It felt great celebrating two events in South Harrisburg last week! 🌳
First, i kicked things off with a tree planting alongside Secretary Dunn and Mayor Wanda Williams.
Next, i joined a health fair and food giveaway sponsored by the PA Legislative Black Caucus.

Rep. Fleming and I toured the apprenticeship program in Hamburg 👷🏽♂️🔥
These programs train our youth for good-paying union careers — and they get paid while they learn.
Big shoutout to the Sheet Metal Workers for inviting us to see this great pathway to the middle class 💪🏽

The past few weeks have been busy celebrating Diwali with our Nepali community, joining the homecoming parade, and showing up at events all across the 104th. In between it all, we’re grinding away on the state budget and yes, even Mike Tyson stopped by Harrisburg.
