Last week my bill, HB 2024, passed out of the House unanimously and is now headed to the Senate! My bill ensures that our Commonwealth adequately prepares our County Veteran Affairs Directors to provide trauma-informed care, including military sexual trauma (MST), PTSD and traumatic brain injury to our veterans. We owe it to our veterans to see that the staff supporting them are best equipped to meet their needs.

March session week in Harrisburg was filled with guests from around the Commonwealth, advocates, and passing good legislation. I was honored to welcome PA Resident and one of the original Rosie the Riveter's, Mae Krier, to the Capitol for the passage of my resolution to celebrate Rosie the Riveter Day in PA. I also held a press conference to urge the Senate to pass my bill, HB 630, for equal pay. By passing the equal pay act we invest in our working families and economy. It's a common-sense solution to a longstanding inequality.

My spring shredding event will take place on Saturday, May 9th from 10 AM - 1 PM at the Pickering Technical College HS in Phoenixville. The Chester County Food Bank will be onsite to collect canned goods. Let us help you safely and securely dispose of your important documents!

On April 16th, I am joining the Domestic Violence Center in Chester County and HireONE to discuss the importance of Equal Pay. I will be taking part in a panel to discuss the real-life impacts implementing equal pay would have on our community. If you are interested in attending, register today!
