Had a great time at the Hookstown Fair this week! 🎡🐄
It’s always great to get out, catch up with friends and neighbors, and celebrate the hard work of our local farmers and families who makes the fair such a special tradition.
A big congratulations to Sadie Johnson on being crowned the 2026 Hookstown Fair Queen! I wish Sadie and all of this year’s fair participants the very best.
Thanks to everyone who helped make another Hookstown Fair a great one!
🍎 Help us fight hunger this September!
September is Hunger Action Month, and I’m once again holding a food drive throughout the month to help support local families in need.
From Sept. 1–30, my district offices will be collecting unexpired, non-perishable food items. At the end of the month, all donations will be given to a local food bank.
📍 Rochester Office
488 Adams St., Rochester
📍 Cranberry Township Office
8001 Rowan Road, Suite 205, Cranberry Township
Every donation can make a difference for a neighbor who may be struggling to put food on the table. I’m always heartened by the generosity of residents across the 47th Senate District, and I hope you’ll consider helping us fill our food bins again this year.
Thank you for helping us support our neighbors and keep our local food banks stocked! ❤️
Had a great time at the Pirates Charities Miracle League Fantasy Camp at Graham Park in Cranberry Township! ⚾️
It was great to spend time with the athletes, families, coaches and volunteers and see firsthand the impact the Miracle League has on our community.
Cranberry was Pirates Charities’ first Miracle League partnership, and it’s incredible to see how that partnership has grown over the years. Thank you to everyone who continues to make these opportunities possible and ensure that athletes of all abilities have the chance to play ball and be part of the game!
Agriculture is always evolving, and supporting innovation is critical to keeping Pennsylvania’s farms and agricultural communities strong.
I’m proud to announce two Agriculture Innovation Grants awarded in the 47th Senate District:
Tiny Seed Farm in Rochester will receive $31,690 for an automated specialty crop system.
Dream, Invent, Inspire in Evans City will receive $5,247 to help implement an AI system for vertical garden and crop management.
These investments will help bring new technology to our agricultural industry, improve efficiency and productivity, and give our farmers and ag businesses the tools they need to compete and succeed.
Pennsylvania agriculture is a major part of our economy, supporting nearly 600,000 jobs and more than 48,800 farms. I’ll continue working to support innovation and strengthen agriculture across our Commonwealth.

Had a great week at Ag Progress Days! 🌾
It was great to spend time with farmers, agricultural leaders, exhibitors, and families from across Pennsylvania to talk about the future of agriculture and the issues that matter most to our rural communities.
I’m proud to support Pennsylvania agriculture and will continue working to make sure our farmers have the tools and resources they need to succeed.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and made this year’s Ag Progress Days a great one! 🚜🐄
