Had a friend text me and say, “Government is opening back up!”
My response was, “at what cost?”
Will my insurance skyrocket like I was told it will last week? Will federal workers get back pay? Or will Trump use the courts to fight that? Same goes for SNAP.
Folks are going to suffer still.

Cannot say enough good things about the inroads we have made here in my community and in rural PA. When your message is one of care and looking out for those you represent, the results speak for themselves.
EVEN in deep red rural PA.

Last week @runforsomething.net helped elect a socialist in Atlanta, a former Republican in rural PA & at least 122 others, (including 35 red to blue flips). We’ve been building the big tent - tight on values, flexible on policy, and most importantly, centered on community.

This one is particularly special. Andrew is a former Republican who left the party after January 6th - he's the parent of two kids, including one with disabilities & the Trump cuts to Medicaid & DOE directly hit his family. This was a long-shot race -- he WON! www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

It is absolutely mortifying to see this administration consistently going after the most vulnerable in our communities. President Trump wants to make things go back to the states, well, state-level elections have never been more important.
I refuse to be silent on this.

Absolutely horrific events today in Utah. A wife lost her husband, children lost their dad, and parents lost a son. Politics take a back seat but the violence in today’s political climate has to stop across the board.

As the weather changes, it is great to get into the final months of my campaign. Door knocking, events, and continuing to have real, honest conversations will never stop being the best part of this process.
Once this is done, the real work starts, and I am even more excited to get to that.

My family suffered the same exact situation as this Iowa mom, from the NICU stay to the Autism diagnosis.
Medicaid is not just a physical lifeline but an emotional one, a mental one. We need more people who just genuinely care for others like Zach running for public office at every level.

My county cannot afford to run buses all year. This Summer when the heat hit the triple digits I had to watch people walk to work from distances that varied from blocks to a mile or so.
Walking in that heat affects mental and physical well-being. This passing the state senate solves that issue.

Over one million Pennsylvanians in every one of our 67 counties is counting on the Senate to fund mass transit.
The House has passed my proposal four times already. It’s time to get it done.
