‪I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with Sen. Tom Coburn a number of years ago. He spoke to me about his friendship with President Barack Obama and the need for civil political discourse. It had a real impact on me just as I was beginning my service in the PA Senate. May God comfort & bless his family. https://oklahoman.com/article/5658847/former-us-sen-tom-coburn-dies-at-72‬

To my friends @PSEA - We have not always agreed over the course of my legislative career and I am sure we will disagree over issues in the future, but I think we have demonstrated we can accomplish great things when we listen to other, seek understanding, and focus on solutions.

Make no mistake, we are in the midst of a public health emergency which will require the cooperation and patience of every Pennsylvanian. As such, it was encouraging to see all branches of government work together today in a bipartisan and collaborative fashion to pass this legislative package that will provide critical support to our schools, businesses, families, and communities as we confront this pandemic. To that end, my priority continues to be to ensure that all Pennsylvanians remain healthy, safe, and positioned to experience economic opportunity and upward mobility after this moment of crisis has passed.
