LETTERKENNY ARMY DEPOT - SUPPORTING OUR WARFIGHTERS & FRANKLIN COUNTY
My team and I, along with Senator Scott Hutchinson, recently had the opportunity to visit and tour Letterkenny Army Depot, one of our region’s most important employers and a critical part of our nation’s defense industrial base.
The numbers tell an impressive story:
🔹 Nearly 40% of Letterkenny’s workforce are veterans
🔹 Approximately 440 subcontractors support its mission
🔹 An estimated $280 million annual economic impact
🔹 More than 18,000 acres and approximately $5.3 billion in infrastructure
🔹 The second-largest employer in Franklin County
But Letterkenny is about much more than numbers.
Its skilled workforce provides electronics, welding, engineering, machining, fabrication, advanced manufacturing, material preparation, supply and transportation, and power-generation expertise in direct support of America’s warfighters.
Letterkenny is also investing in the next generation through programs focused on hiring, training, and developing the skilled artisan workforce needed for future modernization efforts.
Its expertise in air and missile defense and precision fires makes Letterkenny an indispensable part of Army readiness and our national security.
I am proud to have this extraordinary installation—and the thousands of dedicated men and women who support its mission, right here in Franklin County.
Supporting Letterkenny means supporting our local economy, our veterans, our warfighters, and the defense of our nation.

AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READERS & YOUR PRIVACY
Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are increasingly being used in communities across Pennsylvania. These systems can be valuable tools for law enforcement - but powerful technology requires clear safeguards and accountability.
We can support law enforcement AND protect the privacy of law-abiding citizens. We should insist on both.
That is why I am introducing legislation to establish reasonable safeguards governing the use, retention, access, and sharing of ALPR data in Pennsylvania.
Public safety should not require Pennsylvanians to surrender their constitutional liberties. We can give law enforcement effective tools while ensuring that innocent citizens are protected from unnecessary surveillance and misuse of their information.
Protect public safety. Protect our privacy. Protect our rights.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Happy Anniversary to my beautiful bride. Looking back, I could never have imagined the journey God had planned for us—twelve moves, years spent around the world, long separations, joyful reunions, and a lifetime of adventures. Through every chapter, your love, faithfulness, and steadfast heart have been my greatest blessing. Thank you for walking this incredible road with me. I love you more today than the day we said "I do." Here`s to the years ahead. ❤️ #throwbackthursday

Remembering August 26, 2021
On this day, we remember and honor the lives lost in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021.
We remember the 13 U.S. service members who made the ultimate sacrifice, along with the Afghan civilians who were killed that day.
We remember their families, their friends, their brothers and sisters in arms, and everyone whose lives were forever changed.
May we never forget their names, their sacrifice, or the lives they left behind.
Gone, but never forgotten. 🇺🇸🇦🇫
