I’m pleased to share that the temporary repairs on Route 611 in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area are moving forward, with the road expected to reopen in the coming weeks. Key progress has been made, including the completion of concrete work, nearly finished electrical and barrier installations, and drainage pipe cleaning.

This reopening will provide much-needed relief for our residents, businesses, and commuters.

Today, I had the honor of hosting a press conference for National Midwifery Week, alongside midwives, advocates, and legislators, to announce my bill, Senate Bill 1262 – the Midwifery Modernization Act.
This bill will help expand access to high-quality maternity care, especially in rural areas, where families face growing challenges. In the U.S., 5.5 million women live in areas with low access to maternity care, and 810 women die every day from preventable pregnancy-related causes. In Pennsylvania, 9% of counties are designated as maternity care deserts, with no obstetric services.
This legislation is critical to improving maternal health outcomes for Pennsylvania families. 💜

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting with Riley Gains and Frank Murphy as they continue their work to advocate for fairness in Women`s Sports. As a former collegiate athlete, I personally understand the importance of athletics for young women and girls. It is critical we preserve these opportunities for women to thrive in competitive sports.
Riley, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer, and Frank, a former NFL player, are committed to helping the next generation of athletes reach their potential. Their efforts are critical to preserving fairness in competition.

One step closer! 🙏 I’m excited to announce that my legislation, Senate Bill 840, which aims to enhance Pennsylvania’s Alzheimer’s and Dementia infrastructure, has passed the House Health Committee! 🎉 This is an important step forward as the bill now heads to the full House of Representatives for consideration before it heads to the Governor`s desk.
In addition to this legislative effort, I was able to secure $1.9 million in the state budget to fund critical programs that support Alzheimer`s and Dementia care. We’re making real progress toward better addressing these challenges across our Commonwealth. 💜

I’m excited to share that a package of bills I’ve been working on to support emergency medical services (EMS) and fire companies has just passed the House Local Government Committee unanimously! 🏥🚒
These bills will give our local governments the flexibility they need to better allocate resources, particularly in hiring and retaining the personnel who keep our communities safe. The best part? This can all be done without adding any new tax burdens on our residents.
