Dear Neighbors, 

We have had another busy week of grant presentations and community events here in the district! I had the pleasure of presenting Centennial School District with a $300,000 grant to refurbish their planetarium; and I visited the Warminster Library to join them in the celebration of their 50th anniversary.

Additionally, our Vaccine Clinic with Eric’s Rx was a success. We greatly appreciate everyone who took to the time to stop in.

Friendly Reminder: The General Election is quickly approaching. Don't let your voice go unheard this November 3rd. If you don’t already have a plan to vote, visit here: www.vote.pa.gov. More information is below.

As always, if you need help with any state-related matter, feel free to reply to this email or call 215-323-6997.

Sincerely,

Brian

On Tuesday, I was proud to present a $300,000 grant check to the Centennial School District to help fund the refurbishment of William Tennent High School’s planetarium.

After being invited to visit the planetarium over the summer, I saw firsthand the potential of this incredible facility. As a huge fan of all things space-related—and with Cosmos by Carl Sagan being my favorite book—I was excited to help secure funding to bring this unique resource back to life.

I’d like to thank my colleagues State Rep. Kristen Marcell and State Sen. Frank Farry, who also helped secure funding for this project. I’m always looking for opportunities to work in a bipartisan manner to bring resources back to our communities here in Bucks County.

I’m happy that we were able to ensure this one-of-a-kind facility continues educating and entertaining our students and community for many years to come!

I was proud to attend the Warminster Library’s 50th anniversary celebration and present an official House citation commemorating this important milestone.

Founded in 1960 by Mary Jane Courtright and the Warminster Federated Women’s Club, the library has grown into a valued community resource, serving generations of residents.

Thank you to the library staff and members of the Warminster Library Board for their dedication to keeping the library running for our community and for organizing a wonderful celebration.

Congratulations to the Warminster Library on 50 years and on continuing to serve our community for years to come!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Vaccine Clinic last Wednesday at the Ben Wilson Senior Center! We were glad to help some of our neighbors get their flu and COVID-19 shots ahead of the colder months.

A special thank-you to Eric’s RX for partnering with our office to make this clinic possible. We appreciate your support in helping keep our community healthy! We look forward to continuing to provide resources and services to residents throughout our district.

You're invited to my Senior SEPTA Pass Event! Join my office to apply for a first-time 65+ SEPTA Pass or renew your expired pass. All you need is your photo ID or your old card. 

We look forward to seeing you Saturday, November 14, from 11:00AM to 1:00PM at Ben Wilson Senior Center.

As technology has continued to advance, automated license plate readers, commonly referred to as FLOCK cameras, have become a popular tool utilized by law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and other private organizations. This technology can automatically read a license plate and check it against any public databases for owner information and legal violations. 
 
Although a useful for law enforcement agencies, the use of these readers is currently unregulated which presents significant privacy concerns for our motorists. Pennsylvanians deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their private information is actually being kept private.

On Monday, the House passed House Bill 2771, which would limit how government agencies can use these readers, restrict how any collected data can be used, and require that any collected data be destroyed in a timely manner. Additionally, this bill will prohibit the use of these readers for surveillance and will ensure that any collected data cannot be shared for unlawful purposes.  

As a former Police Officer, I understand the importance of give our law enforcement the tools they need while also protecting the privacy and constitutional rights of our citizens. We must strike a balance between public safety and individual privacy by establishing clear guidelines and safeguards to ensure these tools are used responsibly and transparently. I that this bill does just that. 

H.B. 2771 now moves to the state Senate for further consideration. 

The Bucks County Intermediate Unit will host the 26th annual Secondary Transition Options & Resource Fair from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, at Bucks County Intermediate Unit 22, 705 N. Shady Retreat Road, Doylestown.

The event will connect students and families with schools, agencies and community organizations offering resources to support the transition from school to adulthood. Information will be available on post-secondary education and training, employment, independent living, community resources, and legal, financial and life planning.

The fair also will feature parent presentations from Bucks County Intellectual Disability/Autism Services and a student-only presentation on employability.

No registration is required. For more information, please see flyer.

Changes to Medicaid, also known as Medical Assistance in Pennsylvania, are starting 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.

As we approach the General Election on Tuesday, November 3, there are two key dates to remember:

• Tuesday, Oct. 27– Last day to apply for an absentee or mail-in ballot.
• Tuesday, Nov. 3 – Election Day: Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Voters must be in line by 8 p.m. to cast their ballot. Mail-in and absentee ballots must be received by your county election office by 8 p.m.

To find your polling location, update your voter information or for more voter services, visit vote.pa.gov.

Bucks County’s vote-by-mail season is officially underway, with the first mail ballots already being sent to voters. Prefer to handle your mail-in ballot in person? Seven “on-demand” locations are now open across the county.

On-demand voting allows you to go to a designated location, request a mail-in ballot, fill it out on site, and return it immediately. You don’t have to wait for a ballot to arrive in the mail or visit the post office.

On-demand locations include the Board of Elections office, Government Services Centers in Quakertown and Levittown, the Warminster Township Free Library, and Bucks County Community College campuses. Each location also has a secure ballot drop box staffed by a Board of Elections employee during operating hours.

The deadline to request a mail-in ballot is October 27. Completed ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 3.
