Governor, @GovernorShapiro, why are you ignoring the voices of students on public education? Our future is at stake. It's time to listen and take action! #SupportOurStudents #EducationMatter

PA House District 12 Rep. Brandon Dukes (D) erroneously claims that charter schools are not public schools and shouldn’t receive public dollars.
Ridiculous. You likely represent hundreds of charter school families in your district. Talk to them.

🚨🚨Gov. Josh Shapiro started a federal PAC 🚨🚨

We complain about politicians, but we keep letting them make decisions without us.
Are parents part of the problem or the solution? 🤔

Josh Shapiro is the highest paid governor in the country, taking an annual salary of $253,870.
Yet @GovernorShapiro is now running an ad that starts with complaining how Stacy Garrity is one of the highest paid state treasurers.
Really?

School choice changes lives, and the roots of the movement are grounded in serving students with special needs.

One hundred percent!!
Fortunately, we have found an excellent school choice option that works with families instead of shutting them out of education.
My kids will be independent well before graduation.

@PASenateGOP has prevented bills such as HB 1422 of 2023, HB 2370 of 2024, and HB 1500 of 2025, which would flat-fund cyber charters and impose crippling mandates, from reaching Shapiro’s desk.
If the Senate Dems had the majority, these bills would’ve passed.

Nov. 3 is a turning point in the Commonwealth of PA: do we give the Democrats the power to strip PA’s children of all educational choice (even public options, such as charters), or do we keep the firewall that is the PA Senate Republicans?

That fire in Bloomfield today was at the home of the very talented Tom Savini.
He’s an icon and a legend in the field of horror films, prosthetic makeup, special effects, etc. He’s also an incredible photographer.
Let’s hope all ends up ok for him and his family.

Please pray for my good friend Jim @Malliard
His wife just passed away and he is now a single dad. My heart goes out to the Malliard family. Love you, brother. Holler if you need anything whatsoever.

The hardest seasons of life often reveal our greatest source of strength.
For me, it's simple:
My family is my strength.
I wrote about how they've shaped my life, leadership, and purpose.
Who or what gives you strength when life gets difficult?
