Today we dedicated a memorial highway in Sewickley Twp. honoring PFC Earl โButchโ Long โ a true patriot, hero & son of Westmoreland County.
Killed in action at just 20 during Vietnam, his bravery lives on through this tribute. ๐บ๐ธ
Thank you Rep. Davanzo & the Long family.

Honored to join local leaders, farmers & ag advocates at todayโs Agricultural Summit Breakfast at the Westmoreland Fair.
Agriculture is the backbone of Pennsylvania, and weโre working to ensure its strength for generations to come. ๐พ

Todayโs 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 Pennsylvaniaโs work ethic and determination. Our regionโs 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 โ because in Western Pennsylvania, we are forged in steel and we do not break.

Great minds think alike โ Leader Costa and I are both in beige today!
Must be Bipartisan Beige Day in the Senate chamber. ๐

When the work (and the walking) doesnโt stop, comfortable kicks just make sense.
Inspired by @repmcclintonโs 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.
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

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

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
