This afternoon I attended a press conference held by Lehigh Valley 250, where we announced $1 million in funding to assist Lehigh Valley 250 in promoting and organizing the events for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. I was able to help secure, along with my fellow Lehigh Valley House Democratic members, $500,000 in funding from the House Democratic Caucus as part of that $1 million total. Lehigh Valley 250 will feature numerous events for everyone to enjoy, including our annual Easton Heritage Day, where we commemorate the public reading of the Declaration of Independence here in Centre Square on Jul 8th, 1776. As I mentioned during my remarks, I encourage our fellow citizens to read the Declaration of Independence to gain a deeper understanding of its meaning and significance, and make sure to check out the many Lehigh Valley 250 events celebrating this occasion.

Yesterday morning I joined with many in the community for the 127th Easton Memorial Day Parade, where I was honored to march with our veterans, local officials, marching bands, and several other organizations in the parade through Easton. At the end of the parade, there was a ceremony at the Northampton Street Bridge where the Mayors of Easton and Phillipsburg tossed flowers and a Memorial Wreath into the waters of the Delaware River. Following the bridge ceremony, there was another ceremony at Riverside Park that included the Roll Call of Deceased, Rendering of Honors, and Taps. Thank you to the Veterans Memorial Day Council of Easton Area for putting together this solemn ceremony, and may we never forget those who lost their lives in service of our country.

On Saturday I attended Hellertown-Lower Saucon Heritage Day, with the event taking place at both the Heller-Wagner Grist Mill and the Michael Heller Homestead. It was a great day to learn more about Saucon Valley’s history, and the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Heritage Group put together a great day with living history exhibits, historical presentations, activities for the children, and more. I had the opportunity to make some remarks at the event, and I touched on how important it is to have community events like this that touch on the foundation of the rich history and heritage of Hellertown and Lower Saucon. Let us never forget that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before- who shaped our world as they formed the world in which they lived. Thanks again to the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Heritage Group for putting together a wonderful and educational day.

In Harrisburg last week I had the pleasure of catching up with my friend and former state House colleague, Congressman Brendan Boyle, who was visiting Harrisburg for a series of meetings with legislators. It was great to catch up with Congressman Boyle and talk about some of the work we are doing on both the state and federal levels to tackle the issues facing Pennsylvanians!

This morning I joined the Easton Area High School community in honoring Scott Ransom as the 2026 Easton Area High School Day Honoree! Scott is a lifelong Red Rover who has spent countless years giving back to his community. A member of the EAHS Class of 1985, Scott was an accomplished multi-sport athlete, competing in football, basketball, and baseball. After college Scott came back home to Easton and ever since he has been coaching our youth at all levels. From coaching the Lil Rovers program to coaching on the Easton JV and Varsity staffs, Scott has been a valuable mentor to the players. Along with Representatives Joe Emrick and Ann Flood, I was happy to present a citation from the PA House of Representatives to Scott, recognizing and congratulating him for all his years of coaching and volunteering for our community and serving as a great role model!
