While the Borough ultimately has the final say, I've shared a letter with Stroudsburg Borough Council recommending they consider transferring their authority to the courts to fill their mayoral vacancy. This step would play an important role in restoring public trust.

Local decisions matter and I strongly support municipal autonomy.
But when gaps in state law lead to confusion or weaken public trust, it’s my responsibility to act.

When I was sworn in as your Senator in 2023, I made one very important promise: to work hard! 💪

In my first two years, we delivered more than $65 million in state grants, enacted 7 bills into law, and served thousands of constituents through direct services and outreach. 📈

In 2025, we built even more on this record. Here is what we accomplished: 

1️⃣I secured over $30 million in state grants for the 40th District. 
2️⃣My offices filed over 500 property tax rebates for constituents. 
3️⃣We helped more than 100 Veterans obtain benefits through the American Legion. 
4️⃣I authored 35 legislative proposals on issues that matter most to our communities. 
5️⃣I served on the Governor’s Commission on Women and the Gino Merli Veterans Home Advisory Council. 
6️⃣As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I reviewed the state budget line-by-line to advocate for responsible and effective spending. 
7️⃣In the district, I hosted events that reached tens of thousands of residents, providing education, and connecting residents with resources. 

I also make it a priority to regularly attend community events—from business openings to Eagle Scout ceremonies and 100th birthdays—ensuring I stay connected and accessible to you. 👐

In 2026, I will use these accomplishments to build on delivering even more for the 40th Senatorial District. As always, thank you for your trust in me to work hard for you. I will continue to focus on common sense policy and results while creating an environment that fosters patriotism, deeper education, good government, kindness, and respect. 🇺🇸

It is going to be a great 2026! ❤

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.
