This #ThrowbackThursday, we’re highlighting my continued work to secure recurring state funding for the @paticklab, allowing Pennsylvania residents to have ticks tested for FREE for tick-borne illnesses. These tests provide important information that individuals can use in consultation with their medical provider to help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.

As you know, I’ve been one of the leading voices in Harrisburg pushing for a three-year statewide moratorium on data center development in our Commonwealth. I am also the only legislator in Harrisburg who successfully advocated for a vote to establish a three-year moratorium. I’ve taken tangible action to ensure residents’ concerns are heard by introducing my Residents First Legislative Package to address local review, impact studies, transparency and other concerns surrounding these projects.
Watch this video to learn more about the work I’m doing in Harrisburg to put you first.
Senate Bill 509 passed the Senate yesterday and now heads to the House for consideration. This legislation would give local police departments the option to use radar for speed enforcement, providing an important tool to improve roadway safety and address the aggressive driving we see on our local roadways.
PA is currently the only state in the nation that prohibits local police departments from using radar for speed enforcement.
To be clear - this legislation is about public safety, NOT revenue generation. The bill includes safeguards to prevent municipalities from using radar as a revenue source, limiting the amount of speeding fine revenue they can retain to 101% of the previous year`s collections.
My office regularly hears from residents concerned about excessive speeding and aggressive driving on our local roads. I share those concerns and believe we must give our local law enforcement officers the tools they need to address dangerous driving and keep our roads safe.
BIG NEWS FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS IN PA! 🐶 The “Beagle Bill” is on its way to becoming law. Senate Bill 381 prohibits the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals, grants more access to adoption for dogs and cats that had been subject to testing, and puts certain restrictions in place for animal experimentation across the Commonwealth. 🐾
I was proud to co-sponsor SB 381, especially in my role as co-chair of the Senate Animal Protection Caucus. I want to congratulate Senators Mastriano and Comitta, the bill’s prime sponsors, for their hard work and dedication in getting this important legislation across the finish line. ❤
Part of my staff did some team bonding tonight and had a great time at @hotelofhorror - Marlo and Dan`s team sure do an amazing job! 👻 Thank you again for having them tonight and be sure you stop by before the end of the season! 🎃

As we honored Breast Cancer Awareness this week in the Capitol, and I was asked what this means to me. 🩷 It takes all of us to fight breast cancer. 💪
Hear what I have to say, I would love to hear your inspirations! 👂
