Thank you to everyone who joined our Senior Expo!
Hearing directly from seniors reminds me why thoughtful budgeting and community-focused policy matter.
Proud of the teamwork that makes events like this possible. 🫶🏻
Imagine saying: “I’ll win the lottery this year — so I’ll budget that money.”
🚫 You can’t build a budget on money that doesn’t exist.

From Pennsylvania to Ireland — let’s cheer on our Steelers! 🖤💛
Whether near or far, our support for the Black & Gold knows no borders.
HERE WE GO ☘️
When in Ireland… 🇮🇪
I had the privilege of attending a briefing at the Parliament House with members of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
It was also an honor to meet with my counterpart Senator Mark Daly, chairman of the Senate in the Republic of Ireland! We discussed our shared priorities and how to strengthen the transatlantic partnership.
🍎 Apple picking season is here!
Pennsylvania is the 4th-largest apple producer in the U.S., with 10+ million bushels expected this year.

🚍💰 Money sitting in the Public Transportation Trust Fund could be used to support mass transit RIGHT NOW. 👏
Today we dedicated a memorial highway in Sewickley Twp. honoring PFC Earl “Butch” Long — a true patriot, hero & son of Westmoreland County.
Killed in action at just 20 during Vietnam, his bravery lives on through this tribute. 🇺🇸
Thank you Rep. Davanzo & the Long family.
Honored to join local leaders, farmers & ag advocates at today’s Agricultural Summit Breakfast at the Westmoreland Fair.
Agriculture is the backbone of Pennsylvania, and we’re working to ensure its strength for generations to come. 🌾
Today’s tragic events have left our entire region shaken. My heart and prayers are with the families enduring unimaginable worry and grief. I am deeply grateful for the swift and selfless actions of first responders and rescue crews who continue working under stressful conditions.
For generations, U.S. Steel and the Clairton Coke Works plant have stood as symbols of Western Pennsylvania’s work ethic and determination. Our region’s story has been forged in the heat of steel mills by people who do not back down from challenges but instead stand shoulder-to-shoulder in hard times.
In the face of heartbreak, we will not waver — because in Western Pennsylvania, we are forged in steel and we do not break.
Great minds think alike — Leader Costa and I are both in beige today!
Must be Bipartisan Beige Day in the Senate chamber. 😄
When the work (and the walking) doesn’t stop, comfortable kicks just make sense.
Inspired by @repmcclinton’s signature style!

The Senate just passed Senate Bill 88 — a bipartisan, lifesaving bill Sen. Frank Farry and I sponsored to eliminate costs for diagnostic breast imaging. 🩷
🎗️ We’re closing the loop on early detection.
