Office Closed for Veterans Day
|
Please be aware that my district office in Hatboro will be closed tomorrow in observance of Veterans Day. We’ll be reopening on Thursday for our regular hours.
|
It has been my honor to serve as your Representative of Pennsylvania’s 152nd Legislative District, and it continues to be.
It is my distinct privilege to represent this incredible district for another term in office. This district has been my home for every important moment in my life, including these past six years serving you. Thank you for trusting me to serve you all for another two years.
I’m already back in Harrisburg and back to work with my returning colleagues to set our agenda for the upcoming term. I look forward to meeting some of our new faces in January.

Changes in Medicaid are Coming
|
Big changes to Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program begin January 1, 2027. Under a new federal law, some adults ages 19-64 will need to meet new work and community engagement requirements, and some Medicaid recipients will have their eligibility reviewed every six months instead of annually.
If you are on Medicaid, make sure DHS has your current address and contact information so you don't miss notices about your benefits. You can update your information through COMPASS and sign up for text and email alerts from DHS.
Call the FAQ line at 1-877-883-6383 or learn more about the upcoming Medicaid changes here.

Thank You For Your Service
|
This Wednesday, we honor all who have served. As a veteran myself, I understand what a sacred duty it is to take up the oath to serve our country. Thank you to my fellow veterans from every branch of the military for all that you do, have done, and continue to do to serve our country with full faith and dignity.

Montgomery County Salute to Veterans Flag Raising
|
It was a rainy and solemn Saturday in Norristown for the Veterans Flag Raising. Representatives of all branches of the military gathered in front of the courthouse to honor veterans from around the county, hosted by our county commissioners. It was an honor to stand among such a collection of patriots from all ages and eras.

Union Library Veterans Day Symposium
|
I was honored to attend a Veterans Day Symposium at the Union Library of Hatboro with State Senator Maria Collett. It was a wonderful event honoring and celebrating our veterans and traditions dating back to the Revolutionary War and the Second World War.
I want to thank the Union Library for having Senator Collett and me in attendance and for hosting such a marvelous event.

Abington Area Leaf Collection Schedule
|
Abington is holding its annual Leaf Collection Program. The pickup program is divided into 15 areas, labeled “A” through “O” on the map below. Residents must have their leaves curbside on Monday of the scheduled pickup week.
Additional guidelines:
- Do not blow leaves into the way of traffic.
- Try to create piles at the edge of your property and, if possible, not in the street, in an effort to keep the roadway and storm drains clear of debris.
- Wet leaves in the road may create a slippery surface and are therefore a traffic hazard.
- Do not mix trash or other debris with leaves, grass clippings, or brush. Non-vegetative debris does not decompose and interferes with the composting process, therefore making for an inferior product.
You can find your leaf collection week by using the Interactive Leaf Area Map. A resident can search their address using the search prompt in the upper right-hand corner.
