@SenatorPicozzi & I visited the Mayfair Business Improvement District to review how local partnerships successfully breathed new life into the area. policy.pasenategop.com/argall-picozzi…

Senate Bill 780, which I was proud to sponsor, has passed the Senate. It gives communities and local governments real tools to address nuisance encampments and protect the health, safety, and dignity of our neighborhoods.

Honored to welcome the inspiring young women of Keystone Girls State to the Capitol. Their passion for civic engagement shows that you don’t have to wait until adulthood to make a difference—our communities need young voices now more than ever.

Commemorating Juneteenth—a day to reflect, remember, and honor freedom.

Honored to visit the Delaware Valley Veterans Home. Grateful to the offices of PA State Rep. Joe Hogan and PA State Rep. Martina White for sending staff to join us as we met and thanked the heroes who call it home—men and women whose service continues to inspire us.

Looking forward to the upcoming Five Points Night Market as part of this year’s Wawa Welcome to America celebration. Grateful to work with @RepBellmon @SenTartaglione and @July4thPhilly to secure funding to bring this event to Cottman & Rising Sun on June 26 from 5–9 PM.

It was an honor to welcome Trey Howard and his family to the Capitol. His courage and resilience exemplify the spirit of the Great Northeast.

As chair of the Senate Urban Affairs & Housing Committee, I was proud to lead our first meeting this session. Cities are drivers of economic and cultural growth and addressing the critical challenge of rising housing and rental costs is essential to supporting families across PA.

Honored to rise in the Senate to recognize 11-year-old Trey Howard—whose courage in the face of tragedy reflects the best of Northeast Philly. A true hero.

SB 780, the Unauthorized Encampment Bill I introduced this week, has cleared committee— a step toward safer, cleaner communities.

Honored to welcome the Scouts of America to the Capitol today. No organization shapes young leaders quite like Scouting. It gave me the tools to grow, serve, and lead—and it’s doing the same for the next generation.

We’ve been working on proposals to make SEPTA safer, more reliable and accountable. Read more: palegis.us/senate/co-spon…

I’m proud to announce the introduction of a companion bill in the Senate to the VICTIM Act, which creates a grant program for local police to hire and retain detectives and invest in better technology. Thank you @RepBriggs and Rep. Kerwin for introducing this bill in the House.

Thank you, Holy Family University for inviting me to speak at your Class of 2025 graduation—an inspiring day with an incredible group of future leaders.

Thank you to everyone at Greenberg Elementary School for inviting me to take part in their annual color run. It was a lot of fun and a great reminder of how special your school community is.

Honored to welcome State Rep. Joe Hohenstein and Jane Golden, Executive Director of Mural Arts Philadelphia , to our Parkwood office. We talked about the impact of public art as a way to show care for a neighborhood.
