More than 300 people participated in the shredding and drug take-back event I hosted last weekend, and more than 166 pounds of drugs were collected. Thanks to each person who made the event such a success.

On June 25, I joined Gov. Tom Wolf as he signed a U.S. Defense Department Employer Statement of Support for more than 1,300 Pennsylvania National Guard members and reservists who work for the Commonwealth. The statement encourages employers to act as advocates for employee participation in the military because supportive employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation’s Guard and Reserve units. .
