I led a #CalltoVote event yesterday alongside local officials and state colleagues at the county courthouse. I cannot overstate how essential voting is to the democratic fiber of our country, and I'm committed to doing all I can to keep elections free and fair.

My House Democratic colleagues and I met with Allegheny County officials to discuss the importance of incarcerated individuals being able to vote. The right to vote is a beacon of hope, reminding us that every voice matters and that redemption and civic duty are intertwined.

Excited to pass my HB 2378 from the Aging & Older Adult Services Committee today. This bill would allow Pennsylvanians 65+ to exclude the principal & interest accrued from the savings bonds in the eligibility for our PACE & PACENET prescription drug programs #seniors #policy

Our job as legislators is to make sure our children have a quality education that is accessible to all students. That's why I voted yes on fairly funding all of our public schools, because it's our duty to our children. youtu.be/ZUEKt147LkQ

I've always wondered what it was like for K. Leroy Irvis to become the first Black Speaker of any state House in the US. I was honored to speak at an event today to kick off the @PALegBlkCaucus Speaker K. Leroy Irvis Legislative Days of Action. youtu.be/_Rffe6phC6k

Our office’s first Toy Giveaway was a huge success. We were able to gift toys & coats to 3rd & 4th graders at MLK school @PPSnews . Thanks to my staff, volunteers, everyone that dropped off a toy, teachers & staff at MLK, @PghFireFighters for donating extra coats #happyholidays

Great time at last nights joint town hall in the Hill District with my colleague @RepMayes . Thank you to the @ThelmaLovetteY for the hospitality and to residents for coming to learn about what we’re doing for them and the community.

This bill is about voting rights. This bill is about criminal justice reform. H.B. 1756 is about removing barriers to the ballot box for incarcerated individuals. I'm so proud to support this legislation as we continue to expand our democracy. youtu.be/R8Bdzj3hivY
