Approximately 445,000 seniors and people with disabilities in PA rely on Medicaid to help afford their Medicare expenses, including premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
I have spoken a lot recently about the impact that President Trump's Big Ugly Bill will have on our community. Cuts to SNAP assistance, Medicare and Medicaid, community health programs and more are not just theoretical, they have very real consequences.
Brandywine Valley Active Aging has operated in Coatesville and Downingtown dating back to the 1970's and provides emergency rental assistance, food services, and one-on-one support to seniors.
It is critically important that we protect federal funding for these programs and volunteer our time with local chapters when we're able.

Programs like Meals on Wheels provide a vital service for our community. Not only do they deliver hot meals, but are a consistent smiling face and a potential lifeline for many people that are homebound.
Even without direct cuts, flat federal funding acts like a reduction due to inflation and rising food prices. Meals on Wheels providers are already losing money on every meal served, and budget constraints could lead to waitlists or fewer delivery days.
A separate $145,000 cut to Local Food Purchase Assistance means fewer fresh, local ingredients from Chester County farms. That’s a double hit: seniors lose access to nutritious produce, and local farmers lose income.
Chester County Food Bank, which supplies ingredients to Meals on Wheels and other programs, has lost an estimated $250,000 in USDA food deliveries, including staples like milk, cheese, and eggs. This forces nonprofits like theirs to dip into limited reserves or reduce services.
I had a great experience joining Meals on Wheels of Chester County for a day of service to our community, but couldn't help but remember the reality of our situation:
When I was active duty in the Air Force, one of my favorite volunteer opportunities was with Meals on Wheels: serving people who are homebound, regardless of age or income, with hot lunch five days a week.
I had the privilege to visit a number of organizations impacted by The Trump Administration's slashing of resources and I look forward to sharing their stories with you.
This administration has made no secret about wanting to dismantle access to all of this. But I am proud of the amazing community organizations and programs that do so much good for so many of us.
This week in PA-06, we're talking about healthcare in all of its different forms. Mental health, physical health, emergency response needs, and the importance of programs like Medicaid and Medicare that allow people to receive necessary care and lifesaving services.
Investing in our communities means helping our businesses expand manufacturing capacity, recruit and train a skilled workforce and support a steady and rational tax and economic strategy. When we work together, we all come out ahead.
about manufacturing in PA-06, the importance of a skilled workforce, operating in uncertain economic times, and even affordable housing needs in the area.
Last week I visited Spanco which has been manufacturing cranes and lift solutions in southern Berks County for decades. I talked with them and executives of their parent company, Promise to Perform,
Last month, as the Chair of the @newdems.bsky.social Economic Growth & Cost of Living working group, I co-led the release of a pro-business tax framework supporting incentives for domestic research and development, manufacturing, and intellectual property creation and retention.
Because of the Trump Administration's tariffs, business like theirs are facing uncertainty about what the next quarter will bring. It's customers, suppliers and the 400+ employees at the Morgantown facility need certainty, not chaos.
I headed over to Morgantown to tour Viwinco's manufacturing facility and its impressive research and development lab. The company sources materials from across the world to manufacture windows and storm doors here in Berks County.
