When I was sworn in as your Senator in 2023, I made one very important promise: to work hard! πͺ
In my first two years, we delivered more than $65 million in state grants, enacted 7 bills into law, and served thousands of constituents through direct services and outreach. π
In 2025, we built even more on this record. Here is what we accomplished:
1οΈβ£I secured over $30 million in state grants for the 40th District.
2οΈβ£My offices filed over 500 property tax rebates for constituents.
3οΈβ£We helped more than 100 Veterans obtain benefits through the American Legion.
4οΈβ£I authored 35 legislative proposals on issues that matter most to our communities.
5οΈβ£I served on the Governorβs Commission on Women and the Gino Merli Veterans Home Advisory Council.
6οΈβ£As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I reviewed the state budget line-by-line to advocate for responsible and effective spending.
7οΈβ£In the district, I hosted events that reached tens of thousands of residents, providing education, and connecting residents with resources.
I also make it a priority to regularly attend community eventsβfrom business openings to Eagle Scout ceremonies and 100th birthdaysβensuring I stay connected and accessible to you. π
In 2026, I will use these accomplishments to build on delivering even more for the 40th Senatorial District. As always, thank you for your trust in me to work hard for you. I will continue to focus on common sense policy and results while creating an environment that fosters patriotism, deeper education, good government, kindness, and respect. πΊπΈ
It is going to be a great 2026! β€
