Got a chance to check out the exciting development of the Loan Guard building in downtown Harrisburg 🏙️👏🏾.
There’s still more to do to revitalize downtown, but wins like this move us closer to a vibrant, thriving city.

At a time where the Trump admin is erasing LGBTQ+ stories, history, and rights, the PA House Dems want to say that on this #NationalComingOutDay, we see you, we respect you, and we stand with YOU. Whether you’re out or not, you are valid and you are loved ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤍🩵

WE DID IT!!! 82 hours. 201,701 steps. Countless stories and supporters along the way.
I’m proud, I’m sore, and I’m more certain than ever: Pennsylvanians won’t stop until we #FundTransit.
Happy Labor Day! 💪🏾 Today we honor the workers who power this country. Thanks to unions we have weekends, paid leave, safer jobs & more—and we’ll keep fighting until every worker has dignity, security & fairness. #LaborDay

The PA House passed a bipartisan budget that invests in schools, transit, and essential services. The Senate’s stripped-down plan underfunds our future. Pennsylvanians deserve more than short-term fixes.

Currently at the Damian Marley concert in Harrisburg and I’ve found my true calling in life—waving a giant flag for a reggae band.

It’s been a full few weeks—inside the Capitol and out in the community.
Grateful for the chance to serve, connect, and recharge with family along the way.
Trump is trying to bury a sexual abuse scandal to protect the rich and powerful—while quietly ripping health care away from millions and adding trillions in debt just to give billionaires another tax break.

Working people are sick and tired of a system where it takes FIVE career lifetimes to earn what CEOs make in just one year.
Fight back against the billionaire and corporate greed. Join the movement, and organize your workplace! aflcio.org/formaunion

This Memorial Day weekend, our community showed powerful remembrance and patriotism—from spaghetti in Penbrook to the Blue Angels in Middletown, honoring Black vets in Oberlin to celebrating service in Highspire. We will never forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
