It’s a win for workers, unions, and our economy.

Blayre and I join all of our trade and union workers in mourning of the Ironworkers Local 401 member who died and the two presumed dead, following the parking garage collapse in Philadelphia.
In solidarity. Always.
More students are choosing CTE and Vo-Tech programs than ever before because they can enter the workforce as soon as they graduate high school–with no debt–and get paid well.
And because we’ve driven out state dollars to expand these programs, people are able to build their careers on their terms.
The fountain is ON!
Government should be a force for good in our lives and should make an impact on folks who need it the most – that’s where our priorities should be.

Last week, I heard directly from the students who’ve benefited from our Hunger-Free Campus initiative that directs state dollars to fight food insecurity in college.
We’re helping students meet their basic needs so that they can focus on their education and not when their next meal is.
As a first generation college graduate, I recognize the challenges that many college students are still facing, and that includes how to pay for food.

Too many college students can’t afford to buy food, especially now with rising costs. But Pennsylvania is working with our colleges and universities like @pointparku.bsky.social to address food insecurity on campus and make sure students don’t go hungry.
Alstom is a national leader in rail manufacturing and I was honored to join them at their site in West Mifflin to hear about the upcoming projects for outside transit agencies that will be made right here in PA.
Manufacturing and public transit go hand in hand in Pennsylvania as both of our largest transit agencies, SEPTA and PRT, rely on PA manufacturers to build the commuter trains, light rail, and even subway cars.
No one thinks this is fair or just, but the current law has locked away many people for life, with no hope, save the remote chance at a commutation.
