Brown Launches New Voter FAQ Webpage to Clarify Pennsylvania Election Processes
I’m excited to announce the launch of a comprehensive FAQ webpage I have created to help answer your most common questions about Pennsylvania’s election process. Civic engagement and secure elections are the bedrock of our Republic. When citizens actively participate and voting is conducted with integrity, we strengthen the foundation of our nation—ensuring that every voice is heard, every vote is counted, and trust in our institutions is upheld. As your state Senator, my goal is to uphold these values. Unfortunately, I regularly receive feedback that individuals do not know where to find trusted, factual, and simply unbiased information regarding our elections. It is my hope this FAQ page will be a source of trusted and impartial information for all Pennsylvania voters, whether you are Democrat, Republican, or Independent. For more information and to access the FAQ page, please visit Brown’s official website here. Senate Votes to Strengthen PA’s Sexual Offender Registry
The Senate unanimously approved legislation to protect children from sexual predators by closing a loophole in existing state law. The legislation now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration. Senate Bill 1317 would add the crime of sexual assault by a sports official, volunteer or employee of a nonprofit association as a Tier II sexual offense, requiring individuals convicted of this offense to register as a sexual offender under the Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act. Under current law, those convicted of this offense are not required to register as sex offenders. The bill supports the Senate Republican priority of cultivating healthy and safe communities. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
As we kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Pennsylvania, we honor the brave survivors, fighters and advocates who inspire us all in the battle against breast cancer. Each year, we turn the Capitol fountain pink as a powerful reminder of our commitment to raising awareness, advancing research and supporting early detection efforts. This month serves as an important time to reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead. One in eight women will get breast cancer in her lifetime, so early detection and access to life-saving treatments remain critical. We stand united in spreading awareness and fostering hope, reminding everyone that we can make a lasting impact in the fight against breast cancer. Stay up to date here.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to East Stroudsburg University and Lehigh Valley Pocono Hospital for organizing this event every year. Their dedication to raising awareness and supporting those affected by breast cancer is truly commendable! Salvation Army Harvest Festival
It was a wonderful evening at the 2024 Harvest Festival & Auction, supporting the East Stroudsburg Salvation Army. I’m proud to celebrate my friend and dedicated volunteer, Gina Bertucci, as she received the Ann & Joseph Farda Community Service Award! This award honors Monroe County residents who go above and beyond in serving others, and Gina’s recognition is so well-deserved.
