Learning to read is the foundation for success in school, the workforce, and life. That's why I was proud to join the Pennsylvania Literacy Coalition to discuss the importance of implementing Act 47, which will bring evidence-based reading instruction, educator training, and universal K-3 literacy screening to schools across the Commonwealth.

Passing the law was an important first step, but successful implementation is what will make a difference for Pennsylvania students. By investing in literacy, we are investing in our children, our communities, and our future.

Rest in peace, Officer Yeager. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸💙

I had a great time touring the Boyertown Community Library and meeting some of their wonderful bear mascots along the way! 🐻📚

Libraries play such an important role in our communities by providing educational resources, programs, and welcoming spaces for residents of all ages.

With summer approaching, energy use is expected to rise as customers begin running air conditioning more often.

PECO has been preparing for increased demand by strengthening infrastructure, testing systems, and improving grid resilience ahead of summer storms to help ensure safe and reliable service.

Beginning June 1, supply charges for electric and natural gas will increase, which may impact customer bills. Supply costs make up about half of a typical bill and can be purchased through a competitive supplier or passed through at PECO’s cost for those not enrolled with one.

Customers can learn more about their bill, usage, and assistance programs at peco.com/Summer.

Today, I announced a legislative package to protect local communities as large data center development expands across Pennsylvania.

My proposal would strengthen transparency, preserve local control, protect water and energy resources, and ensure residents have a voice before major projects move forward.

Data centers play an important role in our modern economy, but communities deserve responsible development that puts residents first.
