It has been an honor to represent the residents of the City of York, West York Borough, Manchester and West Manchester townships for the last four years in the Senate of Pennsylvania. Effective tomorrow, Dec. 1, Sen. Mike Regan will represent this portion of York County in the state Senate. I heard feedback 5,960 times from these residents throughout my first term, as well as assisted in more than 2,400 individual cases from constituents, including PennDOT work and professional licensing issues. We were able to resolve more than 320 unemployment compensation claims during that time, as well. These communities will be well-served by my friend and colleague, Sen. Regan.

Decorated Eagle Scout and York Countian Christian Snouffer was the Eagle Scout class speaker at the 13th Annual Eagle Scout Recognition Event in Hershey last night. This event is one of the Boy Scouts' biggest fundraisers, raising over $130,000 this year. This was the second time in its history where they raised more than $100,000. My team was honored to participate in the event.

The New Birth of Freedom Council had 225 scouts earn the rank of Eagle Scout in 2022. The skills these scouts attained during their journey to Eagle Scout will live with them forever. As they say, “Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle."

Congratulations!

In between meetings on Thursday and Friday this week, I met with students and teachers from Dallastown Elementary and Loganville-Springfield Elementary Schools, part of the Dallastown Area School District; and Susquehannock High School, part of the Southern York County School District. I was able to show them the Senate Chamber and discuss the history of the building.

It started with a constituent: Dr. Suzette Song of OSS Health who shared her frustration with the prior authorization process leading to poor patient outcomes.

Over the last two years, my team and I led countless stakeholder meetings and discussions with patient advocacy groups, health care providers, insurers and the governor’s administration to resolve an issue that has plagued health care delivery in Pennsylvania for decades.

Yesterday was the culmination of due diligence, compromise and a willingness to work together - Republicans and Democrats - to improve health care outcomes in the Commonwealth as the governor held a ceremonial bill signing of legislation that I authored.

I am grateful for the friendship and guidance of my colleague, @senatormensch, who retires at the end of this session.

Sen. Mensch has served as Majority Caucus Chair during my four years in the Senate where he led our caucus with a reasonable and steady approach.

Today, I am humbled by the support of my colleagues as I was elected to serve as the Majority Caucus Chair for the 2023-24 session.

This position is also near and dear to me as former Sen. Mike Waugh also held this position when he served the residents of the 28th Senatorial District.

Thank you to York County Department of Veterans Affairs and everyone in the York County community that made the 2022 Veterans Celebration and Breakfast so meaningful and special for all of our York County Veterans!

COL (USA-Ret) Ludwig (Lou) Faistenhammer was the guest of honor. In his career in the United States Army, he earned 3 Purple Hearts - one in WWII, one in Korea and one in Vietnam. Thank you for allowing our keynote speaker, Vice Admiral (USN-Ret) DeWolfe “Chip” Miller share your story with us.

Congratulations to Rick Hahn on receiving The George H. Eyelet Meritorious Setvice Award fir his continued service to his community and fellow veterans.

George Washington stated that, ”the willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.“

Sgt. (USA-Ret) Harold Redding has made certain that both the Vietnam veterans of his generation and the Persian Gulf War and Global War on Terrorism veterans are appreciated for their service and sacrifice.

In recognition of his significant contributions to veterans of yesterday and today, Representative Seth Grove and I presented him with a signed copy of the bill he inspired. Thank you Sgt. Redding!

Thank you to the New Freedom Recreation Council for hosting last night’s dinner to honor our local veterans!

It was an honor to join PA State Rep. Kate Klunk to share remarks and express gratitude to all our veterans for their service and sacrifice. It was great to see so many young people helping out!

Special thanks to all of the veterans who shared their stories. We must never forget we are the land of the free because we are the home of the brave!

Happy Veterans Day!

Every once in a while, you receive a God wink.

Thank you to Jerry Sanford who shared the book he wrote with me entitled, “It Started with a Helmet,” detailing his journey as a retired FDNY firefighter returning to New York City the day before 9/11.

The story recounts how he found an antique FDNY helmet in Naples, Florida, and traveled back to NYC to return it to its proper home in the South Bronx Avenue firehouse the day before 9/11.

He eventually returned to service with the FDNY in the recovery efforts following the attacks. The great irony is that Rick’s dad was the Battalion Chief in the 15th Battalion in the Bronx. The Helmet this story is written about was from the 26th Battalion in the Bronx. In all likelihood, Mr. Sanford knew my father-in law in his previous capacity of press secretary to the Fire Commissioner.

This book is used in schools around the nation to teach children about 9/11 and its impact on our nation.

Pennsylvania played a pivotal role on that fateful day, and I look forward to passing legislation to assure that every school in the commonwealth has access to curriculum to teach our students the impact of that day on the world in which they live.

It was truly a pleasure to join the members of Laurel Fire Company #1 - Windsor PA for their Annual Appreciation Banquet and present Senate of Pennsylvania citations to Junior Firefighter of the Year Dakota Crumling, Fire Police Officer of the Year Dawson Kling, and Firefighter of the Year Ned Souders.

Daniel Orwig was named Chief Emeritus upon his 50 years of service and Barry Barshinger was named Chief Emeritus upon his 60 years of service.

Josh Golembiowski was presented his firefighter helmet in recognition of his unwavering support of the fire company and its members through his Give Back Campaign!

Thank you to these brave men and women who have answered the noble cause to serve as firefighters and keep our community safe!
