When the work (and the walking) doesnโ€™t stop, comfortable kicks just make sense.

Inspired by @repmcclintonโ€™s signature style!

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.

Letโ€™s get this done.
๐Ÿ’— Act 1 was just the beginning.

With SB 88, weโ€™re 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 historyโ€™s most important military operations.

As D-Day veterans grow fewer, itโ€™s 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. ๐ŸŒ‰โš“

Weโ€™re proud of our legacy and ready to lead the future.

Letโ€™s keep investing in the people and places that keep America strong. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

THANK YOU @potus for putting America โ€” and Pennsylvania โ€” first! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

My full statement on President Trumpโ€™s approval of Nippon/U.S. Steel investment.
Got to see the @Eaglesโ€™ Lombardi trophies on the Senate floor today โ€” very impressive!

But donโ€™t worry, I joined my fellow yinzer senators to remind everyone the @steelers still hold the record with SIX Super Bowl wins! ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’›

I was honored to welcome students from Hempfield Area High Schoolโ€™s Project 18 to the PA Senate! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

For 50+ years, this one-of-a-kind civics program has empowered young leaders in Westmoreland County โ€” including my own chief of staff!

GO SPARTANS! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค
Yesterday we recognized Mammography May in the Senate โ€” because 1 in 8 women will face breast cancer and early detection saves lives.

With bipartisan support and Act 1 in place, thereโ€™s no excuse to delay.

Schedule your mammogram.

For you.

For your family. ๐Ÿฉท
๐ŸŽ‰ Westmoreland County showed up STRONG in the Senate today!

I was proud to recognize 90+ student-athletes from 5 championship teams โ€” including volleyball, bowling & swimming โ€” for their PIAA State titles.

Congrats to these incredible champions & their coaches! ๐Ÿ†
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 PAโ€™s energy potential and modernize infrastructure. The best thing government can do is get out of your way. #pabudget
