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.

Can you blame me? What was I thinking … 👠
Had a great time celebrating the grand opening of @wawa in Smithfield Township today! ☕️✂️ Lots of smiles - and free coffee for the next four days!
At the event, I was also proud to announce a $3 million grant I secured to finish Route 209 — a heavily traveled route that I know many of you use daily. 🚧🛣️
Wawa is a proud Pennsylvania-based company — PA knows a thing or two about great convenience stores! 🎉

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.

On Friday afternoon, I had the privilege of returning to my alma mater, East Stroudsburg High School, as a panelist for Women’s History Month. It’s always inspiring to engage with students and discuss the importance of civic engagement and the importance of accessibility to your government officials. A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Healey for his dedication and effort in organizing such a meaningful event! 🇺🇸

I was honored to join Senator Doug Mastriano, Chairman of the PA Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee, Senator Lisa Baker, PA Adjutant General John Pippy, Brigadier General Maureen Weigle, management, staff, and advocate associations for a roundtable discussion at the Gino J Merli Veterans Center, where I serve on the Advisory Council. 🪖 The Gino Merli Veteran Center provides compassionate nursing and personal home care to veterans and their spouses. We then visited Camp Freedom in Carbondale, a nonprofit organization that provides healing experiences through outdoor adventures, support, and love to veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families. 🇺🇸❤️
