Moving Pennsylvania Forward

A safer, smoother commute for you.

I’m proud to say I voted to fund transit in every county, improve accountability, and invest hundreds of millions of new funding into fixing roads and bridges all over the commonwealth.

Transit keeps our economy moving – it’s how workers get to the job, students get to class, and seniors get to the store and the doctor. Beyond that, transit keeps hundreds of thousands of cars off the road and supports jobs across the commonwealth. Transit and road construction jobs pay family-sustaining wages. They can’t be outsourced, and those jobs end up creating more jobs as companies move and expand based on strong, reliable infrastructure.

Now, the state Senate must finally do its job.

Please call your senator today and urge them to return to work.

National Night Out Events in the District

Megan and Laura attended the Abington Pre-Night Out event last Monday in Abington Township. National Night Out is designed to celebrate and strengthen the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement. There was a huge turnout and we had several people stop by the table to chat and pick up information on programs and events.

Sue and Laura also staffed our table at the Hatboro National Night Out, which was held on Friday at Miller Meadow in Hatboro.  There were police demonstrations, food, activities for kids, music, and a mini-golf putting course – plenty of fun for everyone. We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces - thanks for stopping by the table to say hello!

Hedwig House Donation Drive Success

Our donation drive to support Hedwig House was a great success! We had several bags of non-perishable food and toiletry items dropped to the office which were picked up by staff and residents from Hedwig House. They were extremely thankful for the generosity of the community and will put all the items to good use.

A big thank you to those who donated!

 

Fall Shredding Event

Join us for our free shredding event—a fantastic opportunity to protect your personal information while making a positive impact on your community!

Safely dispose of old documents and keep your sensitive information out of the wrong hands. Paper shredding is a powerful deterrent to identity theft, making it nearly impossible for thieves to reconstruct private details. Plus, shredding supports paper recycling, helping to reduce waste in landfills! 

And here’s another way to give back—bring non-perishable food items for donation and support local food banks while you’re there. 

We’re thrilled to offer this service once again for our constituents. Protect your identity, reduce waste, and help your community—all in one event!
