Yesterday I joined Center for Employment Opportunities - CEO for their “how to tie a tie” workshop. It was a powerful reminder that small skills can open big doors.

Supporting reentrants as they rebuild their lives matters. I was incredibly impressed by the leadership and the way every person was treated with dignity and value.

Watching staff encourage, uplift, and pour into each individual while teaching something as simple as tying a tie was something special.

ICE has explored proposals to bring so-called “cornerstone” facilities to Dauphin County. As a commissioner, I’ve sat with families and witnessed the real consequences of failing to uphold due process, human dignity, and civil rights. This is not something Dauphin County needs.

Today we proudly proclaimed it Donald H. Bucher Day in Dauphin County in honor of his 2026 American Association of Nurse Practitioners State Award for Outstanding Contributions for Pennsylvania. This recognition reflects more than a decade of clinical excellence, leadership, and advocacy that has strengthened health care across our Commonwealth.

We are grateful for Donald’s compassionate care for his patients and his commitment to expanding access to high-quality, equitable health care. Dauphin County is better because of his work, and we are proud to celebrate him in this way.
