Yesterday was about putting politics aside and serving our neighbors. I was honored to join a bipartisan group of House & Senate legislators at Caring For Friends food pantry here in Northeast Philly to prepare fresh meals for folks in need this holiday season.

I am proud to vote for a budget that invests in working families in Northeast Philadelphia. I fought to pass the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit, which will put money back in the pockets of many of our neighbors. The work continues! If you have any questions, please call my office at 215-331-2600!

We finally passed a #PaBudget. It's late and that is unacceptable, but this bipartisan budget will move Northeast Philadelphia and all of Pennsylvania forward. This budget invests in education, childcare, and fixing roads and bridges without increasing taxes or draining the state's rainy day fund.

As a result of the federal government shutdown, LIHEAP applications will now open December 3 - one month after they were initially set to open. This delay is devastating as it will leave more than 300,000 Pennsylvanians without heat this November. Read more here: www.pa.gov/agencies/dhs...

Due to the federal government shutdown, please note that no SNAP benefits will be issued November and beyond until a budget is passed by congress. In the meantime, contact our U.S. Senators and urge them to get back to work and allow this critical program to continue running.

The time for games and politics is over. Yesterday, we passed a budget for a third time this year in the PA House. My neighbors, schools, non-profits, and businesses are struggling because we are putting politics over people. Now, our Senate colleagues need to do their job and pass this budget.
