Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made

Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

By the President of the United States of America:

A Proclamation.

Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:

"That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom...” - By the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Missing this guy a lot this Father’s Day weekend.

All spring I wanted to laugh with him about how Jack listens to me as much (or little) as Greg did on the baseball field. I’ve thought about how much June’s love for her family and enthusiasm for life reminds me of him.

I am proud to be Dave Aument’s son. Happy Father’s Day dad!

I appreciated the opportunity to join Rep. Aaron Kaufer and speak to members of the @PAChamber during Chamber Day 2021. I spoke about legislation to #PrioritizePA Small Business and legislation I recently introduced to reduce Pennsylvania’s Corporate Net Income Tax (CNI).

It’s time to build a stronger Pennsylvania where entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic opportunity can thrive – a Pennsylvania where each and every resident has the opportunity to experience earned success and upward economic mobility.

The Senate passed and sent to the House legislation to establish the Community Engaged Schools for Success Pilot Program to encourage community partners to work with schools to provide student support services. Physical and behavioral health resources, as well as basic needs such as food and clothing, can be provided to students more quickly if they are available at the school. Under Senate Bill 351, designated schools could apply for grants to appoint a manager and a coordinator to implement community engagement plans.

Pennsylvania voters spoke loud and clear on May 18

Pennsylvania voters spoke loud and clear on May 18 when they approved the two constitutional amendments limiting a governor’s power during emergencies. We heard them, and today we acted to end the Governor’s unchecked power and give Pennsylvanians the freedom they’ve been demanding for months.

I recently signed on as a proud cosponsor of legislation to amend Pennsylvania’s Constitution providing for voter ID.

Election integrity and security is a top priority of mine, and Voter ID is one way that we can ensure that every legal voter has the opportunity to cast their ballot with confidence in the security of our election system.

Since this legislation proposes implementing voter ID via Constitutional amendment, Pennsylvania voters will ultimately decide at the ballot box if they want voter ID in this Commonwealth.

I have also cosponsored a number of other bills intended to restore election integrity in this Commonwealth, including mandated audits, mail-in ballot reforms, a strengthened complaint process, and more.

Finally, I have introduced my own bills promoting election integrity:

(1) Legislation to Suspend & Fix No-Excuse Mail-In Ballots in Pennsylvania
(2) Legislation to Ensure Accuracy of Voter Registration Records
