Truly grateful for having served under the leadership of Senate President Karen E. Spilka 🙏

Today it was with great admiration and some sadness that I took the Senate floor to bid farewell to State Senator Susan Moran. Senator Moran brings her all to the job each day and during her time as Senator, has made such a profound impact on her district and our Commonwealth. Her advocacy, good humor, and of course, incredible style will be truly missed and I’m forever grateful for her service.
