Recapping the Week in Harrisburg

PA House Democrats continued working this week to pass bills to keep you and your family healthy and safe, including legislation to strengthen penalties for retailers who sell vaping products to children, regulate dangerous synthetic kratom products and help support women going through menopause.

I was also honored to participate in the Capitol’s annual breast cancer awareness rally in front of the fountain, which was dyed pink for the occasion. I support women everywhere who are in the fight against breast cancer and want to remind everyone of the importance of getting regular mammograms. Early detection saves lives.
