Great conversation with Penn State students at our third Talk with Takac event! 🐾 🧑‍🎓
I really appreciated the great turnout (especially as we approach finals!) - and of course the opportunity to talk with students about the things that matter most to them.

I’m proud to share that this year’s state budget includes a $25 million investment in Solar for Schools. This is a smart, forward-thinking initiative that will help schools across Pennsylvania reduce energy costs, save taxpayer dollars, protect our environment, and support good-paying jobs.

As someone with an advanced degree in nutrition, I know how important nutrition is for health and the prevention of chronic disease. And, with plenty of misinformation online, doctors must play an important role in sharing evidence-based and up-to-date nutritional advice to their patients.

Monday is the last day to bring in donations! 🍁 🦃

Our office is partnering with the YMCA of Centre County on a Thanksgiving food drive for local families in need. We have 350+ families registered so far, but more are coming in every day, and we are already over capacity based on current donations.

🍂 🍁 October was a busy month here in District 82! My team and I hosted three big events: People, PAWS, and PSU, our first Accessibility Resource Fair, and a Tele-town Hall. We also took part in dozens of other events across the district. Here’s a sample of what we’ve been up to.

Today, I voted for a responsible, balanced budget with no tax increases that helps every Pennsylvanian. It’s long overdue, but we held firm and won the fight to make historic investments in our schools, prevent tax increases, cut costs, and support working people and create jobs here in District 82.
