Last week, the Senate passed Senate Bill 9, the Save Women’s Sports Act. You can hear my comments during the bill`s passage.
As a former college athlete, I know the value of fair competition and the life lessons sports teach—leadership, teamwork, and perseverance. Every athlete deserves a level playing field. This bill protects opportunities for biological women and girls in K-12 and college sports, upholding the intent of Title IX.
✅ The bill now heads to the House of Representatives.

Yesterday in Harrisburg, I stood alongside survivors, advocates, fellow legislators, and the Smart Heart Sports Coalition to call for urgent action on Senate Bill 375, Greg Moyer`s Law, my bill to ensure schools are prepared to respond to sudden cardiac arrest.
Rachel Moyer has been a tireless voice for change ever since her son, Greg, tragically passed away at 15 after collapsing during a basketball game with no AED readily available. For years, Rachel and I have worked on this legislation together to make AED readiness standard in schools.
Ran into @therapydoglink and his handler, Rachel, while in Scranton today. 🐾 Link is busy working, helping to provide stress release to students at Lackawanna College as they finish out their semester. 🥰
