The West Scranton community is mourning the sudden loss of Coach Tommy Selemba — a dedicated leader, mentor, and advocate for youth sports. His passing is a powerful reminder of how precious life is and how important it is to be prepared for the unexpected.

It also brings a solemn reminder to the story of Greg Moyer, a young athlete who tragically died from sudden cardiac arrest during a basketball game in 2000. There was no AED on-site.

Since then, Greg’s parents, John and Rachel Moyer, have worked tirelessly to place AEDs in schools and public spaces across Pennsylvania. Their advocacy has saved lives — and it’s why I’m once again calling on the legislature to pass Greg Moyer’s Law, which I’ve authored.

This legislation would: ✔ Require AEDs at all interscholastic athletic events — including practices ✔ Ensure every school and nonpublic school has a Sudden Cardiac Event Emergency Action Plan

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning. A prepared response can mean the difference between life and loss.

To the Moyer family, to Coach Selemba’s loved ones, and to all who have faced this kind of tragedy — your stories matter. Your voices continue to guide this work.

Spent time this morning at Moscow Elementary for Read Across America! 📚🇺🇸 It was pajama day, and I have to admit… I was very jealous of all the cozy slippers! Might need to step up my footwear game next time!

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.
