Great news! I’m proud to have helped secure nearly $500,000 in funding to support the Olivet Boys & Girls Club. These resources will strengthen violence prevention outcomes for local youth and expand opportunities that provide structure and support.

It's concerning that fiscal conservatives want more government services but continue to vote against the funding to provide them. @pahousedems.com have delivered new revenue streams for the #PABudget, but the #PASenate ignores them. Make it make sense! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRqX...
