It’s great that PA is getting attention from Hollywood and the film industry - unfortunately we are still not as competitive as we could be especially compared to NY & NJ. I am proud to support legislation sponsored by @Rep_ADC to expand the film tax credit at the state level.

I want to extend a huge congratulations to the members of @502Casa for earning an updated contract. The School District has made consistent progress over the past few years, and our school administrators are the backbone of it all. Congratulations! https://t.co/19TteyQlVc

As Philadelphia enters the culinary world stage in receiving 3 @michelinguide Star and prepares for 2026, strengthening our nighttime economy is paramount! Thank you to @prlaorg for bringing this issue to my attention and for working on the solution with @PHLCouncil

Today in @phlcouncil, we amended legislation I previously introduced to protect restaurants from Third Party reservation scalpers, which were scooping up restaurant reservations and leaving dining rooms empty on what should be busy nights.

Yesterday we held another meeting of the Education Committee’s Higher Academia Task Force. With the state of higher ed in limbo, we must do everything we can as a region to uplift institutions, ensure they are serving Philadelphia’s learners, and can chart a sustainable future.
