Back to 2020? Not without a constitutional debate!
A day later, I’m still thinking about the sea of people that filled the Capitol grounds for the March for Life.
There are moments when a crowd itself tells the story. Yesterday was one of them.
Looking across the Capitol and seeing so many Pennsylvanians gathered for the unborn was powerful. The pro-life movement is not fading away. It is showing up. It is speaking out. And it is standing for those who cannot speak for themselves.
What an incredible sight in Harrisburg.
Every life is worth defending.
🚧 ROUTE 30 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE — FRANKLIN COUNTY
PennDOT will begin the first stage of a $4.67 million bridge replacement project on Route 30 (Lincoln Way) over Rocky Mountain Creek in Greene Township.
Beginning Monday, October 5, shoulder reconstruction will take place on eastbound Route 30 between Route 997 (Black Gap Road) and Golf Course Road.
⚠️ Motorists should expect lane shifts and flaggers assisting traffic through the work zone as needed on weekdays this fall.
Early next year, the project will move into its second stage, including additional lane shifts, barriers and a truck detour using Routes 997 and 233. Two 12-foot travel lanes will remain open through the work zone.
The project includes a new bridge, shoulder and approach work, guiderail upgrades and other improvements, with completion expected by November 2, 2028.
Please use caution, slow down and give our road crews room to work safely.

I support using technology to help law enforcement catch criminals - but I also believe we must protect the privacy and constitutional rights of innocent Pennsylvanians.
