The communities in my district have a long history of illness caused by contamination by under-regulated industries. I will always fight to make sure that the families in my neighborhood have access to clean drinking water!

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending Riverfront North Partnership’s Fish Fest at the Frankford Boat Launch. I joined Councilmember Mike Driscoll and folks from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. It was a fun day along the river that included free kayaking, fishing, and many other activities. Thank you to Riverfront North for putting on this wonderful event that encourages folks to use our rivers and how to be safe while doing so!
