Governor Josh Shapiro laid out his 2025-26 state budget proposal before a joint session of the House and Senate last week. His plan presents a clear vision for Pennsylvania’s future, continuing the progress made in recent years including fair funding for schools, cutting costs for working families, and supporting economic growth while strengthening our communities.

I joined my colleagues in the House to observe National Wear Red Day, which took place on Friday, February 7. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women, claiming the lives of 1 in 3 women. Fortunately, most strokes can be prevented through diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes. National Wear Red Day aims to raise awareness about women's heart health to help save lives.

Presidents’ Day is Monday, February 17. It’s a time to reflect on the leaders who shaped our nation. My office will be closed that day in observance of the holiday. We will be open on Tuesday, February 18 to help you with any state-related services. Enjoy the holiday!
