Rep. Joanna E. McClinton January 31, 2025
We are BACK at the Capitol for 2025-26 session! This week I was proud to join Lt. Gov Austin Davis and the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to discuss a $2.5 million grant to establish a new statewide tracking system for sexual assault kits to increase transparency for survivors of sexual violence. I had the opportunity to meet with some of our new members and our spring fellows! The Pennsylvania Women’s Health and Black Maternal Health Caucuses kicked off session and will continue to rack up the wins for women! Regardless of what happens in D.C the Pennsylvania house Democrats are devoted to protecting women’s health and bodily autonomy and constantly striving for better jobs, better schools and better communities!
