Last weekend, the annual Heart to Hope Telethon raised over $60k for Connellsville Area Community Ministries. ☎️

The 8-hour broadcast was filled with musical performances, special guests, and even some furry friends. This event has become one of my favorite annual traditions and a reminder of the great things that we can accomplish when our community comes together. 

Congratulations to everyone who made this event a success!

Budget hearings continue today with PA Department of State and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

During last week's #PASenate budget hearing, I asked the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for clarification on Gov. Shapiro claims that there were no new taxes in his #PABudget address, yet #RGGI is a carbon tax.

Congratulations to Connor Harrity who received his Eagle Scout Court of Honor on Sunday in Friedens. For his project, he assisted the Friedens Lutheran Church food pantry. Great work Connor!

During the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection #PAsenate #PABudget hearing last week, I asked Interim Acting Secretary Jessica Shirley about the permitting process and why, despite the 15 approved positions dedicated to this process, we continue to see delays and challenges.

There is a running joke, and it’s not very funny, but they said that DEP stands for "Don’t Expect a Permit." I want to work with the department to change that perception and improve this process.
