This week, I #RockedtheRibbon for my mom who is a breast cancer survivor in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection is important and is proven to be lifesaving for so many who receive a breast cancer diagnosis.
✅ Lower energy costs.
✅ More jobs.
✅ A balanced budget without raising taxes.
This week, the Senate delivered on key priorities for Pennsylvania families and businesses:
🔹 The Senate voted again to repeal the RGGI electricity tax, which has caused electricity prices to go up for PA families and businesses. This strong, bipartisan vote sends a clear message: It’s time for PA to get out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
🔹 Employers looking to create PA jobs would get clear timelines for state agencies to review permit applications, greater transparency and fewer delays under a sweeping reform measure passed by the Senate with bipartisan support.
🔹 A state budget that fully funds essential services without raising taxes is possible if Harrisburg shows fiscal restraint. We have sent the House of Representatives a budget bill to do that.
With these measures, we’re working to make Pennsylvania more affordable, competitive, and accountable. These bills now head to the House of Representatives for further consideration.
Today the PA Senate joined the @pabreastcancer Rock the Ribbon campaign to bring awareness to such an important cause. Every 2 minutes, a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. But when caught early and localized, the 5-year survival rate is 99%. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage everyone to take action. Please: Learn your family history. Understand your lifestyle risks. Schedule your screenings.

Thank you to Aqua Pennsylvania, an Essential Utilities company, who donated a combined $1.25 million to the Beaver Falls Fire Department and the Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls. This funding allows these facilities to invest in our community`s future and bolster the critical resources available to our residents. Thank you to Aqua for making it possible for the Beaver Falls Fire Department to acquire a new fire truck and for the Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls to make needed infrastructure updates. I am eager to see the success this will bring them moving forward.
