It was my privilege to speak to the attendees of the 106th American Legion Convention. What a great group of people! Together, we are making a difference for our Pennsylvania veterans!
I was truly honored to address the 106th Pennsylvania American Legion Convention in Harrisburg. Together, we are making remarkable strides in support of our Pennsylvania veterans, and I am inspired by the collective efforts of this incredible group. Let`s continue to unite and create positive change for those who have served our nation!
🚨 National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month 🚨
Every day, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, tow truck drivers, and highway workers put their lives on the line to keep us safe along our roadways.
Far too many are injured—or killed—simply doing their job on the shoulder of a highway.
That’s why I authored Pennsylvania’s “Slow Down, Move Over” law—to protect those who protect us.
⚠️ The law requires drivers to:
🔹 Slow down when approaching an emergency response area
🔹 Move over to a non-adjacent lane if safe to do so
🔹 Face enhanced penalties for violations, especially if someone is hurt or killed
This month, let’s raise awareness, drive responsibly, and save lives.
💛 If you see flashing lights ahead—slow down, move over. It’s the law.

I had the honor of presenting former Gettysburg Police Chief Rob Glenny with a Pennsylvania Freedom Medal and a Certificate of Recognition. He embodies the values of virtue, freedom, and independence. Thank you for your many years of dedicated service to Gettysburg!

Throwback Thurs - Doug goofing off with German kids who came over to trade for MRE`s during REFORGER 1988 in Bavaria #ThrowbackThursday
I was proud to lead the charge on Senate Resolution 116, urging Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102)—and it passed unanimously in the Senate.
Our medically retired veterans shouldn’t have to choose between retirement pay and disability benefits. They’ve earned both.
Let’s honor Major Star’s legacy and do right by those who’ve sacrificed for our nation.
