Senator Rothman

Waggoner`s Gap Hawk Watch, one of Pennsylvania`s premier sites for observing raptor migration, now has expanded access, enhanced trails, educational signage, native pollinators, and improved migration monitoring conditions. I was glad to join the @pagamecomm at Waggoner`s Gap on State Game Lands 230 for the ribbon cutting. ...

It’s always an honor to spend time with our volunteer firefighters. I appreciated the invitation to see @landisburgvolfireco`s new roof simulator, which will allow them to train safely and secure national FF1 certification, as well as the station’s new back-up generator. I was glad to help secure grant funding for this new equipment and am always working to support their efforts. We are fortunate to have such dedicated, skilled firefighters responding in times of need. ...

The Perry County Area Agency on Aging Fall Festival was so much fun! I enjoyed the opportunity to join seniors from across Perry County, visit with friends and see everyone enjoying a few rounds of bingo. Thanks to the PCAAA for bringing our community together on this beautiful day! ...

What a night! Glad to make it to the CV homecoming tailgate festivities at Search Dental and to @halifaxwildcats for their homecoming game with @newport_nation! 🏈

It was great to catch up with longtime friends in both places. I was honored to help with the coin toss, meet the homecoming court and spend the evening with truly wonderful people. ...

The @pabreastcancer turned the Capitol fountain pink this week to honor survivors, promote awareness and encourage early detection. The fountain will remain pink throughout October as a tribute to those affected by breast cancer in Pennsylvania.

I had the pleasure of hosting future leaders from across the 34th district at the Capitol this week, for an immersive experience, learning about and participating in the legislative process.

High school students from across Cumberland, Northern Dauphin, and Perry counties were selected by their schools to be ‘Senators for a Day.’ They participated in mock legislative sessions, served on committees to discuss bills, take positions, and draft legislation for the full Senate to consider. Later, they met in full session to debate and vote on legislation drafted by the committees.

Thanks to ALL of the participating schools for sending such outstanding students! I heard a lot of thoughtful discussions, great perspectives and effective negotiations throughout the day. I hope everyone enjoyed the experience. ...

It’s been an incredible weekend filled with school spirit, great football, “pink out” and homecoming festivities. Thanks to @shs_blackhawks_football, @CampHill, @buffalo_barstool, and @shippensburgu! ...

I had the pleasure of hosting Cumberland County`s own @ms_wheelchair_america Jamie Clendening and her family at the #PACapitol today. I was incredibly proud to share her many accomplishments with my Senate colleagues and explain the impact she`s making across the commonwealth and beyond.

After being crowned Ms. Wheelchair Pennsylvania, Jamie earned the national title based on her advocacy, leadership and achievements. In her new role, she serves as a national spokeswoman and is focused on improving healthcare access.

Jamie is nothing short of an inspiration. She`s always working to educate the public and empower those with disabilities. She`s a regional champion advocate and peer mentor for the Christopher & Dana @reevefoundation and founded "I Can and I Wheel," an online resource and support community.

Please join me in congratulating Jamie! ...
