You MAY Have Unclaimed Property!
You may have unclaimed property waiting for you! Join my team at our May 7th mobile office in Springettsbury Township to find out. A Treasury specialist will be onsite to help you search for unclaimed property, answer questions, and guide you through the process of filing a claim. Come search for yourself and family at York Area United Fire & Rescue Station, located at 50 Commons Drive in York, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to unclaimed property assistance, my team will be available to help with a variety of state-related services. Stop by and take a few minutes to see if money could be waiting to be returned to you. You can search for unclaimed property and find out more about the program here. Celebrating Barry Keller’s 93rd Birthday
Barry Keller will celebrate his 93rd birthday next month, marking a lifetime of hard work, community involvement, and dedication to family. From helping lead the family business, now known as Keller-Brown Insurance Services, to his many contributions throughout the Glen Rock and Shrewsbury communities, Barry has made a lasting impact. It is an honor to recognize this remarkable milestone and the legacy he continues to carry forward. Happy Birthday, Barry! Beware of Investment Scams on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp
Fraudulent investment schemes are appearing on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp featuring recognizable figures, like Cathie Wood (Ark Invest), Joe Kernen (CNBC) or Kevin O’Leary (CNBC) without their permission. In these “pump and dump” schemes, victims are lured into online groups and convinced to invest in cryptocurrencies or low-priced stocks. The scammers advertise, hype and recommend buying the stocks or cryptocurrencies, increasing their prices, and then selling when the price is high, while the victims lose their money. Attorney General Dave Sunday encourages anyone who may have been a victim of these types of scams to report it to the Bureau of Consumer Protection at 800-441-2555 or scams@attorneygeneral.gov.

It was a pleasure joining the Hackin’ Hounds and learning more about their work as a local FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team. Through hands-on competition, collaboration, and problem-solving, they are not only building robots but also developing critical skills in engineering, coding, and teamwork. The team actively works to expand access to STEM by hosting events, connecting with the community, and encouraging more students to get involved in robotics and technology. Their passion for innovation and dedication to making STEM more accessible is making a real impact in our community. I look forward to seeing their accomplishments this season and beyond. Learn more on their website here and view photos and videos from my visit here. Reducing Aggressive Driving, Protecting Pedestrians the Focus of Senate Hearing
Law enforcement agencies, transportation officials and community advocates discussed initiatives to discourage aggressive driving and make roads safer for pedestrians, fellow motorists and cyclists at a public hearing of the Senate Majority Policy Committee. The most effective and comprehensive approach to reducing aggressive driving involves a combination of engineering, education, enforcement and emergency response strategies, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The department collaborates with the Pennsylvania State Police, local governments, universities and other organizations to combat aggressive driving. You can read what other testifiers said and view the full hearing video here. Connecting with Pastor Ryan Bastress
I recently had the opportunity to connect with Pastor Ryan Bastress and appreciated the time we spent in conversation and prayer. Especially during the Easter season, it is a meaningful reminder of the importance of faith, reflection, and community. I am grateful for his leadership and continued support for those he serves. Thank You for Joining for Coffee and Conversation!
It was great partnering with Rep. Kate Klunk for our recent Coffee and Conversation event and connecting with so many citizens of the community. Thank you to everyone who came out, shared their thoughts, and took the time to be part of the conversation! Opportunities like this are a valuable way to hear directly from you and stay connected on the issues that matter most. Stay tuned for more events like this in the future. Area Creameries Encouraged to Join the PA Ice Cream Trail
Area creameries have until Monday, April 13, to get listed on the 2026 PA Ice Cream Trail. Last year’s promotion brought more than 12,500 visitors to creameries statewide. The PA Ice Cream Trail runs from June to September and is designed to increase consumer awareness of locally produced dairy products. The program includes a digital passport featuring creameries across the state and a prize for those who visit a certain number of creameries. Pennsylvania dairy farms that have a value-added ice cream component to their business and meet the qualifications of the PA Preferred® program are encouraged to join the trail. Find out how to participate at the Center for Dairy Excellence. Child Abuse Prevention Month
National Child Abuse Prevention Month is an opportunity to learn how to identify abused or neglected children. You could save a child’s innocence or even their life. Signs of child abuse include unexplained injuries or injuries inconsistent with a child’s age and developmental level. Signs of child neglect include lack of adequate medical and dental care, or a child who is often hungry or not registered in school. Find more signs of abuse and neglect here. If you suspect child abuse, call ChildLine at 1-800-932-0313. Mobile Office Hours
