Our disabled veterans shouldn`t lose access to assistance because of the benefits they earned through their service.
During the 2023–2024 Legislative Session, I introduced SB 126 (Act 27 of 2024), which protects disabled veterans by ensuring their disability benefits are not counted as income when determining eligibility for certain state assistance programs.
It`s one more way to honor the sacrifices of those who have served our nation.
Our veterans deserve the very best care and a voice in the places they call home.
During the 2025–2026 Legislative Session, I introduced SB 129 (Act 20 of 2025) to strengthen oversight of Pennsylvania`s state veterans` homes by giving residents and their families a stronger voice in improving the care and services our veterans receive.
Caring for those who served our nation will always be one of my highest priorities.
When a veteran passes away, their family shouldn`t have to wonder what benefits they may be entitled to.
During the 2025–2026 Legislative Session, I introduced SB 130 (Act 42 of 2026) to help ensure families are informed about the VA burial benefits their loved one earned through military service.
It`s a simple change that helps honor our veterans by making sure their families receive the benefits they`ve earned.
Today, on Assyrian Martyrs` Day, we remember the countless Assyrian men, women, and children who lost their lives because of persecution and violence.
May we honor their memory by standing for religious freedom, human dignity, and the right of all people to live in peace without fear of persecution.
We remember. We honor. We will not forget.

On August 7, 1942, U.S. Marines landed on Guadalcanal, launching the first major Allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II.
The Guadalcanal Campaign became a turning point in the war, marked by extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and determination. Today, we honor the brave Americans and Allied forces who fought to secure victory and defend freedom.
We remember their service. We honor their sacrifice.
