Thank you to all who participated in my Town Hall meeting last evening in Oliver Township, Jefferson County. I greatly valued hearing your concerns and thoughts on numerous matters, including energy independence, EMS & First Responder support and protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights. This conversation about issues impacting our local communities and state offered important perspective as we work together to strengthen Pennsylvania.
A special thanks to Oliver Township Volunteer Fire Department for their hospitality and use of their facility. I appreciated Jefferson County Commissioner Scott North, Mayor Alexander from Punxsutawney and staff from PA State Rep. Brian Smith`s office for taking the time to attend as well.

It was my great honor to attend and participate in a Peace Officer service held at the Indiana Fire Association, White Township station this week. We can never repay our debt to the officers and families who paid the ultimate sacrifice. However, we can show our deepest appreciation for their selfless sacrifice and continue to pay tribute in their memory.
I am always humbled by the many and great sacrifices made by all police officers who protect and serve our communities and residents.
