As we honored Breast Cancer Awareness this week in the Capitol, and I was asked what this means to me. 🩷 It takes all of us to fight breast cancer. 💪
Hear what I have to say, I would love to hear your inspirations! 👂
It was an honor to speak at the Lackawanna County Commission for Women’s Legislative Breakfast and be recognized alongside The Wright Center for Community Health. ☺️
Thank you to the Commission and Lackawanna County Commissioners Thom Welby and Chris Chermak for this recognition, bringing together community leaders for a morning of conversation and bipartisan fellowship. 🇺🇸
It was also a meaningful opportunity to remember longtime board members Sister Maryla Farfour and Maureen Pesavento and reflect on their contributions to the community. 🙏
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible! ❤
This #ThrowbackThursday, we`re going back to 2024 when I enacted Act 14 of 2024, which incorporated the County Code into Pennsylvania’s consolidated statutes to modernize and streamline county government law. ✅
For a full list of bills I enacted throughout my service in the legislature, you can visit SenatorBrown40.com/accomplishments.
I spoke on the Senate floor in support of Aimee’s Law (SB1311), which was approved by the Senate. ✅
This legislation would create a statewide registry of individuals convicted of serious animal abuse offenses, helping prevent convicted abusers from obtaining more animals. ❌
As co-chair of the Senate Animal Protection Caucus, I believe we have a responsibility to take animal cruelty seriously and provide the tools needed to protect animals. 🐾
I am truly grateful for organizations like @awsom_animal_shelter and @camppapillon that work every day to protect animals and find them safe, loving homes. ❤
Today in Harrisburg, I joined my colleagues in turning the Capitol fountain pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💗
Please remind the women in your life to do their annual screenings. I hope you all take this meaningful reminder of the importance of breast cancer awareness, early detection and supporting those who are fighting this disease, as well as the survivors and families who have been impacted. 🙏🩷
Today, I was the ONLY legislator to stand alongside more than 27 citizen and environmental groups and hundreds of residents from across Pennsylvania at the Capitol for a rally calling for stronger protections surrounding data center development.
I continue to be one of the most vocal advocates for a statewide moratorium on data center development in our commonwealth. I am a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 1359, which would establish a three-year statewide moratorium on hyperscale data center development. I am also the only legislator in Harrisburg to have initiated a vote on this moratorium language.
Thank you to the advocates and residents who came to Harrisburg today to make their voices heard. I will continue working to ensure residents and communities come first.
Such a great day for a worthy cause at the @midvalleyathletics Coaches vs Cancer Rally in the Valley on Saturday! 🩷 So nice to see everyone from the community come together to support.
Very special thank you to my friend Liz O`Brien and Coach Chris for all the amazing work they have done to raise money and awareness to bring the community together not just for a score, but for the greater good of fighting cancer! ❤⚽
I am very honored to be recognized by City and State PA as a 2026 Trailblazer in Healthcare! 🌟
Healthcare has always been a very important part of my work in the legislature, from expanding access to care and supporting families to addressing mental health and advocating for better outcomes across Pennsylvania. 🤝
Earlier this year, my midwifery modernization legislation was signed into law, and I’m proud of the work we’ve done to help strengthen maternal health care access in the commonwealth. 🤰 I also founded and co-chair the Senate’s first Mental Health Caucus because I believe we need to continue making mental health a priority. 🧠
I’m grateful for this recognition and, more importantly, grateful for the opportunity to keep working on issues that affect the health and well-being of Pennsylvanians. ❤
