Happy International Women's Day!
I was honored to join a panel celebrating Women's History Month alongside some incredible Montco leaders.
Together, we're building solidarity, amplifying women's voices, and organizing for a brighter, more equitable future.
Housing costs have become an out-of-control financial burden for so many Pennsylvanians.
Iβm working with my @pasenate.com colleagues to make housing more affordable, safe and accessible.
Every Pennsylvanian deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare.
As a member of the Governorβs Advisory Commission on Women, I am excited to announce that The State of the Woman Report is underway!

Happy Women's History Month!
This month and every month, I'm proud to advocate for women and girls across PA as a member of the PA Women's Health Caucus, the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus and the Governorβs Advisory Commission on Women.
Pennsylvania women are leading the change. πͺ
Did you know that about 1.2 million (1 in 12) Pennsylvanians live with a rare disease?
Iβm proud to be a part of the PA Rare Disease Advisory Council to continue to shine a light on patientsβ experiences and advocate for greater inclusion and research. #RareDiseaseDay
The legislation Iβm proposing tackles the housing crisis on multiple fronts:
βοΈ Preventing corporate investors from jacking up prices
βοΈ Addressing homelessness and housing instability, and
βοΈ Finding creative ways to increase housing availability.
Because a healthy PA begins with a healthy home.
February 26 is Letter to an Elder Day! βοΈ Handwritten letters mean so much - especially for older adults who may feel isolated from their community.
Take some time to write a letter to a family member, a neighbor, or to someone on the Love for Our Elders list: loveforourelders.org/letters.
Todi's Place of Hope is OPEN! π©΅ The new year-round, short-term housing facility in Lansdale, PA will provide shelter & support services for up to 20 adults at a time.
While our work to tackle housing access continues, Todi's Place will help fill critical gaps and strengthen pathways to stability.
Iβm wishing a peaceful holy month to those observing Ramadan across the 12th District. Ramadan Mubarak!
Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson was a tireless champion for equality, dignity and justice. It was an absolute honor to meet him during his visit the PA State Capitol in 2024. May his legacy continue to inspire us to speak truth to power and fight for a brighter, fairer future for all.
Happy Lunar New Year! Warm wishes to everyone ringing in the Year of the Horse in the 12th District and across the Commonwealth! π π
Iβm ready to work together to ensure working families have a safe, stable place to call home.
And Iβm proud to have introduced legislation to help us reach that common goal:
We know that a healthy Pennsylvania starts with a healthy home. But right now, too many of our neighbors are being left behind.
Governor Shapiroβs new Housing Action Plan lays out concrete steps to bring down housing costs, expand housing availability, and protect renters across our Commonwealth.
I was excited to deliver your donations to Mission Kids this week! These snacks ensure children coming to their office feel safe, supported and welcome. π
Thanks to the Mission Kids team for everything they do to help children and families heal from abuse.
SB1014, a bell-to-bell cell phone ban for K-12, addresses the harms of constant digital distractions and sets our students β and dedicated educators β up for success.
I was proud to vote YES and see the bill pass the Senate last week.
Though the Birds aren't competing today, look out for these Philly-area nods during the ad breaks! π

The Governor's budget plan is laser focused on putting more money into working familiesβ pockets, continuing to invest in public education, growing good-paying jobs, strengthening public safety, and expanding access to affordable healthcare β all without raising taxes.
I was glad to see the Governorβs budget address spotlight so many issues that matter deeply to the people I represent - and that bring us closer to a healthy PA, where families can afford their lives, schools give every child a fair shot, and communities are safe, stable and full of opportunity.

"Nearly 500,000 Pennsylvanians are seeing their health insurance premiums double this year because Congress failed to act.
Of that 500,000, over 85,000 Pennsylvanians have already dropped health insurance in just the first four weeks of this year because of those cost increases." - @governor.pa.gov
If we want to grow Pennsylvaniaβs economy, @governor.pa.gov knows we must invest in our workers.
That starts with raising our shameful $7.25/hour minimum wage, less than every single neighboring state. #PABudget
Affordable, quality childcare is vital to ensuring Pennsylvania families and businesses can thrive. #PABudget
When we invest in PA students, weβre investing in the future of our Commonwealth. #PABudget
