Since being elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2010 and later to the Pennsylvania State Senate in 2022, I have worked diligently to remain accessible, dedicated, and a common-sense problem-solver for our community. I am proud to have successfully passed several bipartisan laws during my time in the legislature, always prioritizing our district’s needs. 

I have compiled a list of the legislation I have personally authored and I invite you to review it to see the work we have accomplished together. Thank you for your continued trust and support!

Starting this morning at 9:11 AM, Laura, a dedicated marine, will be walking 9.11 miles with an American flag to pay tribute to those who lost their lives during the Sept 11th terrorist attack. 🙏 she will be followed by her safety car (driver, Ray😊). If you drive near RT209 in East Stroudsburg, please be mindful of them both, and share some encouragement, and she makes her way to honor our fallen heroes. 

Laura’s tribute is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice made by so many on this tragic day 23-years ago. Let’s all support her effort by offering words of encouragement, “honking” in solidarity, or simply being mindful as she completes this meaningful journey. 🇺🇸

Mackenzie from my staff stopped by before they started this morning to express my appreciation. 👍 #neverforget

My heart is heavy as we remember the tragedy of 9/11/01 which occurred 23 years ago today. I spent a lot of time today thinking about the families who were personally affected as well as the volunteers still struggling with illnesses stemming from this horrific event. Even as our nation encountered one of the worst days in our history, we as a people grew closer together and stood in unity. Let us always be grateful for our freedom and pray for peace.🙏
We will #NeverForget.

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.
