Happy New Year to You and Your Family On behalf of our grandson Mason and our entire family, Ann and I wish you and your family a year filled with prosperity, joy, and endless possibilities! Happy 2024! My offices will be closed on January 1st. Normal office hours will resume on January 2nd. 2023 Year in Review; Looking Ahead to 2024In the current session, legislative efforts focused on protecting jobs, building a strong energy sector, empowering families and defending freedoms. In the new year, we will continue to build on those efforts to improve our state’s tax structure; redesign our state system of higher education to better align degree programs with marketplace needs; modernize our workforce development laws; advance our broadband, water and transportation infrastructure; support mental health services; increase quality educational opportunities for all children; reduce government regulation; and push for more integrity within our election processes.
Safe and Responsible Energy Development; Grid Reliability Will Remain Key Focus in 2024Affordable, reliable energy is a must for a vibrant, growing commonwealth. As we have seen during recent years, the price of energy directly impacts all aspects of our lives and our economy. We will ensure our electric grid remains reliable, that all sources of energy are used to power that grid and Pennsylvanians are shielded from unreasonable environmental standards and regulations that will ultimately raise consumer costs and create an uncertain energy future.

The Senate passed legislation that is now law to preserve the availability of life-saving services for Pennsylvanians. It supports the 911 emergency communications service by reauthorizing a fee assessed to wireless lines. Costs for equipment, operations and new technology continue to rise, threatening the availability of these critical services. The reauthorization helps to offset operation and maintenance costs associated with the state’s emergency response infrastructure. The law has been extended until Jan. 31, 2029.
