I joined my colleague and friend, state Rep. Danilo Burgos, to discuss the importance of some amazing education opportunities that are available!
I took a tour with our 12th Police District Captain Matthew Johnson, leaders from ACANA, and others to find out more about Africatown & the resources they need to continue the economic development of the area. It was an exciting tour of this growing part of our community! #InformationIsPower
Connecting folks at Lindy Apartments with city & state resources was a great success this week! It's always great talking with neighbors across our area and ensuring they're getting the help they need. The more you know, the more you grow so check in with my office to see how we can help you!
#InformationIsPower so you don’t want to miss out on this event Thursday night at 6 p.m. at RepReginaYoung.com/RedCrossTownHall with the @americanredcross.bsky.social. We’ll talk all about being prepared for disasters and resources available in our community. #JoinTheConversation on Thursday night!
We can do so much more together, and that’s what this group is here for. I’m proud to stand with this bipartisan group to launch our Anti-Human Trafficking Caucus. I’ve been working on strategies to #EndHumanTrafficking and I’m happy to find like-minded legislators to combine our efforts.
I'm fighting to help YOU reduce your tax burden and keep more of your paycheck. I spoke with the Department of Revenue about the impact of the new PA Student Loan Interest Deduction and other efforts by @pahousedems.com to support hardworking Pennsylvanians. #JoinTheConversation
One of my passions is facilitating Classroom-to-Career opportunities for our young people and PA's Community Colleges & PASSHE schools are key to nurturing confidence in our future leaders. I spoke with leaders from CCP and other community colleges and PASSHE schools.

#EducationIsPower, but as a mom of a college student my thoughts go immediately to safe spaces. I spoke with leaders of Temple, Lincoln, and Pitt about their efforts to increase public safety on their campuses & the impacts of federal funding cuts on those challenges.

Today's @padempolicy.bsky.social hearing brought us testimony of how the high cost of life-saving medication vs. the need to work is causing problems for seniors. That's why I'm fighting to raise income limits for PACENET so our seniors don't have to decide between groceries vs. medication.
LIVE AT NOON: Costs continue to rise on everything, including life-saving medication. @repreginayoung.com hosts a hearing on what can be done to make sure seniors get the care they need. Watch live: PAHouse.com/Policy
I’m working to ensure that our seniors & most vulnerable neighbors can afford their life-saving medications. I’m proud to host a @padempolicy.bsky.social hearing on Tuesday at noon on my bill that would raise the income limits for the PACENET program. #JoinTheConversation youtube.com/live/tjtDYY1...

Last year, my bill to double the penalties for child labor violations passed in the #PaHouse so I was interested to speak with the Dept. of Labor & Industry about trends in violations & the impact of increased penalties on those who exploit our children for labor.
