It was an honor to host Brenda Tondi & Pam Shields, along with their husbands, at the state capitol to celebrate the life and legacy of their late father, former Sen. Noah Wenger. May we never forget his unyielding advocacy on behalf of the great people of Lancaster County.

Last month, I spoke with 4th grade students at @lititz_area_mennonite_school about my role as a state legislator and how a bill becomes a law. To explain the legislative process, I used the example of year-round school, which the students approved of!
I spoke with Tom Lehman from WGAL News last week about the decisive action by Pennsylvania voters to return a Republican majority to the PA Senate for the next two years.
Voters agreed that economic opportunity, better education, and safer communities were more compelling than an anti-Trump platform without substantive policy proposals.
Now let’s get to work for the people of Pennsylvania!
Eric Bair, former Marine and owner of Sports Barber in Ephrata, has helped with @toysfortotsofficial for 14 years by collecting bikes so that kids wouldn’t have to choose between toys or a bike. His first year he collected 7 bikes, but in 2023 he collected an impressive 318 bikes! All the bikes stay in Lancaster County and benefit our communities.
If you would like to help Eric with his collection, he is accepting cash donations and new 16-, 18-, and 20-inch bikes for boys and girls until Friday, Dec. 6.
Donations will be accepted at The Sports Barber, 50 E. Main St., Ephrata, Tuesdays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon.
It was a true honor to meet @usarmy Captain Alyssa Pennycuick, daughter of @senatorpennycuick and Rick Pennycuick, on the Senate floor last month. I’m always inspired by this new generation of military leaders!

It was kind of Jack to put my softball card in a protective holder. He is going to be very disappointed when he tries to sell.
Congratulations to Eastern Mennonite University upon the opening of their new Lancaster location at @_listrak in Lititz! EMU has been in Lancaster since 1989, but announced in February that the campus will relocate from its former site at the Greenfield Corporate Center to offer its students more convenient access to the Lancaster Airport.
I enjoyed speaking with 11th and 12th grade US government classes at Mount Calvary Christian School @mccs.chargers yesterday in Elizabethtown.
Dan Gotwalt & Kris Kauffman, owners of the Brossman Building in Ephrata which formerly housed The Main Theater, recently shared their plans with me to renovate the 3rd floor of the building to create Airbnbs with the hopes of bringing more tourism to Ephrata.
Referred to as ‘The Grand Lady of Main Street,’ the @ephratanationalbank building is rich with history, including stunning architecture and exhibits with mortgage paperwork, currency, bank history articles, and more. Ephrata National Bank has served the local and surrounding communities for 140 years.
