What a great day!! ❤️
Today I spent the day in Harrisburg advocating for House Bill 2826 alongside fellow mayors Mayor Adam Alberico for Spring City (also a volunteer firefighter!), Mayor of Trappe Heather Blumenthal, and Mayor Samantha Kaag of West Reading (also a firefighter!).
HB 2826 would provide firefighters across the Commonwealth with free cancer screenings every three years. I’m thrilled to share that it passed the House by a vote of 212–1!! 🎉
Thank you to all the House members who voted in support, and a special thank you to Rep. Joe Ciresi for sponsoring this important legislation!
Of course, while I was in Harrisburg, I also had to show some love and support for our wonderful Rep. Gina H. Curry! ❤️ She was advocating for Marnie’s Law, which would provide for screening for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) when one dose of antibiotics is ineffective, and celebrating the 3rd birthday of the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus.
So much important work happening!
I’m exhausted, but my heart is full. ❤️ What a meaningful and productive day!
