As we welcome the nation and the world to PA for America's 250th birthday in 2026, I am working with local leaders across our 67 counties to use this once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting infrastructure legacy for the next generation of Pennsylvanians. Let's build!

I’m a Councilmember and a coach, but father is my favorite title. #HappyFathersDay to the dads in my family, my neighborhood, and across the city. We look to each other through the highs, the lows, and in-between. And a special thank you to my amazing + supportive family!

Philly is known for higher eds — bringing people to Philly & working to keep them here. We need to do more to support these institutions to keep us competitive & thriving. We launched PHLCouncil’s Higher Ed Task Force to do just that. 📰: MetroPhilly metrophiladelphia.com/new-philly-hig…
