"Their lives remind us that freedom is not bought cheaply. It has a cost; it imposes a burden. And just as they whom we commemorate were willing to sacrifice, so too must we—in a less final, less heroic way—be willing to give of ourselves." - President Ronald Reagan #MemorialDay

The House State Government Committee today unanimously advanced my legislation to divest PA of Russian and Belarusian financial assets. The advancement of this legislation reflects broad bipartisan support for taking serious steps to marginalize Russia's geopolitical ambitions.
