Today was Small Business Saturday‼️
Small businesses make up more than 9️⃣8️⃣% of all employers in the Commonwealth.
The best way we can support our small businesses is to patronize their storefronts or visit their online shops this weekend and the days leading up to the holidays. Mom and I did our best to shop small and shop local!
On the legislative side, I am partnering with Senator Ryan P. Aument, Senator Camera Bartolotta and Senator Judy Ward to Prioritize Pennsylvania's Small Businesses to create a better economic environment that will allow our local entrepreneurs to grow and thrive in Pennsylvania.

He, along with members of the congregation that served in the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Peacetime Forces, Desert Storm and those who are on active duty today, had their service commemorated with remarks from Pastor Lawrence Cunnings and Aimee Jo Morris of Glenn Hope Care Farm.

We can never say thank you enough to the brave wom

We can never say thank you enough to the brave women and men who served our country. Each year, we pause on Veterans Day to say thank you to every individual who served in our armed services.

I am incredibly grateful for local veterans like Sgt. Harold Redding. Sgt. Redding is genesis for legislation I sponsored that was unanimously approved by the General Assembly. The bill would designate March 6 as Persian Gulf War Veterans Day and Oct. 7 as Global War on Terrorism Veterans Day in the Commonwealth.

We advocated for the passage of this bill this week during an event at Soldier's Grove outside of the state Capitol.

Great stakeholder meeting and follow-up tour of @yorkcollegepa Knowledge Park. The plan is to revitalize the site of the former Schmidt & Ault Paper Co. mill site. The building is alive with history and it was amazing to hear the stories from John Schmidt. John's grandfather originally purchased the mill in 1898. Knowledge Park will be a catalyst for our transition into a 21st century workforce.
