I was proud to once again cut taxes for working families as part of this year’s budget. Right here in Delaware County, we have just under 40,000 Working Pennsylvanian Tax Credit recipients. That could mean up to $800 back in their pocket at tax time!

If you qualify for the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit, you automatically qualify for this state tax cut. It’s that simple!

I’m so proud of the work we’ve done to make sure hard-working families have more money in their pockets and I will keep fighting to cut costs for you.

This week, I was delighted to host students from the Teen And Police Service Academy alongside my colleague, Rep. Gina H. Curry.

This program is hosted by the Upper Darby Police Department for high school students with the goal of improving relations between our youth and local law enforcement. As part of the program, students learn public safety, first aid, life skills, and they’re able to serve the community.

I love hosting these kids and officers at the Capitol and touting this incredible program. It’s always great to bring a slice of home to Harrisburg!

The latest scam targeting veterans’ benefits is more sophisticated than many other tactics. It involves a direct-mail postcard claiming to offer eligible veterans an additional $160 per month through something called the “PA Veteran Savings Program 2025.”  

This fake program does not actually exist. The postcard appears official at first glance, using formal language and referencing real programs such as CHAMPVA and TRICARE for Life.

It urges you to call within five days to “help manage call volume,” a tactic often used to pressure older folks into responding quickly.

If you or your veteran family member are solicited by a suspected scammer, please contact the PA Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) at 800-547-2838. Accredited Veteran Service Officers are available at no cost to provide guidance, confirm legitimacy, and help protect veterans from scams that threaten their financial well-being.

On Monday, the House approved a resolution put forth by my colleague and friend Rep. Gina H. Curry designating Nov. 5 as “Guru Nanak Day.” Guru Nanak was the founder of Sikhism and it’s first Guru. He was a transformative reformer who rejected the caste system and affirmed the equal dignity of all people, regardless of their religion or gender.

I was delighted to meet members of the Sikh community to celebrate the resolution’s adoption!
