Happy Labor Day!

We’ve come a long way since the era of unsafe industrial working conditions, unfettered child labor, and unregulated working hours – and you have the U.S. labor movement to thank for that. Today, we honor the workers who came together to create trade unions, strike against unfair working conditions, and demand better wages, healthcare, and protections for all workers. Their actions led to significant change that we can still see today.

Su***de takes the lives of too many of our vulnerable residents – sometimes those we never expect. This month, practice checking in on your family, friends and neighbors. Sometimes, the right question at the right time is what a person really needs.

Need support or know someone who does? The 988 Lifeline is always available: https://988lifeline.org/get-help/

Drug overdoses happen every day. We’ve lost too many of our loved ones to it. Last month, Rep. Hanbidge and I celebrated the House passage of our bill that would make the animal sedative medetomidine a Schedule III drug – and hopefully, force its decline in the illegal drug market.

Today in 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was brutally murdered by two white men in Mississippi. His murderers were eventually acquitted by an all-white, all-male jury.

Emmett’s mother decided to hold an open-casket funeral for him, showing the nation the real-world impact of decades-old acceptance of violence against Black people in the South.

This tragedy was a key turning point in the start of the Civil Rights Movement. I ask you today to remember the loss of young Emmett’s life and the courage of his mother.

The 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was ratified today 106 years ago. Yet today in 2026, we’ve seen threats to the equal right to vote come from our federal leadership. That’s why I want the PA General Assembly to finally pass the K. Leroy Irvis Voter Rights Act, which would ensure every Pennsylvanian their right to vote now and far into the future.
