His legacy will live on through the impact of his work, including his prime-sponsored bills that are now law: Act 6 and Act 57 of 2024. Our thoughts, prayers and all the support we can offer are with his wife, Holly, and their children.

And who could forget “Flat Gergely,” who showed up in the district when Matt had to be in Harrisburg? Matt fought hard for his community as a state representative, bringing resources back to his district and championing critically important issues.

Our hearts are hurting as we mourn the loss of Rep. Matt Gergely, alongside his family and friends. Matt was a treasured member of our delegation - there to offer support, advice or a quick joke when needed and, of course, always sporting an impeccable choice of footwear.

My bill to exclude savings bonds from PA seniors' income when determining eligibility for state prescription programs passed the Senate and now moves to @GovernorShapiro to be signed into law!

This was a surreal moment for me to introduce @BarackObama 🤯
Former President Barack Obama arrives at Kamala Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood. This is a Black Voters for Harris event. A crowd of 40 in a tight space is buzzing

Honored to participate in the men for reproductive freedom panel discussion with @DrArvindVenkat @tonygoldwyn @ZacharyQuinto James Byers & Josh Zurawski. Government should not be in the business of regulating wombs. This is one of the many reasons I’m supporting @KamalaHarris

One candidate understands the 12P’s and the other didn’t and it showed. Those so called “sorority parties” paid off 🤭

I led a #CalltoVote event yesterday alongside local officials and state colleagues at the county courthouse. I cannot overstate how essential voting is to the democratic fiber of our country, and I'm committed to doing all I can to keep elections free and fair.

My House Democratic colleagues and I met with Allegheny County officials to discuss the importance of incarcerated individuals being able to vote. The right to vote is a beacon of hope, reminding us that every voice matters and that redemption and civic duty are intertwined.

$47.6B bipartisan budget #letsgoooo
I was proud to cast a “yes” vote for the new state budget, which I believe can be a game-changer for how we fund our public schools, invest in job growth, and boost our local economies. pahouse.com/abney/InTheNews/…

Excited to pass my HB 2378 from the Aging & Older Adult Services Committee today. This bill would allow Pennsylvanians 65+ to exclude the principal & interest accrued from the savings bonds in the eligibility for our PACE & PACENET prescription drug programs #seniors #policy

Our job as legislators is to make sure our children have a quality education that is accessible to all students. That's why I voted yes on fairly funding all of our public schools, because it's our duty to our children. youtu.be/ZUEKt147LkQ

I've always wondered what it was like for K. Leroy Irvis to become the first Black Speaker of any state House in the US. I was honored to speak at an event today to kick off the @PALegBlkCaucus Speaker K. Leroy Irvis Legislative Days of Action. youtu.be/_Rffe6phC6k

The face you make, when @PAHouseGOP continues to accuse undocumented immigrants of taking and not contributing to the growth of #Pennsylvania
