Brian and AmyBeth Hodges were true heavy hitters during the Reopen movement in the COVID era, standing strong for small businesses and fighting to keep their B&B, the Brafferton Inn in Gettysburg, open during an incredibly difficult time.
They didn’t back down when it mattered most. They spoke up, supported fellow business owners, and stood firm in defense of their livelihood and their community.
Today, Brian and AmyBeth remain a strong conservative voice in Gettysburg, continuing to advocate for the values they believe in and the community they care about.
Thank you, Brian and AmyBeth for all that you do!
I had the pleasure of welcoming 4th graders from Bermudian Springs as they toured the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg.
Experiences like this help spark curiosity, civic pride, and a deeper understanding of our shared responsibility as citizens.
Thank you to the students, teachers, and chaperones for taking the time to visit — the future is bright!
March 25 – Greek Independence Day
Today we celebrate Greek Independence Day, honoring the courage and determination of the Greek people who rose up in 1821 to secure their freedom after centuries of Ottoman rule.
March 25 marks the beginning of Greece’s struggle for independence and stands as a powerful reminder of the enduring values of liberty, national identity, and self-determination.
We recognize the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Greek people and celebrate the strong bonds between Greece and the United States.
Χρόνια Πολλά! (Happy Independence Day!)

Pennsylvania drivers continue to pay one of the highest gas taxes in the nation, and families are feeling the strain every time they fill up.
With rising costs for groceries, utilities, and everyday essentials, Pennsylvanians deserve meaningful relief at the pump. Hardworking families, commuters, truckers, and small businesses depend on affordable fuel to keep moving.
It’s time to take a serious look at Pennsylvania’s gas tax and prioritize solutions that provide real relief to the people who power our Commonwealth.
Pennsylvanians shouldn’t have to choose between filling their tank and paying their bills.

Dave Bonhoff, a former Baltimore County police officer, and his wife Kim, who served as a dispatcher, have dedicated much of their lives to public service. Recently, Dave made the decision to leave his position as a school bus driver in Littlestown after choosing not to remove his MAGA hat, standing firm in what he believed was his right to express his views.
In support of her husband, Kim also chose to leave her job as a school bus driver with the same bus company, standing alongside him during this time.
Regardless of where people stand politically, their story highlights the challenges that can arise when personal beliefs and workplace expectations intersect.
Thank you to Dave and Kim for their years of service and dedication to their communities.
