House Bill 911 would provide dependents of fallen police officers with continuous health benefits, financial stability and peace of mind during unsettling times. That's why I voted in favor of this important bill during Wednesday's Local Government Committee meeting.
Local control should be center stage.

What’s going on in Harrisburg? Instead of focusing on the state budget, the House continues to spend valuable time on resolutions naming commemorative days, even ones that aren’t tied to our country.

On June 8, House Democrats passed a bill that would raid $30 million from the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program (PTRR). PTRR helps over 500,000 Pennsylvanians each year. I could not vote for legislation that would rob you of the only relief you might receive to offset your property tax burden.
As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to honor the bravery, sacrifice, and legacy of those who served, like York County’s own Private Myles Albert Ness. His story reminds us of the significance of this important day.
On March 29, Red Lion High School chorus performed at the state Capitol. Their visit was part of Music in Our Schools Month, a nationwide initiative to promote the value of music education. I was so impressed by these students, who shared their incredible talents in Harrisburg.
I had a great time volunteering to serve the famous Farm Show milkshakes with the PA Dairymen’s Association.
On Nov. 15, we gathered to dedicate the Kreutz Creek bridge in Windsor Township to Pvt. Myles Albert Ness, a World War I veteran and York County native. This bridge will forever serve as a reminder of Ness and his service to our country.
In this special interview, I spoke to Ron Cohen, Master Chief, U.S. Navy, Ret. Ron's passion for our country, Armed Forces and patriotic music is clear. I hope hearing his story inspires gratitude for veterans and pride in our country.
