Nobody wins with these cuts. Not our students. Not workers. Not working families. Certainly not Harrisburg Republicans.

Today’s mass shooting in West Philly is devastating. Our city is riddled by the gun violence epidemic. Gun violence is a moral issue & our leaders in Harrisburg keep choosing the wrong side.
We are keeping those affected by this senseless tragedy in our thoughts and prayers
