The #PASenate has taken decisive action to crack down on violent #Crime and the #fentanylcrisis, by passing key legislation to keep dangerous criminals off the streets.

PA Senate Republicans are leading efforts to keep communities safe by making sure violent criminal defendants – like those who assaulted law enforcement or possessed 10 or more grams of fentanyl – can’t be released without bail. Senate Bill 490 passed the Senate and awaits action in the House.

Demolition of the former Homer City Generating Station last month marked the end of an era. The news today of a new and innovative data center being brought to the site in Indiana County is truly historic and incredibly exciting. This $10 billion capital investment will bring 10,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent jobs that will be housed at the Homer City Generating Station property. This will be the largest capital investment ever to be brought to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

Our region has a long and storied history when it comes to the production of electricity that has powered not only this commonwealth, but the entire nation. Over the last several decades we have no doubt seen production of electricity in our region undergo a significant transition, which has had a substantial impact upon our local communities, labor employees and their families. 

This development is great news not just for Indiana County, but quite frankly for our entire region and our commonwealth. I am very proud to represent the community that is going to host such a tremendous economic engine for generations to come.

I had the pleasure of welcoming & introducing Elizabeth Polenik to the PA Senate. Elizabeth – also known as ‘EV’ is the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Area II Champion. 

EV is ten years old and began #wrestling last year under the direction of Jesse Garshnick at the Lion’s Den and United Elementary where she attends school. EV medaled in every tournament she attended (22 to be exact) and came in 3rd at the Keystone State Championship qualifier. She also was awarded 'First Year Wrestler of the Year'. 

Joining EV for the Capitol visit were her parents, Thomas and Anne Polenik, her brother Tom and her grandmother, Beverly Bonya. Congratulations and best wishes to EV for continued success!

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 I’m proud to work with my colleagues to strengthen our commonwealth by protecting jobs, empowering families and defending our freedoms.
