Opening day of the @pafarmshow is underway! It was a great day participating in the opening ceremony, talking with constituents and attending @congressman_gt ‘s, public listening session on Agriculture.
There is so much to see, do and eat! I hope to see you and your family here this week as the fun continues.
Today, I joined a bi-partisan group of federal and state officials who are committed to keeping good-paying jobs, like those at Dura-Bond Industries, here in the Capitol region.
I want to thank U.S. Department of Energy’s Under Secretary of Energy, Alex Fitzsimmons for making the trip to Steelton this morning and the administration’s commitment to skilled American labor.
The steel industry and companies like Dura-Bond are critical to our national security, affordable energy, and the economic prosperity of our community.

I was glad to join Cumberland County officials and members of our House delegation to formally announce a $200,000 grant that’s been secured for the county. The grant was funded by the Commonwealth’s Local Share Account, with revenue collected as part of Pennsylvania’s Gaming Act, and will be used toward the partial replacement of the main courthouse’s slate roof.
This important project protects and preserves our Cumberland County courthouse, while benefiting taxpayers, residents, and all who conduct business with our row offices and courts. I`m glad to work with the commissioners and collaborate with PA State Rep. Sheryl Delozier, PA State Rep. Barb Gleim, PA State Rep. Thomas Kutz, PA State Rep. Torren Ecker, Rep. Nate Davidson and Senator Dawn Keefer to help secure state funding.
It was an honor to serve the great people of the 34th District in 2025! Looking forward to the new year! #2025recap
Thanks to these wonderful @East Penn students for stopping by to visit this morning! I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with them about state government and our beautiful Capitol building. They asked some very thoughtful and well-informed questions. I hope everyone enjoyed the tour!
Excited to see Perry County`s America250PA Bell unveiled this week as part of the #BellsAcrossPa project!
Perry County`s bell, designed by artist Jessica Burkholder, is stunning! She`s given it the title "Pursuing Happiness" and says is represents what people love about Perry County. Stop by and check it out in person at the Perry County Economic Development Authority & Perry County Chamber of Commerce.
The Bells Across PA project highlights the role our commonwealth had on the nation`s founding and the role Pennsylvanians have on its past, present, and future. By the time we officially celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country`s founding next year, each of PA`s 67 counties is expected to have an original bell that features unique landmarks, nature, culture, and contributions to the commonwealth.

Today, we officially celebrated the @usmarinecorps 250th Birthday at the Pennsylvania State Capitol.
Enlisting in the Marine Corps was the best decision; becoming a Marine, the hardest; and serving, the most important thing I have done in my life.
Ronald Reagan once said, "Some people go through life wondering if they have a purpose. Marines don’t have that problem."
Happy 250th birthday — and here’s to another 250 years of fighting America’s enemies.
Thank you, @senatordevlinrobinson for hosting. Semper Fi! 🇺🇸
It was an honor to host the Carlisle Cannons at the Capitol today, in recognition of their history-making 2025 U.S. Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup victory! The Cannons are the Carlisle Family YMCA Youth Soccer program’s U18 girls team; they`re the first national champions from the program and its first National Presidents Cup qualifiers since 2014.
We couldn’t be more proud of their teamwork, their accomplishments, and the way they represented our area on the national stage. Congratulations again to all of the athletes, coaches, and families! @carlisleborough
What a tremendous honor it was to spend the morning with veterans, Gold Star Mothers, and military families from the district, during our Annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast. 🇺🇸 The camaraderie was incredible. Thanks to everyone who attended and all who helped to support the event through the donation of time and talent.
Welcome to @cumberlandcountypa, @costco!
I was glad to participate in this morning’s ribbon cutting. The excitement from our community was undeniable, as residents were lined up before 6:30 a.m. to be the first ones in.
Of course, @repkutz and I had to grab a legendary Kirkland hotdog for breakfast! 🌭
It was great to connect with Cumberland Valley School District
Winding Creek Elementary students, who were visiting the #PACapitol today! I hope they enjoyed our discussion and their tour. It`s been a busy day with lots to see and do.
Please join me in congratulating my constituents, 10-year-old Daon Kim and 8-year-old Sion Kim who each won silver medals at the 2025 U.S. National Taekwondo Championships!
They train at JK Taekwondo Academy Lemoyne PA and are working toward their goals of representing the U.S. on the National Team, competing on the world stage.
They`re pictured here with two other national medalists from JKTA who are constituents of Senator Dawn Keefer. We were glad to welcome them as our guests this week and recognize their achievements before the #PASenate. I can`t wait to see what the future holds for them!
