My office held a College Resource Fair to help students connect with local universities and learn about financial aid. I also answered questions about my own career journey that led to me becoming Speaker. Thanks to Nichole from my office for organizing and to George for being a panelist!

Rep. Kulik paved the way for women Representatives in Western Pennsylvania, and we're so thankful for all her contributions as Chair of the House Game & Fisheries Committee. Congratulation and all the best in retirement #MadameSpeaker

Just 24 HOURS LEFT: Chair Omar Sabir, Sen. Anthony H. Williams, Rep. Regina Young and I want to remind you that TOMORROW at 5PM is the deadline to request a mail ballot. We’ll be gathering at 6100 Woodland Ave. tomorrow at 9 a.m. to urge everyone to act!

This is an important message: Tomorrow at 5 p.m. is the deadline to apply for a mail ballot in November’s election! Request your mail ballot at vote.pa.gov TODAY OR go in person to your local election office! Get your ballot, fill it out and turn it in on the spot.

Good morning and happy Sunday! Honored to begin our final session day this past week in prayer! Praying for you and your family today! Many blessings! May we be the light in the darkness everyday! #PrayerTime #LetsPray #MadameSpeaker #PaHouse #PowerofPrayer

Fall calls for some home-cooked comfort food!🍁 What’s your go-to dinner? I made some chicken with sweet potatoes and corn for a healthy and filling meal 🍲 #MadameSpeaker #OkChefJo #HealthyEating

Meeting with community groups, celebrating retirements, signing bills— it was a busy week in Harrisburg! Grateful for the opportunity to learn from and connect with the Pennsylvanians I am privileged to serve 💙

Sometimes one little change can make a BIG difference. The House passed a bill allowing Pennsylvanians with communication barriers to voluntarily add a designation to their driver’s license helping make interactions on the road a little easier to navigate. #PAHouse

Making communities safer ✅ Championing women's health ✅ Standing up for students ✅ House Democrats delivered for working Pennsylvanians this week, and I was proud to sign the bills proving it! 🖊️ #MadameSpeaker #BillSigning #PAHouse

Yesterday, Rep. Andre Carroll created "Kada Scott Day." The #PaHouse offered our deepest condolences to her parents and family. Kada was a Penn State graduate and a Miss Pennsylvania competitor who had her own clothing brand. She was a beautiful, creative and multitalented young woman.

In the wake of this tragedy, I encourage everyone to learn the signs of domestic violence and take action if you think a friend or family member is in danger. Get help at 1-800-799-SAFE 👑♥️🙏🏾✨🌻

Meeting with community partners and welcoming guests to the Capitol is such a rewarding part of being Speaker! It was great to see so many old friends and new faces this week in Harrisburg. These connections are what make our Democracy strong! #MadameSpeaker #SessionWeek

This week, we bid a fond farewell to colleagues who are wrapping up their time as State Representatives. I'm highlighting 3 of our Chairs, who are retiring after decades of service, starting with Rep. Mary Jo Daley, Chair of the Tourism & Economic & Recreational Development Committee.

Safe schools = students who can focus on learning. 🏫 The House passed legislation requiring schools to consider panic alarm systems during their annual security assessments. Another step toward safer classrooms across Pennsylvania. #PAHouse #MadameSpeaker

This week, we celebrated three years of the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus. Three years of advocating for the equal care that all moms and babies deserve. Three years of working to turn the tide on maternal mortality rates among Black women.

I am proud to stand with my #SisterReps Chairs La'Tasha Mayes, Gina Curry and Morgan Cephas in fighting for Black moms and babies in Pennsylvania, today and every day.

AI can do a lot. But making unchecked decisions about your healthcare shouldn’t be one of them. The House advanced legislation to put safeguards around how AI can be used in healthcare. Technology is changing and we’re making sure protections keep up. #PAHouse

Reflecting on our historic PA House session at Congress Hall, I’m reminded that democracy isn’t just inherited. Each generation has a responsibility to participate. Pennsylvanians, make your voice heard. 🇺🇸 Check your registration at Vote.PA.gov. #MadameSpeaker

In our roles as moms, sisters, daughters and caregivers, it can be too easy for our own health to slip through the cracks. But my fellow #SisterReps are fighting for PA women and have some important reminders to share about taking care of yourself. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Know your rights and know your resources. I caught up with PHRC Interim Executive Director Amber Harris to talk about how the commission protects Pennsylvanians from discrimination in housing, education, employment and public accommodations. If something doesn’t feel right, the PHRC is here to help.

Today, we honor 251 years of courage, service and sacrifice. ⚓🇺🇸 Happy Birthday to the U.S. Navy and thank you to the sailors, past and present, who have served our nation since 1775. #USNavyBirthday #USNavy #MadameSpeaker

Good morning from Mr. Cakes! ☕️ He’s stopping by with a few updates from the district office, including our third Friday food distribution and a preview of what’s coming for October Harvest Fest. #WestPhilly #CommunityResources #MadameSpeaker

Nothing makes us prouder than seeing our PA House alumni thrive! 🎓 It was great catching up with Dola, who spent a summer with us and has since earned his master’s in Sports Management. His advice to students: stay focused and keep going, you’re almost there! 💪🏾 #PAHouse
