The obvious result of that is an impending energy shortage. Learn more on my website, link in bio.

Today is the 2024 Primary Election! Whatever your party or political leaning, please get out and vote. Check your polling place location on the Department of State’s website.

As we head into the 2024 election cycle, the success we are celebrating in this photo is a good reminder that we can and should work together. The future of our state depends on our ability to build consensus, reconcile differences, and find common ground to get good work done for Pennsylvanians.
I am proud to have worked with @senhughesoffice, @governorshapiro, @pheaaaid, and countless others to get high-quality teachers into Pennsylvania classrooms.
We have 10 years to build more power plants that can produce the amount of energy Americans use daily. If we can’t meet this goal, rolling blackouts & limitations on when / how you can use electricity in your own home will be our reality. Learn more on my website, link in bio.
