We need to be providing our Ukrainian allies with proper defense capabilities to help them prevail against Russia’s brutal aggression – and that includes F-16s. I’m working with my colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats, to make it happen.

Fantastic to meet with representatives from last week! I’ll always be a partner in the work to create good jobs and protect fair wages and workplace standards for the workers who keep our community running.

We need to have meaningful conversations about spending—but holding the economy hostage to push through extreme cuts that will harm my constituents is not the way to do it.
I can’t support a proposal that threatens health care, veterans’ benefits, and jobs in #PA07.

Putting money back in parents’ pockets, raising wages for hardworking care providers, and giving kids more quality early childhood education – that’s working for people.
And that’s why I’m working so hard to pass the Child Care for Working Families Act.

Very glad to partner with Rep. Thompson to re-introduce the EMS Counts Act: common-sense, bipartisan legislation to make certain that heroic EMS personnel can effectively respond to emergencies and protect our communities.

My father served in the Air Force—and I’m overjoyed to have gotten help tracking down his medals and records, thanks to my office’s Gold Star fellow. So, so incredibly special.
If you’re looking for the records or medals of a loved one who served, please give my office a call.

My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the nine Lehigh Valley workers who lost their lives on the job this past year. On Workers Memorial Day—and every day—I stand with those fighting for the safe workplaces they deserve.

As Mental Health Awareness Month begins, I’m committed as ever to shining light on the mental health issues that so many of our friends, loved ones, and neighbors experience. Together, we can reduce the stigma and keep working to ensure mental health care is accessible to all.

The #PACTAct is getting to work: since its passage last year, it expanded benefits for 193,897 veterans and survivors and provided 2,731,842 toxic exposure screenings.
Proud to have helped pass this law to help fulfill our promise to the veterans who served our country.

Great news. Proud to have helped push the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to protect Lehigh and Northampton County residents from potentially devastating, hazardous train derailments in our backyards.

Mack Trucks is a staple of the Lehigh Valley community. I was delighted to meet some of their employees last week for a conversation about what I can do to support their business and workers here in Congress.

Apprenticeship programs create opportunities to address the workforce shortage, connect workers with good-paying jobs, and grow our local economy. I’m proud to cosponsor the bipartisan National Apprenticeship Act of 2023, a win for our workers AND businesses.

The hardworking letter carriers who deliver our mail keep us all connected! 💌 I enjoyed meeting with members of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Pennsylvania delegation to hear more about what I can do to support postal workers in the Lehigh Valley and beyond.

Threatening to hold our economy hostage and put at risk the health care of 282,000+ people in #PA07 who rely on Medicare, Medicaid, or VA coverage? An unserious proposal.
We need a clean debt ceiling increase that doesn’t harm working families, much less risk economic disaster.

Before I came to Congress, I was a working mom. I remember the time I brought my toddler to court with me due to short staffing at his child care center. We must pass the Child Care for Working Families Act, so no parent has to worry about lacking affordable, reliable child care.

Child care is unaffordable or unavailable for too many. This bill will help open more care providers and lower parents’ costs—& it’ll raise wages for care providers to increase retention rates & keep their doors open. For the working families in #PA07 & beyond, let’s get it done!

Over 1,500 children in our community are on a child care waitlist—meaning that tackling the child care crisis is a HUGE need.
That’s why I’m proud to help introduce the Child Care for Working Families Act, to ensure every family can access high-quality, affordable child care.

The child care crisis is holding our entire country back—we've got to tackle it head-on and we've got to do it soon.
I'm live with @BobbyScott, @SenSchumer, families, child care workers, advocates, and so many others to talk about my plan to fix it. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1

Over half my office’s constituent service cases deal with delayed tax returns due to back up at the IRS. This good news about improved customer service at the IRS is exactly why I voted for the #InflationReductionAct—to make govt work for you & put $$$ back in your pocket faster.

Honored to have had constituents representing the Alliance for Childhood Cancer stop by my office this week. And, I’m glad they were able to have the uniquely Washington, DC experience of riding the underground train over to the Capitol!

Defaulting on our debt and sending the world into a recession is not a negotiation chip. This is about avoiding a self-inflicted economic meltdown that threatens America’s standing in the world—we need a clean debt ceiling increase.

I just voted “NO” on limiting our economic potential by threatening a recession, saving the ultra-wealthiest money, and growing the gap between wealthy & working class. This bill is a reckless threat to our economy that’ll hurt Pennsylvania working families—I can’t support that.

Rural hospitals face difficulties in not just keeping their doors open, but in training the next generation of rural health care workers.
My bipartisan bill would change that by ensuring rural hospitals have the resources needed to serve our communities.

Mifepristone has been used for decades in abortion care & miscarriage management. It’s safe, effective, & banning it is out of line with what Americans want.
I’ll always work to protect reproductive health care & keep the govt. out of your doctor’s office.
