It's 7/25 and the minimum wage in PA is still just $7.25!

It's been 16 years since we've increased our wage -- it's time for $15/hour now. I voted to Raise the Wage because I want to build a better economy where everyone can afford to participate.

Call these legislators to demand that they vote to Raise the Wage:

Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman - (724) 357-0151
Senate Appropriations Chair Scott Martin - (717) 397-1309

PA workers and their families deserve it.

Empowering Black Entrepreneurship

Proud to join the African American Chamber of Commerce on the first stop of the “State of the Chamber” tour. We gathered with business leaders and community members about how we can work together to empower Black entrepreneurship.

Make sure you’re registered to vote

I joined Philadelphia City Commissioner Omar Sabir to help people get registered to vote. Your vote is your voice – make sure your registered and that you update it if you move.

I was happy to join neighbors, friends and even my colleague Rep. Anthony Bellmon for a community resource fair. We had fun and gave our neighbors great resources.
