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

@potus Trump understood what Western PA families know: steel built this country and it should stay American-made. ๐บ๐ธ
Thank you @realdonaldtrump for fighting for our workers and keeping steel production right here in PA! ๐จ๐ญ

THANK YOU @potus for putting America โ and Pennsylvania โ first! ๐บ๐ธ

My full statement on President Trumpโs approval of Nippon/U.S. Steel investment.

Got to see the @Eaglesโ Lombardi trophies on the Senate floor today โ very impressive!
But donโt worry, I joined my fellow yinzer senators to remind everyone the @steelers still hold the record with SIX Super Bowl wins! ๐ค๐

I was honored to welcome students from Hempfield Area High Schoolโs Project 18 to the PA Senate! ๐๐ป
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! ๐๐ค

Right here in PA! ๐๐
May is National Beef Month and Westmorelandโs own Logan Family Farms was in Harrisburg yesterday cooking up burgers to celebrate. ๐ They even let me flip some!
Support your local farmers!

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, thereโs no excuse to delay.
Schedule your mammogram.
For you.
For your family. ๐ฉท

๐ 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.
๐๐ณ๐๐ป
Congrats to these incredible champions & their coaches! ๐

โจPennsylvaniaโs future is bright with the talented leaders from the Leadership Pittsburgh XLI cohort.
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

๐ May is Mammography Month in Pennsylvania!
@pabreastcancer and I are teaming up to remind women: ๐๐๐ง๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐จ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐จ.

I was honored to help cut the ribbon on the new Robert Barensfeld Center at Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village โ a place thatโs been part of my life since childhood. Thanks to $2 million in state funding, Meadowcroft is now even better equipped to welcome students, families and history lovers from across PA!

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed Easter filled with hope, renewal and the promise of new beginnings.

Yesterday I joined Rep. Kincaid at the Mid-Atlantic Mothersโ Milk Bank in Pittsburgh to learn about their life-saving work distributing donor milk to babies across Pennsylvania! ๐ผ
Thank you for the informative tour and your amazing efforts in our community! โค๏ธ

I was on my way home from picking up some cute little chicks yesterday and pulled up to my road only to see it was closed. Wind knocked down lines all over the place. Stranded with 6 little chickees that needed their heat lamp, food and water. ๏ฟผI drove to the office where the awesome team serving the 39th Senatorial District were ready and waiting to improvise in order to set up a temporary home for the chicks. So Iโm naming each chick after each of them - Dottie, Gina, Joann, Lois, Rachel and one will remain nameless. ๐๐ฅ๐ฃ
