Big step forward! HB1042—a bipartisan bill I introduced w/ Rep. Natalie Mihalek—passed the House Judiciary Committee ✅ It creates incentives for people in prison to complete education/job training programs & reduces job licensing barriers post-release. Smarter justice = safer PA.

Where traditional financial institutions fail PA CDFI Network steps up and delivers for small businesses. They have become the gateway to the #AmericanDream for many and deserve all the support that we can give them.

I sat down with Willette, a 28 year direct support professional, to hear why she decided to move to a different state to make more money in another field, because Pa. has failed to support these life-sustaining jobs. Watch more of Willette's story: youtu.be/5hUqqu_Kelg

I'm no fan of New Jersey, especially their hockey team, but they do have one bright spot - a $15 minimum wage. We could have that, too, plus adult-use cannabis! @PAHouseDems have passed the bills, it's time for the #PASenate to take action.

Thanks to all who attended our Senior Fair to connect with local programs and services. Thanks to our vendors and community partners, my staff and volunteers who made the day a success and to Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel for hosting us for 5 years in a row!
