In Jenner Township, we honored the legacy of Private First Class Paul A. Gilbert, a Gray native who was killed in action during the Vietnam War.
The PFC Paul A. Gilbert Memorial Bridge now stands on Route 985, over Quemahoning Creek. The designation ensures that all who travel the route will be reminded of Gilbert’s service and enduring impact on Somerset County.
It was a privilege to stand alongside PA State Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar, the Gilbert family and community residents as we paid tribute to a local hero whose sacrifice continues to inspire us all.
On Veterans Day, I joined volunteers at Hill Grove Cemetery to honor the brave men and women who served our nation. Grateful to all who helped make the tribute meaningful.
To our veterans: thank you for your service.

This month, I was proud to join @senatordevlinrobinson and @senatorpicozzi in introducing Senate Resolution 176, recognizing October 2025 as Italian-American Heritage Month in Pennsylvania.
From the steelworkers of Pittsburgh to the bridge builders of Philadelphia, generations of Italian-Americans have helped build our Commonwealth with their hands, hearts, and dedication to the American dream.
Thank you to the members of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in America and Carini I.O.D. who visited the Capitol to celebrate the lasting impact of Italian-Americans on Pennsylvania’s history and culture.
🎣The @pafishandboat wants to remind you to keep going! With summer behind us, there are still plenty of fishing and boating opportunities this fall and winter. For more information, visit their website.
🛶 If you`re boating, remember that life jackets are required from November 1 through April 30 on boats less than 16 feet including all canoes, kayaks and paddleboards.
Early detection saves lives. As October comes to a close, remember that taking charge of your health is powerful. Schedule your screenings, encourage a friend to get checked and support those affected, because awareness is a year-round commitment.
At this year`s @go_laurelhighlands Annual Dinner, we celebrated a decades-long legacy by honoring David & Lillian Cale, recipients of the very first Laurel Highlands Legacy Award!
