Congratulations to Somerset County’s newest Eagle Scout, Connor Summers!
As a proud member of Troop 5131, Connor took on a project where he designed and built a keystone-shaped area featuring a fire pit for day-use visitors at Laurel Hill State Park. Great work, Connor!
📸 ⏪ Every year on September 11, a remembrance ceremony is held at the Flight 93 National Memorial. Each year, we remember the 40 ordinary people who made an extraordinary choice and made the ultimate sacrifice.
This year I was honored to spend time with Deb Bodley, mother of Deora Bodley, who was the youngest passenger aboard. The courage of Deora and her fellow flight members continues to inspire us, and their legacy will never be forgotten.
Proud to join the dedication of a new historic marker honoring the legend of Betty Knox, this week. 🐃 Her lore is a well-known tale in northern Fayette County and thanks to a grant from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation and the efforts of Eugene and Candy Gordon, her story will now be permanently recognized.
Thank you to the Chestnut Ridge Trout Unlimited for coordinating this week’s dedication and for their ongoing efforts to improve Dunbar Creeks water quality and physical habitat for the last 25 years. Honoring legends like Betty Knox’s helps us celebrate the unique history of our region.

📞 Tired of telemarketing calls at all hours of the day? ➡ The Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee passed a bill to crack down on robocalls and telemarketing scams in Pennsylvania. Sponsored by Senator Michele Brooks, Senate Bill 992 would update outdated telemarketing laws to protect consumers from unwanted calls, texts and AI-driven scams.
The bill bans telemarketing on Sundays, limits calls after 7 p.m. as well as calls before 9 a.m., and strengthens the state’s Do Not Call Registry. It’s our hope that this legislation will better protect Pennsylvanians at any age from the harassment we’ve all unfortunately come to know from telemarketers.
With the collaboration of the Attorney General’s office, we’re proud to move this legislation forward as the bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
Enjoyed visiting @fayette_county_cti yesterday to tour their state-of-the-art facilities and discuss their pre-apprenticeship programs focused on the construction trades. 🛠 Fayette CTI’s work in preparing students with the hands-on skills needed for successful careers in the trades is vital not only for their students, but for the continued growth of the industry and our community.
Thank you to the team at Fayette County CTI for your commitment to education, workforce development and opportunity for everyone in @fayettecopa.
This week, @seneldervogel held a press conference with Feeding Pennsylvania to recognize September as Hunger Action Month. 🍎 Access to consistent, high-quality food is essential to not only individual, but community health. This month, we emphasize the importance of supporting local food banks and raising awareness about food insecurity across Pennsylvania.
Always a great time at the annual Farmers and Threshermens Jubilee in New Centerville! 🚂
