Supporting Youth Athletes, Sports at the Little League World Series
August 28, 2025
The 2025 Little League World Series is now over. However, Grace and I were lucky enough to spend some time in Williamsport during the height of the games. My love of baseball extends beyond Little League. During President George W. Bush’s administration, I worked in White House communications where we celebrated the prowess of young athletes with tee-ball on the South Lawn. Baseball and all youth sports help instill teamwork and camaraderie, passing along skills, memories, and relationships that can last a lifetime.
Play Ball! Celebrating the Little League World Series
August 26, 2025
All eyes were on Williamsport, PA! The 2025 Little League World Series, featuring some of the best young baseball players in the world, is now over. The tournament featured 20 U.S. and international teams and once again proved that baseball’s youngest stars create some of the sport’s most fun and inspiring moments. This is all about the kids!
Setting Local Students Up for Success!
August 26, 2025
On Aug. 19, I hosted my second-ever Back-to-School Event to help local students prepare for the upcoming academic year. My team and I had a blast talking to local kids and seeing their faces light up when handed a new backpack full of school supplies. One of our kiddos even offered to share her erasers with other classmates who don't have them. That's what this is all about! Thank you so much to the sponsors who helped pull off this event for kids and families in the 169th District.
Fighting to Save Women’s Sports
August 07, 2025
Members of the York County Delegation to the House of Representatives are advocating for Senate Bill 9, the Save Women's Sports Act, which is stalled in the Democrat-controlled House. We must protect the freedoms guaranteed by Title IX, so girls in this Commonwealth maintain right to compete on a level playing field.
Exploring Child Care Workforce Development Solutions
August 01, 2025
On July 29, I attended a Policy Committee hearing about workforce development and the child care industry. Reps. Joe Hogan (R-142) and Shelby Labs (R-143) unveiled legislation that would create a pilot program and pipeline to develop the next generation of early education teachers. We must continue working on commonsense reforms that fight the child care worker shortage and make it more affordable for families.
Happy Independence Day!

The America First of Pennsylvania Caucus wishes you a happy Independence Day! God bless America!
Hold the Line at $47.9 Billion
June 04, 2025
On June 4, I joined House and Senate colleagues for a press conference about Gov. Josh Shapiro's staggering $51.47 billion budget proposal. We're contrasting that approach with a level-funded, responsible budget that comes in at $47.9 billion. The General Assembly needs to hold the line to ensure the funding of necessary programs and services while shielding you from tax increases.
Cutting Costs, Creating Commerce
May 08, 2025
A recent meeting of the House Republican Policy Committee meeting afforded us an awesome opportunity to hear directly from some local business owners. These are individuals who are investing in our communities and want to plant multi-generational roots. In order to facilitate that, Harrisburg must take an in-depth look at policies that are holding small businesses back.
Planting Flags for Child Abuse Prevention Month
April 03, 2025
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about abuse happening in our communities and stand as a unified voice to advocate for our children. Together, we can lessen the number of flags planted at the Capitol, which represent substantiated cases of abuse and child abuse related deaths. One flag is too many.
Discussing Child Care, Education on Face the State
April 02, 2025
On March 30, I joined Joel D. Smith for Face the State on Local 21 CBS News. We had a great discussion about child care and education, including President Donald Trump's executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. This order returns educational authority to the states and empowers local school boards to serve their districts without disrupting federal funding. No one is better equipped to make decisions for our students than the people who know them and their needs best!
