Rep. Joanna E. McClinton June 13, 2025
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father's Day to every dad, mentor, big brother, uncle, friend and father figure for inspiring our children and making a difference in the lives of our neighbors! Although my dad Papa McClinton is in heaven, I remember his hearty laugh, joyous personality and love for people.
This Week in Session!
We had a great week in Harrisburg welcoming our friends from the Czech Republic and officers from our neighborhood! This week my House colleagues and I passed important bills that will help our student athletes, survivors of child abuse, new moms and we voted to give hundreds of thousands of hard-working Pennsylvanians their first raise since 2009!
