Yesterday, we made history when the PA CROWN Act became law!

I was happy to share the day with my goddaughter, Lorel, knowing that her generation won’t face discrimination or be judged for their natural hair style or texture.

We can wear our CROWNS with pride!

The Pennsylvania #CrownAct
IS NOW LAW! ✊🏾✨
A bill I introduced with @RepSummerLee — propelled by advocates like @AdjoaBAsamoah & @thecrownact  was signed by @GovernorShapiro today in #WestPhilly.
Thanks to @RepMayes for carrying the baton and to our partners in the #PASenate #crownact

It was great to celebrate the groundbreaking on another new affordable housing projects.

My colleagues and I have been working to help secure more affordable housing in communities across Pennsylvania.
This year’s state budget unleashed more funding for projects that will help more people in PA.

I’m so grateful to SELF, INC — Strengthening and Empowering Lives and Futures — for honoring me with their Trailblazer Award alongside Sheryl Lee Ralph, Rickey Duncan, Antoine Davis, and Makaila Davis!

Thank you Dr. Shirlana Dash, Candy Hagamin, and the entire team.

2 million Pennsylvanians are food insecure. To help, our new state budget includes $40 million so our neighbors have access to healthy food and it makes sure every student has a free breakfast to start the school day.

As American Education Week wraps up, I am so proud of what Pennsylvania has done to help our schools and students!
 
William Penn and Philly SDs both got funding boosts this year that help them put great teachers in our classrooms, improve the safety of our schools,

It was fantastic to share the GREAT news about the CROWN Act with WGAL’s Michael Fuller!

Soon hair discrimination will be illegal in PA, and our commonwealth will be a more equitable place where everyone is respected, treated with dignity, and can be their authentic self.

A meaningful day in the People’s House.
I met with PLBC colleagues, welcomed guests to the Chamber, and joined the House in recognizing the life and legacy of Geoffrey Mock.
Every day is a reminder of who we serve — in moments of joy and moments of grief. Grateful to do this work.

Victory! The PA CROWN Act will soon be law, ending hair discrimination in Pennsylvania.

A win for dignity, equity, and every person who has ever felt judged because of their hair. Our children will grow up in a better Commonwealth — and we can all wear our crowns with pride.

A full day in the Capitol — rallying with Planned Parenthood and advocates for reproductive healthcare, meeting with guests, and continuing our work on the House floor. Every day in the People’s House is a chance to serve and fight for Pennsylvania families.

Great news, NEIGHBORS! Pennsylvania has a new tax credit to put money back in your bank account!

I was proud to join Gov. Josh Shapiro to celebrate the passage of the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit, which will provide $193 million in tax relief to nearly 1 million Pennsylvanians.

A full day in the Capitol! I hosted our Legislative Fellows for breakfast — their questions and insights give me real hope for PA’s future leaders.
Later, I joined Governor Shapiro and colleagues to celebrate the new Working Pennsylvanian Tax Credit, which will return money to families as costs rise

I had a wonderful time with the Delaware County Black Caucus and was inspired by Mrs. Joyce Abbott, whose dedication to our students and classrooms continues to make an impact.
Her message reminds us how vital education is to strengthening our families and communities.

A good budget is worth fighting for - and our hard work PAID OFF! This year we secured record school funding, investments in public safety, and even created a new tax credit for our working families.

Stay tuned we have more work ahead!!!
