Yesterday in Harrisburg, I stood alongside survivors, advocates, fellow legislators, and the Smart Heart Sports Coalition to call for urgent action on Senate Bill 375, Greg Moyer`s Law, my bill to ensure schools are prepared to respond to sudden cardiac arrest.
Rachel Moyer has been a tireless voice for change ever since her son, Greg, tragically passed away at 15 after collapsing during a basketball game with no AED readily available. For years, Rachel and I have worked on this legislation together to make AED readiness standard in schools.
Ran into @therapydoglink and his handler, Rachel, while in Scranton today. 🐾 Link is busy working, helping to provide stress release to students at Lackawanna College as they finish out their semester. 🥰
May is Lyme & Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Month!
I visited Dr. Nicole Chinnici, Director of the PA Tick Research Lab at East Stroudsburg University to talk about how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from tick-borne illnesses.
I was proud to secure funding so Pennsylvania residents can submit a tick for FREE testing 🧪. The results can help guide your doctor if you’ve been exposed to a tick-borne pathogen.
🌐 submit a tick at TickLab.org.
So great to run into Len tonight at the VFW Post 2540. Had to snap a quick photo with him… his shirt made me laugh! 😊

So great to be joined by Smithfield Township, Pennsylvania State Police, Marshalls Creek Fire CompanyCompany, and members of our community. 🤗
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.
