Announcing $3.1 million for local public projects
|
I am proud to announce that seven projects involving my legislative district have been awarded a combined $3.11 million in state funding through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Local Share Account program.
The grants will support projects that address critical needs across Bucks County, including strengthening the emergency services residents rely on every day, improving the safety and resilience of communities, and assisting local organizations and municipalities with important investments that will have a lasting impact on residents. The funding includes:
- Public Utility Service Vehicles – $126,400
- Bariatric Ambulance Acquisition – $387,126
- Ambulance Replacement and Equipment Procurement – $200,000
- Central Bucks County Special Response Team HazMat Equipment – $254,364
- Warminster Township Police Department Vehicles – $152,848
- Greenley Avenue Storm Sewer (Phase III) – $994,271
- Bucks County Blight Abatement Program – $1 million
As a former first responder, I know as well as anyone how strongly our communities depend on reliable emergency services and safe infrastructure. These projects address those needs, and I’m excited to watch the impact of these funds uplift our community for years to come.
All the projects have been funded through the statewide Local Share Account Program, which was established as an amendment to the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. The program allows for the distribution of gaming revenues through the Commonwealth Financing Authority to support projects in the public interest throughout Pennsylvania.

Recognizing the DART East Grand Opening!
|
Last week, I was thrilled to attend the DART's 25th Anniversary event and grand opening of the DART East Line!
As many of you know, I have been advocating for an expansion of the Doylestown Area Regional Transit since I was sworn in; and to see the fruition of years of advocacy was surreal. Thank you to everyone who joined me in celebrating this amazing day for our community –and to the people who helped me in advocating for this much-needed expansion.
Remember: Ride the DART!

Another Successful Veterans Expo!
|
Last weekend, our office alongside the offices of Rep. Nancy Guenst and Rep. Melissa Cerrato hosted our annual Vet Expo at the VE Club here in Warminster.
As a Navy Veteran, I am always more than happy to host this event every year and connect veterans with the resources available to them – all while providing a nice German meal courtesy of the VE Club's cooks!

If you missed out and need help getting connected with VA services, our office has VSO hours once a month, so feel free to call us at (215) 323-6997 if you are interested!

New Britain Fall Festival
|
This past weekend, I had a great time at the New Britain Fall Festival!
It was wonderful to see some folks from the Chal-Brit emergency services, the county treasurer’s office, and Sen. Steve Santarsiero’s office—among other vendors. And of course, it’s always great to go out and chat with constituents!
Thank you for hosting this terrific annual event!

Notice of Upcoming Medicaid Changes
|
Changes to Medicaid, also known as Medical Assistance in Pennsylvania, are coming on January 1, 2027, because of changes to federal law. More information is expected to be released, but here is what you need to know for now:
- Some adults will need to renew their Medicaid Plan every six months instead of annually.
- A new requirement means some adults enrolled in Medicaid will need to participate in work, school, job training, volunteering, or other community activities.
If you receive Medicaid, now is a good time to make sure your mailing address and contact information are up to date with DHS so you don’t miss important notices about these changes.
