It was great to join my colleagues on the House Majority Policy Committee in Cranberry Township for a roundtable discussion on the future of Route 228 and the final phase of construction. After decades of work, we’re finally close to completing this critical corridor for drivers in Butler County and the surrounding region.

PennDOT’s commitment to funding more than half of the remaining construction costs is an encouraging step toward making travel more reliable for everyone who depends on this route.

Congratulations to North Hills Community Outreach on officially opening the new solar greenhouse at the Rosalinda Sauro Sirianni Garden! I was honored to speak at the ribbon cutting ceremony. This new growing space is a powerful addition to a garden that has been delivering fresh, nourishing produce for our neighbors in need for over 15 years.

I am proud to stand with members of AFT Local 2067 as they advocate for a fair contract with Community College of Allegheny County for instructors that are providing a world class education while ensuring that 81% of CCAC students graduate with no debt.

I’ll always stand on the side of workers who are fighting for a living wage, safe working conditions, and dignity on the job.

Thanks to everyone who came out to my most recent shredding event with Senator Lindsey Williams! It’s always great to help our neighbors safely dispose of sensitive documents and prevent personal information from reaching scammers.

We are so grateful to Ross Township’s Department of Public Works for helping make the event run smoothly and to Steel City Shredding for providing this important service. We’ll be hosting more shred events next year – I hope to see you there!

My office was thrilled to see over 300 attendees at our annual Senior Fair with Senator Lindsey Williams this week. With over 53 exhibitors, dozens of flu and COVID-19 vaccines administered by Waltmire Pharmacy, donated baked goods from Sheetz, and catering from The Unconventional Kitchen, sponsored by Highmark Wholecare, the event was a roaring success!

Thanks to all our sponsors and everyone who helped make it happen, especially to Ross Township for hosting us in the community center.

My office is proud to be a collection site for the Women and Girls Foundation and GirlGov’s 2026 Community Care Donation Drive! They have partnered with The Autonomous Body Shop to collect essential care items for communities in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.
