Today's action by Gov. Josh Shapiro is a huge relief for our most vulnerable Philadelphians who rely on SNAP to keep food on the table. This is what compassionate leadership looks like.

Thank you Gov. Josh Shapiro for stepping up to support vulnerable Philadelphians missing their SNAP benefits. Even a partial payment may not be enough for working families, so our food banks are a vital part of addressing food insecurity in our city.

Our work is not done! Thanks to our Chairwoman @repcephas.com for rallying outside of Suburban Station for funding to stabilize SEPTA, ensure riders & workers are safe, and keep our region moving.
Transit is personal. It's personal to me, it's personal to my colleagues, it's personal to Pennsylvanians. It's about mobility; it's about opportunity. The fight is not over for SEPTA—we must find a stable, recurring funding mechanism to #SaveMassTransit for ALL Pennsylvanians.

The suspension of WOAR services is devastating. This #PaBudget impasse that continues due to the indifference of the #PaSenate toward our city is unacceptable & we call on them to get serious about real solutions to improve the quality of life in Philly & across PA.

We stood in the shadow of the Sports Complex to highlight the specific need for @septaphilly.bsky.social beyond the daily commute, for the major events happening in South Philly & across the city. Public transit needs to be funded as the priority public service that it is.

The #PaHouse Transportation Cmte. did their work by approving transit funding by a bipartisan vote & incorporating Senate GOP priorities - we hope to move this bill out of the House soon and the #PaSenate follows with a quick approval before SEPTA's Aug. 14 deadline to avoid drastic service cuts.

I've included Senate GOP oversight language in my bill that would also provide the necessary funding for SEPTA, and it was approved in the #PAHouse Transportation Committee today. Now the Senate is out of time and out of excuses. Let's get this done. #FUNDSEPTANOW.

The PA House just passed no tax on overtime and no tax on tips!
This bill also stands up for small community businesses to help them compete against big corporations.
This is a huge step toward fairness and economic opportunity for ALL Pennsylvanians.
