Joined Representative Seth Grove’s team at Smoke in the Grove BBQ Festival. Great to catch up with so many constituents enjoying the Borough of Spring Grove’s festival featuring the Pennsylvania State BBQ Championship. It was hard to decide how to cast my vote in the People’s Choice Pork BBQ competition!

Good luck to all of the teams competing today to go to The Kansas City Barbeque Society Nationals!

Thank you to Kennie's Market for sponsoring this event!

Thank you to Mark Platts and his team for the informative tour of the Susquehanna National Heritage Area, based in Wrightsville. The Heritage Area is now home to the 1912 electric-powered Chief Uncas, where they will begin offering tours out of the Zimmerman Center.

We had a great discussion on how we can work together to make this national landmark and local treasure an even better place for guests young and old. The Chief Uncas is an incredible asset to our community and I look forward to seeing many new memories made along the Susquehanna River due to Mark and his team’s tireless efforts.

The #PASenate State Government Committee held a public hearing today to review the legal requirements for incapacitated governors or lieutenant governors pursuant to Act 347 of 1974.

During the hearing, we heard from subject matter experts about laws in place in other states to ensure continuity of government when these situations arise.

According to committee chairman, @SenatorArgall, these procedures came into the spotlight in May when Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman underwent a pacemaker operation following a stroke. President Pro Tempore Jake Corman served as acting lieutenant governor from May 17th to May 23rd. Since his stroke, Lieutenant Governor Fetterman has not presided over the Senate.

Many thanks to the Jacobus Lions Club for hosting the event and to all the community partners that made it such a memorable celebration! From the children’s parade to the opening ceremony at the flag pole honoring our veterans, onto the book sale, children’s games, face painting, the car show, great food, and exceptional entertainment that continues through this evening along with the fireworks tonight at 9:15 p.m. I am grateful for this wonderful hometown tradition, everyone who stopped by to say hello and participate in the activities, and that our family’s favorite – the kid’s tractor pull was back!

Every Fourth of July holiday, I hear from our neighbors concerned about the use of consumer fireworks. I hear from veterans, farmers, pet owners, young families, firefighters and other concerned residents.

Rep. Frank Farry joins me for my latest podcast episode to talk about his proposal that is working its way through the legislative process. His bill would increase penalties and limit the days and times consumer fireworks can be set off throughout the year.
