It was my honor to join the Historical Society of East Pennsboro (HSEP) for a special recognition of James L. Leonard upon his retirement from the organization. Although Jim began as--and remains--a volunteer, he served 19 years as the HSEP`s Executive Director.
It was wonderful to hear about the impact Jim and his leadership have had on the organization and the community over the years. I was pleased to present him with a #PASenate citation celebrating his countless contributions to HSEP and I wish him the very best in his retirement!

@backpackyogurtllc is doing great things! This family business located in Monroe Twp, makes highly nutritious, shelf-stable yogurt from local fruit and dairy, without artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors. Their products are delicious and their business is impressive! I enjoyed touring their facilities and learning more about their operation today.

Appreciated the opportunity to join Rep. Joe Kerwin this morning, honoring all who have served our great nation. It was a pleasure to recognize, visit with, and thank our veterans for their commitment to defending our freedom.
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.
