1 in 4 students can’t afford period products, and 23% miss class because they don’t have what they need.

That's why I have been fighting so hard to pass the PA Menstrual Equity Act, and why I was proud to work with the Shapiro Administration to fund period products in public schools for the past two years. I'm pleased that the Governor’s 2026–27 budget proposes another $3M to renew this critical program to keep our students healthy and learning.

It was an honor to attend the Out of the Darkness walk at Lower Moreland Township High School in support of the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention Philadelphia Chapter and local families who have lost loved ones to su***de.

The opening ceremony was incredibly moving, featuring student musicians, poetry and personal stories. We're fortunate to live in a community that shows up for each other and stands up for mental health awareness. 💚

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or need support, call or text 9-8-8.

When temperatures drop below freezing, local volunteers at our Code Blue shelters work through the night to keep our neighbors safe and warm.

In April, I was honored to recognize the amazing Code Blue Shelter - Lansdale, PA volunteers for their efforts during the 2025-2026 winter season. Special thanks to Code Blue leaders, Mark Lanan and Leslie Johnson for their tireless commitment to serving our community.

As we celebrate , it’s important to confront the challenges we face on the job.

We know that short staffing is the single biggest driver of nurse burnout and turnover. My legislation, the Patient Safety Act, would establish safe nurse-to-patient ratios, creating a safer working environment and better outcomes.

Pennsylvania nurses - and patients - deserve better. Let's get this done.
