With the rise of AI child sex abuse material, the Senate recently passed a new law requiring teachers, childcare workers, healthcare providers, and other individuals responsible for caring for children to report all instances of such material they become aware of – including those produced by a minor.
Our police officers and firefighters dedicate their careers to protecting our communities, neighbors, and loved ones. Every day, they respond to emergencies and put their lives at risk to keep the rest of us safe. They deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing the retirement benefits they earned through years of service will be there when they need them.
I’m proud that Moon Township has demonstrated the good stewardship of their pension system required to keep these financial promises to our public servants!
A special thank you to @paauditorgeneral Tim DeFoor for coming out to our community to highlight Moon Township’s accomplishments. He also announced that more than 1,400 municipalities across Pennsylvania have received $427 million in state aid to support municipal pension plans for police, firefighters, and non-uniformed employees – including more than $427,000 for Moon Township!
I encourage everyone to celebrate and honor our nation’s heroes this upcoming Veterans Day. Check out some of these local Veterans Day events around Allegheny County.
Call your local veterans’ groups for additional events near you, and thank a veteran today for their service to our country!
I was glad to see several communities in my district receive funding to rehabilitate and develop recreation spaces in their area. These projects will continue to provide safe places for kids and families to play and encourage a healthy lifestyle among residents.
Data shows teens receive an average of 237 notifications on their phone a day. We know phones are not only a distraction for the owner of the phone, but the entire class is disrupted by the constant ringing, buzzing, and checking of these devices. This results in learning loss for students, and it creates a frustrating environment for educators who try to maintain focus and order in the classroom.
No more!
📱🚫 Fewer distractions 📱🚫 Public schools will be required to adopt policies prohibiting student cellphone use during the school day under a bill I sponsored with @senhughesoffice and @senator_stevesantarsiero that is now law in PA!

Thanks to all the students, teachers, public servants, and government relations professionals who joined me at @robertmorrisuniversity today for my annual Senator for a Day event! The students debated issues like data centers, AI usage in schools, and second-degree murder sentencing guidelines as they learned what it’s like to be a Pennsylvania state senator.
To help survivors of serious or violent crimes avoid repeated court appearances and trauma, the Senate passed a bipartisan measure to allow lifetime no-contact orders for certain offenses.
This National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, I’m proud to recognize the commitment of @animal_friendsinc, @harpsaveslives, and the shelters across the commonwealth that help protect animals and find them loving homes.
Thank you to the staff and volunteers who make a difference in our communities and in these animals’ lives every day.
