Last week, Senate Bill 8 unanimously passed the PA State Senate. The bill will be the first of its kind in the country if it gets through the House and signed by the governor. It will make BRCA (genetic testing) more accessible and access to breast MRI and ultrasound testing without co-pays for those who are at high risk. This came out of my personal experience while going through treatment and diagnosis for breast cancer. While I could afford to pay for testing if necessary, many women can’t. That’s not acceptable. This bill will result in earlier diagnosis which will result in saving lives. 1 in 8 women get breast cancer and approximately 14,000 women are newly diagnosed with breast cancer every year in PA - that’s a lot of mothers, daughters, friends, relatives and grandmas aka Kiki’s, which I’m called. 🙂. I am the prime sponsor of this bill which is co-primed by Senators @senatordevlinrobinson and @senatorpennycuick.

I’m extremely grateful to the 49 co-sponsors of SB8 from both sides of the aisle. ❤️

Attended the the 112th Annual Convention of the Westmoreland County Association of Township Supervisors this morning. Thanks for having me!

My office was happy to meet with @duquesneuniversity pharmacy students to discuss workforce issues and industry trends! 💊🩺

Following Gov. Shapiro`s first budget address, I was joined by my Senate colleagues to reiterate our commitment to passing a conservative, fiscally responsible spending plan that strengthens Pennsylvania.

We voiced concerns with this proposal to increase spending by more than $1.3 billion above the current year’s budget. However, the $45.8 billion budget proposal unveiled by Shapiro today does also include many priorities shared by us, including workforce development, infrastructure advancements, safe communities, and mental and behavioral health supports.

Yesterday, I joined my Senate Republican colleagues to announce our principles and priorities for the 2023-24 legislative session.

During the current two-year session, legislative efforts will be focused on protecting jobs, empowering families and defending freedoms.

We want Pennsylvanians to know the Senate Republican Caucus has their backs.

Bushy Run won yesterday at the PA Historical Museum Commission meeting! 🎉

Unanimous vote in favor of permitting Bushy Run’s 260th Anniversary to occur as it always has.

A busload of Bushy Run volunteers came to Harrisburg to speak during public comment on the importance of moving forward with the re-enactments.

This ongoing battle has come to an end!

Tasted some gooood chili yesterday afternoon at the chili cook off at the American Legion in Jeannette.

The highlight of my afternoon was meeting a veteran who was wearing a purple heart on his hat and who shared a few stories, as welll as pictures, of his time in combat. 💜

God bless all of our veterans who fought and who are fighting for our nation. 🇺🇸

There`s no better bond than sisterhood.
