Thank you for coming to the Capitol to advocate for critically important funding for childcare!

Thanks Rep. Jessica Benham for meeting with early care and education professionals today to discuss their desire for increased investments that support early educators like approving the proposed $10MIL increase for the Child Care Staff Recruitment and Retention Program in this year's budget!

Today, I joined homecare workers to celebrate an increase to their wages that we achieved in last year’s budget, recognizing the critical work they do caring for older adults and allowing them to age with dignity in their own homes. We have more to do to ensure that this workforce can grow to meet the needs of Pennsylvania’s aging population, and I hope for continued investment to increase recruitment and retention. When we invest in care, our communities benefit!

Happy Pride, Pittsburgh! As co-chair of the PA legislature’s Equality Caucus, I know how real the fight is to protect our fundamental freedoms. But I also know how powerful our joy is, and the joy we shared today will continue to propel our movement forward 🏳️‍🌈
