Thanks to the Pennsylvania Auditor General, Tim DeFoor and his team for providing valuable information to our volunteer fire relief associations! I was glad to welcome them, Pennsylvania Office of the State Fire Commissioner, and representatives from relief associations across the district to Hampden Township Volunteer FD last night.

It was an honor to be with friends today at the West Shore-Harrisburg Elks Lodge 9/11 event. We gathered to remember the lives lost and to honor the heroes who answered the call to serve our nation after unimaginable tragedy.

Col. Paul Abel, U.S. Army (Ret.), who was at the Pentagon on 9/11, delivered a powerful keynote address.

May we #NeverForget! 🇺🇸 ...

Thank you, New Bloomfield Elementary, for giving me the opportunity to visit with your fifth graders today. They were bright, engaging and impressive!

I appreciated the chance to share with them about my job as their state Senator and how the work I do impacts students like them.

Thank you, also, to the administrators, teachers, and board members who took the time to talk with me about the current needs of the district. The work they do is so important! These kids are our future. ...

Congratulations to @goodwillkeystonearea on the grand opening of its new Carlisle store and donation center!

Beyond offering affordable finds, every purchase at the new location will support #jobtraining and employment services in our community.

Goodwill has a long legacy of helping people facing barriers to employment build skills, secure jobs, and grow their careers, and that work truly matters.

A job is more than just a paycheck. It’s a chance to grow, contribute, and find purpose.

Kudos to the entire Carlisle store team on an exciting and successful opening! ...

@co40ems, through its EMS academy, is doing remarkable work preparing the next generation of emergency medical professionals. The need is real: since 2012, Pennsylvania has seen a loss of more than 6,000 EMTs and 4,000 paramedics.

But today brings good news and real momentum in solving this crisis. Carlisle EMS Academy has officially launched Rescue Ready, a workforce development program that I was proud to support with state funding.

Rescue Ready will strengthen emergency care in our community and help address the ongoing EMS staffing shortage for years to come. Through Rescue Ready, at least ten current providers will advance their training, and fifteen new community members will earn their EMT certification at NO COST.
