I didn’t take a paycheck during the last shutdown, and I am not taking one now. Members of Congress should lead by example — if federal workers aren’t getting paid, neither should we.

One of the greatest parts of being your Representative is getting to meet the first responders in our community and thank them personally for their service.
On National First Responder Day, and every day, I want to extend my sincere thanks to those who keep our community safe.
A huge thank you to Director Karen Barsoum and the entire CCVS team for their commitment to our democracy! 🇺🇸
Last week, I stopped by Chester County Voter Services to thank the incredible staff preparing for the upcoming November 4th election. These dedicated public servants work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our elections run smoothly, securely, and fairly.
I joined 200+ fellow members of Congress, calling on the Trump Administration to release these vital funds to states immediately.
Because no one should go hungry — not here, not ever.
SNAP is a lifeline for families, veterans, seniors, disabled people and children across America. It should never be used as political leverage.
They CAN find $40 billion for Argentina and $178 million for luxury planes — but not enough to feed 42 million Americans. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a moral one.
We have the money. The Republican Party just doesn’t have the will.
SNAP has a $5 billion emergency fund — money Congress set aside for crises like this. With planning, the administration could’ve ensured families weren’t left with nothing.
The Trump administration says it can’t make SNAP payments because of the shutdown — leaving 42 million Americans at risk of going hungry.
But that’s a choice, not a constraint.
A quick reminder for Pennsylvania voters: tomorrow is the deadline to apply for an absentee or mail-in ballot for the November election.
If you plan to vote by mail, visit the website on the graphic to request your ballot and make your voice heard.
This Thursday, October 30, we will join @RepDanWilliams office in Thorndale to chat with constituents and answer questions about state or federal government.
Hope you'll stop by!
Reminder: Tomorrow at 10:30 AM I am hosting my 3rd annual telephone town hall on Medicare and healthcare.

They are asking for help in their investigation so if you were at Lincoln and have information or video from last night, please contact the team working on this at 1-800-CALL-FBI
I am so sad for the families, students and university community who are living through this and ask everyone in our district to hold them close today. I’m grateful to the first responders and law enforcement officers who responded so quickly.
Homecoming celebrations were interrupted by gunfire last night at Lincoln University. One person has died and additional victims are in the hospital.
We cannot trust the President to tell us the truth–whether it's about the East Wing, the economy, our alliances or our national security.
We certainly can't trust him with our healthcare.
You can join by phone or by visiting houlahan.house.gov/live
I will be hosting my 3rd annual Medicare/healthcare telephone town hall on Monday, October 27th at 10:30 AM. Joining me are members of the Chester County Health Department and the Chester County Department of Aging Services to help any questions you may have on PA MEDI and other programs.
William Penn envisioned a land free of tyranny. A place where government worked by, for, and with the people that it served. In 1682, in his newly founded city of Philadelphia, he wrote that "no one can be put out of his estate and subjected to the political view of another, without his consent."
This shutdown isn’t just about politics. It’s about the dignity and safety of our elders. I won't stop fighting for them.
