Foreign governments and foreign actors are regularly trying to influence our politics at all levels. Last week, I spoke in support of Rep. Joe Webster's bill to stop foreign interference in our elections, and I look forward to voting in favor of it.

I'm a champion for public transit, in part, because it's something I personally rely on daily. But I'm not alone, tens of thousands of people rely on transit every day to get them to school, work, and medical appointments. We can't grow our city with more cars and highways. We need to fund SEPTA!

Digital ghosts are another way AI's weaponized against us. We shouldn't be losing control of our lives because the tech elite want to create a world that no one else wants. I look forward to introducing this bill and working with my colleagues to get it passed in the .
