Happy Veterans Day. To every veteran in Blair and Huntingdon counties: thank you for your service and your sacrifice. We owe you more than one day a year.

One-party control in Harrisburg = no excuses. I'll watch every dollar and push back on mandates that hit our small businesses.

Thank you, 80th District. Honored to serve a second term speaking for Blair & Huntingdon in Harrisburg. The work starts again now.

Central PA voters said it before Election Day: data centers pay their own way, ratepayers don't foot the bill, communities decide. That's HB 2372. Harrisburg, let's get it done.

VFWs. Fire halls. Small clubs. They aren’t casinos — and they shouldn’t get crushed just because Harrisburg won’t do the work of figuring out skill games.
October’s here. Prefer a permanent fix that protects the clubs that hold our communities together.

We forced the issue — and it worked.
House State Government just advanced the gift ban (HB 744) unanimous 26–0. No cash gifts. Tough limits on personal gifts.
Next: a full-House up-or-down. Public trust isn’t optional.

Data centers need clear rules. Communities need lasting tools.
My new legislation will allow communities to implement an impact fee on the electricity data centers use… so developers know the cost and municipalities know the revenue, year after year. More info to come!

Tonight 6:30–8pm | Blair County Convention Center
Informational session on data centers with Rep. Andrea Verobish.
Tools for residents. Local control. Transparency. Not about one project.
Livestream on our websites.

I joined Rep. Kathy Rapp and 84 House colleagues — 85 of us total — urging DOH to withdraw its Chapter 27 rewrite (IRRC #3490).
Parental notice. Medical privacy. No end-run around the General Assembly.
Withdraw it and work with the legislature.

Today in Harrisburg: Pennsylvania March for Life.
Stood for the dignity of every human life — born and unborn.
Proud to have stood with pro-life Pennsylvanians at the Capitol.

Altoona Area raised taxes 3% before Harrisburg locked school aid.
Late state money then flipped a shortfall into a ~$3.1M surplus.
Local boards shouldn’t have to guess because Harrisburg is late.

As much as our Governor likes to shift blame to the POTUS, the fact is electricity is expensive because of him and his Democrat underlings.

Parents — not Harrisburg — should be in the room when officials talk to kids about health.
Comment on DOH’s IRRC #3490 rewrite by Sept. 21: irrc.state.pa.us/contact/com…
Public health matters. Parental rights are non-negotiable.

The people back home have made it clear: protect their paychecks, control government spending, and unleash PA energy.
Harrisburg may not like it, but I don’t work for Harrisburg.

Pennsylvanians remember what unelected health bureaucrats did last time.
Shapiro’s DOH wants a 500-page power grab — more mandates and control over families.
We the Taxpayers didn’t send people to Harrisburg to rubber-stamp a sequel to the COVID 19 travesty.
Withdraw it.

Harrisburg doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem.
Central PA families balance their budgets. Our state government should too.
We the Taxpayers — not the tax-and-spend crowd — belong in the driver’s seat.

Scott Barger retweeted
In a 1970 interview, Paul Ehrlich stated: "The FCC should see to it that large families are always treated in negative light on television."
He added that if this approach failed, then the government should "legislate the size of the family" and "throw you in jail if you have too many" kids.

🎤 Boom. Mic drop in the PA House.
Rep. Scott Barger (R-80) took a stand against HB 1593 — the so-called “Universal Background Checks” bill.
When it comes to your rights, he made it crystal clear:
👉 “Shall. Not. Be. Questioned.”
