Three bills I'm working on with Rep. Melissa Shusterman (D-Chester) and Rep. Christina Sappey (D-Chester) received bipartisan support by the House Judiciary Committee. We're working together to protect animals, ensure justice is served to individuals who violate our laws, and also protect children and family members, as there is frequently a correlation between these types of crimes and the abuse of people.
The 2025-26 state budget is now over 100 days late. We NEED to reach a compromise that doesn’t result in tax increases for you and your family.
The 2025 Little League World Series is now over. However, Grace and I were lucky enough to spend some time in Williamsport during the height of the games. My love of baseball extends beyond Little League. During President George W. Bush’s administration, I worked in White House communications where we celebrated the prowess of young athletes with tee-ball on the South Lawn. Baseball and all youth sports help instill teamwork and camaraderie, passing along skills, memories, and relationships that can last a lifetime.
All eyes were on Williamsport, PA! The 2025 Little League World Series, featuring some of the best young baseball players in the world, is now over. The tournament featured 20 U.S. and international teams and once again proved that baseball’s youngest stars create some of the sport’s most fun and inspiring moments. This is all about the kids!
On Aug. 19, I hosted my second-ever Back-to-School Event to help local students prepare for the upcoming academic year. My team and I had a blast talking to local kids and seeing their faces light up when handed a new backpack full of school supplies. One of our kiddos even offered to share her erasers with other classmates who don't have them. That's what this is all about! Thank you so much to the sponsors who helped pull off this event for kids and families in the 169th District.
Members of the York County Delegation to the House of Representatives are advocating for Senate Bill 9, the Save Women's Sports Act, which is stalled in the Democrat-controlled House. We must protect the freedoms guaranteed by Title IX, so girls in this Commonwealth maintain right to compete on a level playing field.
On July 29, I attended a Policy Committee hearing about workforce development and the child care industry. Reps. Joe Hogan (R-142) and Shelby Labs (R-143) unveiled legislation that would create a pilot program and pipeline to develop the next generation of early education teachers. We must continue working on commonsense reforms that fight the child care worker shortage and make it more affordable for families.
The America First of Pennsylvania Caucus wishes you a happy Independence Day! God bless America!
On June 4, I joined House and Senate colleagues for a press conference about Gov. Josh Shapiro's staggering $51.47 billion budget proposal. We're contrasting that approach with a level-funded, responsible budget that comes in at $47.9 billion. The General Assembly needs to hold the line to ensure the funding of necessary programs and services while shielding you from tax increases.
A recent meeting of the House Republican Policy Committee meeting afforded us an awesome opportunity to hear directly from some local business owners. These are individuals who are investing in our communities and want to plant multi-generational roots. In order to facilitate that, Harrisburg must take an in-depth look at policies that are holding small businesses back.
