Senate Republicans have blocked countless measures to improve the lives of Pennsylvania's families for far too long. Measures to increase pay, reduce costs, expand opportunities, and grow our economy have languished in committee due to Senate Republicans' inaction.
It's time to fall back! Make sure you set your clocks back one hour as we mark the end of Daylight Saving Time.
Happy Halloween! Make a plan to GO VOTE! If you have a mail-in ballot, take it to a ballot return location ASAP. If you're voting in-person, make sure your plan to vote on Nov 3 includes confirming your polling place, selecting a time, and securing transportation.

Law enforcement officers (uniformed or plainclothes) must remain 100 feet from polling place entrances. Local peace officers, called constables, may be uniformed and are allowed at polling places.

I was honored to visit Tronix3D today to celebrate their expansion right here in Allegheny County! The Senate Democratic Caucus has been keenly focused on growing PA's economy and investing in industries like technology and robotics that allow our commonwealth to forge ahead.

We're looking forward to seeing what Tronix3D accomplishes with this new expanded space!
Make a plan to return your ballot if you still have one at home. Once you've filled it out completely and followed the instructions on the outer envelope, take it by hand to a ballot return location. Ballots received after Nov 3 will not count no matter when they were postmarked.

Eight years ago today, we suffered the deadliest act of antisemitism in American history when a killer entered Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh while people prayed and murdered 11 of our neighbors.
It’s been 2,922 days since the attack, but the pain still lingers in our Commonwealth. Today we offer prayers of comfort to those touched by this violence.
Let today be a moment for action, remembrance, and resolve to combat antisemitism in all forms.
May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger forever be a blessing.
