Proud to stand with our law enforcement community at the Capitol. Sheriffs from across the Commonwealth came together to advocate for public safety and the needs of the communities they serve.

As a former sheriff, it was especially meaningful to reconnect with so many dedicated men and women who have answered the call to serve. It was great to see sheriffs from across Pennsylvania working together to support their communities and strengthen public safety.

Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and commitment to keeping Pennsylvania safe. 💙🚔

I was proud to support the unanimous passage of Alicia’s Law, legislation that strengthens efforts to protect children from online predators.

Named for survivor and advocate Alicia Kozak, the bill would provide funding and resources to help law enforcement investigate and prosecute internet crimes against children.

House Bill 1098 now moves to the Senate for consideration.

What a great evening at the Berks County Farm Bureau’s Field to Table event! 🚜🌾

Jess and I enjoyed connecting with local farmers, FFA members, and neighbors while celebrating the hardworking men and women who keep Berks County agriculture thriving. From the delicious local food to the beautiful sunset, it was a wonderful reminder of the strength and importance of our farming community.

Thank you to the Berks County Farm Bureau for hosting such a fantastic event and for all you do to support Pennsylvania agriculture! 🇺🇸❤️

With hundreds of thousands expected in Philadelphia for FIFA World Cup festivities, the Pennsylvania State Police is urging fans to stay alert for scams and theft.

⚠️ Tips to stay safe:
• Buy tickets only from verified sellers
• Avoid “too good to be true” travel deals
• Don’t click suspicious links or scan unknown QR codes
• Use caution at ATMs and payment terminals. Avoid machines that appear tampered with or suspicious.

Stay aware and enjoy the events safely.

Had the incredible opportunity to do a ride-along with the Pennsylvania Game Commission! 🌲🦌

From managing over 1.5 million acres of State Game Lands to protecting our wildlife, these wardens do it all. It takes a unique mix of law enforcement and wildlife biology to protect our outdoor heritage every single day.

This is what government working for you actually looks like. Huge thanks to the PAGC for keeping our communities and wild places safe! 🙌
