Today, I'm in Philadelphia to talk about our small businesses. As we struggle with inflation, small businesses continue to deal with economic challenges from COVID-19. But we have the money to help — $225 million worth. https://t.co/Cx9XsVRut1 — PolitiTweet.org

It's past time to put American Rescue Plan dollars in the hands of Pennsylvanians. A one-time boost in the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program would help hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanian homeowners and renters. Send me a bill. Let's put that money to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, I announced my plan to put $1.7B in federal COVID-19 relief funding to work — including a $204M infusion to our Property Tax Rent Rebate program. This would double the amount participants would receive this year. — PolitiTweet.org

I am with @RepSamuelson and @AARP in Bethlehem today to call on the General Assembly to release American Rescue Plan funding to boost support for older adults and vulnerable Pennsylvanians. My plan would supercharge Pennsylvania's Property Tax Rent Rebate Program. https://t.co/lhqt3RqYYG — PolitiTweet.org

As more than half of U.S. states push anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, I remain committed to protecting and expanding LGBTQ+ rights in Pennsylvania. Let's pass the #PAFairnessAct. https://t.co/FP12iQA8Ar — PolitiTweet.org

OTD 4 years ago, Americans organized March for Our Lives — one of the largest protests in U.S. history. In response to the Parkland shooting, protestors demanded gun safety legislation. I’m still calling on the General Assembly for legislation that would save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I’m with @PAStatePolice and Capitol Police as we plan to send used body armor to Ukraine. Pending federal approval, Pennsylvania will send protective gear to aid humanitarian efforts as Ukraine defends itself against Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: I'm very thankful to hear Philadelphia will be receiving disaster relief funds for Hurricane Ida damage. Unfortunately, this storm left a lasting impression on thousands of Pennsylvanians and they deserve the chance to rebuild and restore their towns and homes. — PolitiTweet.org

OTD 12 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was enacted in the U.S. Millions of Pennsylvanians depend on the ACA for health care coverage, to protect pre-existing conditions, and for substance use treatment. I’ll always defend access to health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania's teachers deserve more. I’m still fighting for an increase in minimum teacher pay to $45,000. The base salary for teachers has been $18,500 since the 1980s — that's an hourly wage of $8.90. This is more than unfair. It’s unjust. — PolitiTweet.org
