Please join me in welcoming Caleb Campbell who is completing an #internship in my Indiana district office!

Caleb is from Indiana, #Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Indiana Area Senior High School. He recently finished his sophomore year at The University of Alabama where he is pursuing a bachelorโ€™s degree, majoring in #economics and #history. He is a member of the Alabama Menโ€™s Club Crew Team and has also served as a research assistant compiling vehicular crash data and variables, such as the safety components of different vehicle models. 

Caleb is a great addition to our team, and we look forward to the contributions he will make in helping to serve constituents this summer!

Thank you to #students from Homer-Center Senior High School and Ligonier Valley High School who stopped by my Harrisburg office as part of the American Lung Association Advocacy Day. We discussed the Clean Indoor Air Act, tobacco prevention measures, and addressing youth tobacco use . We also talked about the importance of safety on the roads, as many of these young men and women are starting to drive in an age with a significant number of distractions. 

#Pennsylvania needs our next generation to engage in learning about the legislative process. It was great to see familiar faces, as many of the students also participated in my Student Government Seminar last month!

The argument last week in front of the Supreme Court made it clear the Commonwealth #court was right when it said RGGI is unconstitutional. Once the Supreme Court rules on this issue, we will then be able to have serious discussions on the future of energy advancement in our Commonwealth. 

I look forward to the Supreme Courtโ€™s swift decision so we can quit wasting time on unnecessary lawsuits and focus on implementing strong energy policies to benefit #Pennsylvania #families and businesses.

Meet Joe Pittman

I have called Indiana County home all my life and live there with my wife, Gina (DiMaio), and our four children: Joe Jr., Sam, Rosie and Frannie. I am thankful to my parents, John and Mary Ann (Yevchak), for instilling in me the values of God, family and country, and teaching me the importance of community service. It is an honor to serve the 41st Senatorial District and Iโ€™m proud to work with my colleagues to strengthen our commonwealth by protecting jobs, empowering families and defending our freedoms.
