Happy National Daughters Day to our sweet June!

Happy National Daughters Day to our sweet June!

I appreciated the opportunity to speak at the Pitt

I appreciated the opportunity to speak at the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce #FirstFridaySeries earlier this morning. I shared a few thoughts on steps I believe we must take to build a stronger, more economically competitive Pennsylvania.

We must reduce our uncompetitive CNI rate, reform our K-12 education system, address the college debt crisis by adopting an ISA Program for PA Students, and pursue student & program-centered higher education funding reform.

We must do more to retain and compete for new businesses and industry, and the jobs they create. We must also take the steps needed to retain and recruit the talent need to fill those jobs.

Last week I had the privilege of presenting a PA Senate Citation to Robert Bini, sponsored by Senators Martin, Phillips-Hill and Aument. Bob recently retired from the Lancaster County Planning Commission after a career spanning thirty-three years of distinguished service.

The Senate of PA is pleased to commend Bob for his extraordinary commitment to Lancaster County and wishes him well in retirement.

Joined the Central PA Chapter of the 1st Cavalry Division Association and the Liberty War Bird Association at the Lancaster Airport this morning to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 1st Cavalry Division, one of the Army's oldest and most decorated divisions.

The program included remarks by Chief Warrant Officer (Retired) Chieu Van Le and ELANCO School District teacher Lei Williams, who talked about her helicopter ride to freedom just prior to the fall of Saigon.

The presentation concluded with a flyover by a fully restored Huey 823.

On Friday evening, June and I had the privilege of visiting with Dave Haldeman and his World Cup Jupiter Cheerleading Team.

Dave formed World Cup Jupiter, a co-ed cheerleading team composed of children and adults with special needs, in February 2019 because of his daughter's involvement in cheer squads and his prior work as a personal care assistant for a family with autistic children. I first met Dave in February 2020 when he came to my office to discuss special education and school to work transition programs.

June and I were both inspired by this amazing group of athletes!

20 years ago today, terrorists carried out a coordinated attack on the United States, killing nearly 3,000 Americans. It was an atrocity that would shake us to our core and test our resolve.

I remember hearing the news while on a gunnery training range at Fort Carson, Colorado and listening in disbelief to the horrific events unfold over the radio, surrounded by my fellow soldiers.

Amid the tragedies playing out in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Somerset County, Pennsylvania, there were stirring acts of courage and bravery. From the shock and mourning emerged a unified people.

The effects of the events of September 11, 2001 continue to reverberate. Many of those who died left behind children who were so young they never got to know their parents. A new generation has grown up over the past two decades with few, if any, memories of those they lost. Some 1,106 victims, or 40% of those who died, remain unidentified.

Today we pause to remember and honor the sacrifices that have been made. May we again “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

It was a pleasure to join Liz Ackerman of the Northern Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and celebrate the ribbon cutting and dedication of the new chapel at United Zion Retirement Community in Lititz. This beautiful new chapel will seat 125 residents.

I pray this new chapel is a blessing to all the residents at United Zion and to the greater Lititz community. Congratulations!

Taken in April 2019, this photo is from a Concealed Carry Seminar I hosted with Representative Steve Mentzer (R-97), the Lancaster County Sheriff’s office, the Lancaster County District Attorney’s office, and the Lititz Police Department.

These events are intended to help community residents better understand the rights and responsibilities of gun owners. It was a great success and I look forward to working with law enforcement in the future to host more Concealed Carry Seminars around the 36th Senatorial District.
