From Senator Hughes: It's been 17 years since PA raised the minimum wage. Every surrounding state has a higher minimum wage, with many already at $15 an hour. Don’t Pennsylvania workers deserve the same respect and value for their work?

Congrats to Philly School District students, teachers, and administrators on a wonderful school year, on your last day of school!

Looking back at our See Me, Imagine You career day that we brought to 16 schools across our Senate district in the spring. 200+ professionals helped us bring See Me, Imagine You to schools throughout the 7th district. The goal is to show students many different careers they can pursue and get them thinking about the future. We've held this career day annually. It's always an inspiring day for students AND mentors!
