Today's attack on Temple Israel, a synagogue in Michigan, is horrifying. Everyone has a right to worship in peace without fear of violence and bigotry. I am praying for all those affected and am thankful for the quick response from law enforcement and first responders.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Lima Estates town hall! I appreciated the opportunity to discuss constituent concerns about the status of the war in Iran, voting and disability rights, and excesses in immigration enforcement. Your input is essential as I represent the voice of PA-05 in DC.
