Proud to introduce the EP Robotics Team to my Senate colleagues today!
This impressive group participates in the FIRST program (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). The program is recognized globally and challenges students to design, build, and program robots while developing engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
In their first year of competition, EP Robotics advanced to the 2026 Mid-Atlantic District Championship and finished ranked among the top third of robotics teams worldwide. Congratulations to all!
Today is Pennsylvania Career Awareness Day at the #PACapitol. I was glad to join local students and school administrators for an event promoting career planning and development.
Career and technical education not only prepares students for a wide variety of high paying, in‑demand jobs, it can help to keep our young people and skilled workers here, making meaningful contributions to our communities and our economy.
The students I met with were impressive, focused, and excited about the opportunities ahead of them!
Honored to recognize the back-to-back State Champion @cvsdathletics Girls 4x400 relay team at the #PACapitol today! Their impressive time of 3 minutes, 48.88 seconds earned well-deserved team gold at the 2026 PIAA Track and Field Championships. 🥇
Please join me in congratulating Vanessa, Sophie, Coach Hockenbery, and the entire Cumberland Valley relay team on this outstanding accomplishment!
Glad to see such a great turnout for “Pink Out in the Park” this morning—walking and running for a cure! Thanks to everyone involved in organizing this meaningful event to benefit @pabreastcancer! It was an honor to participate.
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!
Great to see scouts snd leaders from the New Birth of Freedom, Troop 91 (Liverpool, Perry County) in the PA Capitol!
