Today, we’re celebrating my son’s 8th birthday at home.🎂 It’s tough to find new ways to celebrate milestones, but we all have to do our part to slow the spread of this virus + protect our communities. We’re going to get through this together. ❤️

Regardless of – or because of – its intent, this policy will overwhelmingly impact already marginalized students – students of color, students with disabilities, low-income students and LGBTQ students. Read my full statement ⤵️

The @PaSenateDems just walked off the floor in outrage over our Rep colleagues’ failure to hear our proposed amendments to #HB33 , a bill that guts aid to the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians. #SaveGA

The House’s only Registered Nurse. The Senate is fortunate to have two Registered Nurses, who as chairs of Aging & Youth hope to work with this task force to make sure Pennsylvania’s seniors have a seat at the table.

I stand in solidarity with the nurses striking at St. Mary Medical Center in Bucks County. As a registered nurse, I’ve seen the impact that inadequate staffing can have on morale, retention, and most of all, patient care. @PennaNurses

800 Bucks County nurses go on strike over ‘dangerous’ staffing levels as coronavirus cases surge

The nurses at St. Mary Medical Center say they have no choice but to walk off the job as coronavirus cases surge across the region.
