Harrisburg, PA – Today, Governor Josh Shapiro took legal action to demand the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) use billions of dollars in available, Congressionally-appropriated contingency funding to pay Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November amid the ongoing federal government shutdown and ensure nearly two million Pennsylvanians receive the critical food assistance they need to feed themselves and their families. Governor Shapiro joined a coalition of 24 states in suing the Trump Administration for unlawfully suspending SNAP. The lawsuit argues that while normal appropriations for SNAP have lapsed because Republicans in Washington — who control both Congress and the White House – failed to pass a federal budget, alternative funds do exist and must be used to fund the program. In Pennsylvania last year, approximately 714,000 children and 697,000 seniors relied on SNAP every month. “For the first time since the program began in 1964, SNAP payments have been halted across the country because the Trump Administration has decided to use critical food assistance as a political bargaining chip,” said Governor Shapiro . “That is unacceptable, especially when the USDA has billions of dollars in Congressionally-appropriated contingency funding on hand to fund SNAP and ensure millions of people don’t go hungry. Republicans in Washington need to come to the table and reopen the Read more

HARRISBURG, Oct. 6 – To ensure all Pennsylvanians, especially patients, can be assured that artificial intelligence technology is being used in a beneficial manner, state Reps. Arvind Venkat, Joe Hogan, Tarik Khan, Bridget Kosierowski and Greg Scott have proposed bipartisan legislation that would regulate the application of AI in health care. AI is being rapidly implemented across the health care industry by insurers, hospitals and clinicians. It has been utilized for patient care, billing, research, claims management, utilization reviews, and assessments of cost-effectiveness. The legislation, H.B. 1925 , would provide new regulations for how AI is utilized and reported by insurers, hospitals and clinicians. These groups would need to provide transparency to patients and the public as to how AI is being used in their companies or practice settings. "As the only physician in the General Assembly, I have seen the rapid growth of AI usage in health care in real time,” said Venkat, D-Allegheny. “I am grateful for my bipartisan colleagues, including fellow health professionals, who are joining me on this legislation to make sure Pennsylvanians can be confident that AI is being used responsibly and effectively in the health care industry.” To prevent clinicians from overly relying on AI, the legislation would also ensure that a human decisionmaker would make the ultimate decision based on an Read more
Harrisburg, Oct. 3 – State Representative Greg Scott, D-Montgomery, today celebrated the adoption of a House resolution designating October 3 “Sharon L. Cullen Day” in Pennsylvania. The day honors the memory of a woman who had a significant impact on the Montgomery County community. Sharon L. Cullen was a longtime Montgomery County employee who also founded the Montgomery County Hero Fund, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting first responders and their families in times of crisis, following the loss of Plymouth Township Officer Brad Fox in 2012. Outside of the Hero Fund, Sharon organized fundraisers to support the families of firefighters who developed cancer and made herself available to anyone who needed guidance and support. She was a community leader, public servant and dedicated supporter of first responders throughout the county. Sharon died on July 29, 2025, at the age of 59. During her career with Montgomery County, she served in the DA’s Office, the County Commissioners’ Office and finally as the director of Parking Facilities and Fleet Management.? “I met Sharon Cullen the day I walked into the Montgomery County courthouse, as a judge, for the first time. I was 27 years old,” said Scott. “Something I was wearing kept setting off the magnetometers at security. I was young, nervous and unknown to many. Sharon walked through, looked back, grabbed Read more

HARRISBURG, Aug. 19 – In the wake of the June assassination of Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, state Rep. Greg Scott soon will introduce a package of bills designed to improve the safety and security of members of the General Assembly. The violent political attacks in Minnesota came on the heels of the arson of the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence and the attempted firebombing of Nanticoke’s Rep. Alec Ryncavage’s office earlier this year. “These incidents only underscore the fact that political violence is on the rise, including here in Pennsylvania,” said Scott, D-Montgomery. “Political violence has no place in our democracy, and it is paramount that state legislators are safe while serving the people of Pennsylvania.” According to a Brennan Center for Justice survey , 43% of state legislators reported experiencing threats and 38% reported the amount of abuse increased after they took office. Scott’s first bill, co-prime-sponsored by Reps. Roni Green, D-Phila., and Heather Boyd, D-Delaware, would exempt the home address of a Pennsylvania legislator from public access under the Right-to-Know Law, a protection that already exists for state judges. Scott said this not only would make it more difficult for someone to learn the location of where they are least protected, but also Read more
