For too long, elderly Pennsylvania homeowners have carried the heavy burden of property taxes—paying year after year on homes they already own.
That’s why I support proposed property tax elimination legislation that will provide real relief to hardworking families, seniors on fixed incomes, and homeowners across our Commonwealth.
No one should have to worry about losing their home because they can no longer afford rising property taxes.
It’s time to put homeowners first and deliver meaningful, lasting tax relief.
In the near future, I intend to introduce legislation entitled The Sam Worley Elderly Tax Relief Act, which will provide meaningful and long-overdue property tax relief to long-term elderly homeowners in Pennsylvania.
For decades, many of our senior citizens have faithfully paid property taxes while contributing to their communities and strengthening our Commonwealth. Yet as property taxes continue to rise, many seniors living on fixed incomes face growing financial pressure that threatens their ability to remain in the homes they worked a lifetime to own.
This legislation is designed to recognize long-term residency, encourage housing stability, and provide financial relief to elderly homeowners who have demonstrated sustained commitment to their communities.

Patient Right to Understand Act Press Conference
Every patient deserves clear, honest, and understandable information about their healthcare—especially when facing important medical decisions.
Grateful to all who are working to protect patient rights and strengthen trust in our healthcare system.
What an honor to be a part of this incredibly important event.
Dr. Chaminie Wheeler and Dr. Greg Wheeler continue to be a strong voice for patients and families, working tirelessly to ensure individuals have the right to understand their healthcare and make informed decisions.
The work of We the Patient is making a real difference by promoting transparency, education, and patient empowerment.
Grateful for leaders like both Dr. Chaminie Wheeler and Dr. Greg Wheeler who are committed to improving healthcare for communities across Pennsylvania!
We mourn the loss of Kevin L. Brehm, 60, of East Berlin, who passed away suddenly in the line of duty, on April 9, 2026.
Kevin dedicated his life to serving others as an EMT and first responder with Dover Area Ambulance Club and North East Adams County Fire & EMS. His passion for helping people and his commitment to his community will never be forgotten.
It was a fantastic day welcoming this amazing group for a tour of the Senate Chamber!
I appreciated the opportunity to share the history of the chamber and spend time with such a dedicated group advocating for patient rights and understanding in healthcare.
Thank you for your commitment to empowering patients and families across Pennsylvania.
It was a privilege to attend Shen Yun, a powerful presentation that brings to life thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture through breathtaking dance, music, and storytelling.
Beyond its beauty and artistry, Shen Yun also shares the history of a culture that has faced suppression under the Chinese Communist regime, including the persecution of people of faith and those seeking to preserve traditional beliefs and practices.
Many of the artists of Shen Yun cannot freely perform in China today because of these restrictions—making their mission to preserve and share traditional culture even more meaningful.
It was an inspiring afternoon that combined artistic excellence with a reminder of the importance of faith, freedom, and cultural heritage.
