My statement on the current discussions surrounding the Nippon/US Steel deal.
I stand with the workers, communities and businesses who have supported this from the beginning.
Letโs get this done.
๐ Act 1 was just the beginning.
With SB 88, weโre finishing what we started โ eliminating out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic breast cancer imaging so women can take action immediately after an abnormal screening.
Early detection saves lives!
On June 6, 1944, the Allies launched one of historyโs most important military operations.
As D-Day veterans grow fewer, itโs more vital than ever to honor their legacy.
We must never forget the 2,500+ Americans who gave everything for our freedom.
From bridges to battleships, Western PA steel built America. ๐โ
Weโre proud of our legacy and ready to lead the future.
Letโs keep investing in the people and places that keep America strong. ๐บ๐ธ

I enjoyed talking with them today!
Great to speak with leaders from the ACCD and Philadelphia Chamber to discuss where our priorities align. We must keep cutting the CNIT, support the USS/Nippon merger, unleash PAโs energy potential and modernize infrastructure. The best thing government can do is get out of your way. #pabudget
