๐Ÿšง Route 611 Update ๐Ÿšง

Iโ€™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. A repave will also occur from Waring Drive to Arrow Island Overlook. 

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

One step closer! ๐Ÿ™ Iโ€™m excited to announce that my legislation, Senate Bill 840, which aims to enhance Pennsylvaniaโ€™s Alzheimerโ€™s and Dementia infrastructure, has passed the House Health Committee! ๐ŸŽ‰ 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. Weโ€™re making real progress toward better addressing these challenges across our Commonwealth. ๐Ÿ’œ

Iโ€™m excited to share that a package of bills Iโ€™ve been working on to support emergency medical services (EMS) and fire companies has just passed the House Local Government Committee unanimously! ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿš’

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.

These bills now move the the full House for consideration before heading to the Governor's desk.๐Ÿ–Š

A year ago, the Commonwealth Court ruled that Governor Wolfโ€™s action to add Pennsylvania to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) through an executive order was unconstitutional. An impartial analysis from our state's Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) projects RGGI could nearly quadruple new electricity costs for consumers. 

Last week, the Senate approved a bill to repeal this electricity tax. We need policies that protect electricity prices, grid stability, and jobs, not make things harder on Pennsylvania families.๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿ’œ Today is World Alzheimer's Day โ€“ a time to raise awareness and support for those affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

In Pennsylvania, I am working to take steps to better address the Commonwealth's approach to this disease. Two years ago, I introduced Senate Bill 840, which passed the Senate unanimously and is currently awaiting considering in the House of Representatives. My legislation focuses on improving our state's Alzheimer's and Dementia Infrastructure. Additionally, I secured $1.9 million in our state budget to fund this critical program.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those living with Alzheimer's. ๐Ÿ’œ #WorldAlzheimersDay #SB840 #endalz

Meet Rosemary Brown

Northeast Pennsylvania has been my home since I was five; my husband, Joe and I, have raised our three children here and are grateful to live in the beautiful Pocono Mountains to enjoy the unique opportunities this portion of our state has to offer.

The foundation of my life has always been centered around God, my family, and doing my best each day. While I never promise perfection, I do promise hard work and care for our community with an extremely grateful spirit. This is how I truly try to live my life, but it also makes me a better public servant for you.
