I’m excited to announce over $1.8 million in state grants to invest in our communities were awarded today. From improving public facilities to supporting local job creation, this funding helps advance projects that make our region stronger and better prepared for future growth

The new office will keep us in the Carrick neighborhood, located near the intersection of Churchview and Brownsville Roads. My team and I ask for your patience as we get our new space fully operational!

My district office is moving down the street! After five years, we will be moving to a new location to better serve you (with hopefully fewer water leaks!) at 2600 Brownsville Road., Pittsburgh, PA 15227.

More to come on the other votes we are taking today, but I’m excited to share that I have another piece of legislation that will be implemented.

We are back in session today, working to continue to advance legislation that benefits Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania’s autistic lawmakers condemn Trump-Kennedy approach to the disorder • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Two state lawmakers in the commonwealth, both Democrats, are openly autistic. They have decried the administration’s approach to addressing the developmental disorder.

Trump & RFK Jr.’s fearmongering about autism + Tylenol is dangerous & insulting. PA @repjess.com & Rep. Abigail Salisbury—both openly autistic—are calling it out, demanding science, respect, and real support for autistic people, not stigma.

Awaiting SCOTUS action, these Pa. lawmakers want to protect same-sex marriage here The move comes as the U.S. Supreme Court was asked to consider taking on a case that could overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

“If the marriage equality bill were to come up for a vote in the state Senate, I am more than confident that it would pass with significant bipartisan support. So ... what is Senate Republican leadership afraid of, and why won’t they bring it up for a vote?”

Transit funding is about real people + real jobs in every PA county.

✅ Fund transit
✅ Fix roads & bridges
✅ Create local jobs
✅ No new taxes

The House acted, 5 times! The Senate has no excuse. If they say no? They owe Pennsylvanians an answer and a plan.

Just voted yes on the General Appropriations bill, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s progress toward advancing the final budget bills.

This bill invests in schools, health care, housing, and public safety. Pennsylvanians deserve action, not delays.

PA is the only large state without a False Claims Act, and it’s costing us millions. The Taxpayer Protection Against Fraud Act would crack down on fraud, protect whistleblowers, and help recover taxpayer money. It’s time to hold bad actors accountable. 💸

Today, we passed bills that make improvements to our justice system, protect taxpayer dollars, and support our childcare centers.
