🔵 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons – July 30
Today we stand united to raise awareness of a dark and devastating global crisis: human trafficking.
Millions of men, women, and children are exploited every year—robbed of their freedom and dignity. Trafficking happens in every country, including right here in Pennsylvania. It`s a hidden crime, but its impact is real.
👁️🗨️ Let us commit to shining a light on exploitation, protecting the vulnerable, and holding traffickers accountable.
✝️ "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…" – Proverbs 31:8
We must be vigilant, informed, and unafraid to act.
📱 If you suspect trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888

As a Senator, a father, grandfather and a servant of the people of Pennsylvania, I am outraged and heartbroken that a convicted child sex offender was able to gain custody of a child through what appears to be a loophole in our legal system. This is a grotesque failure that demands immediate action — and I am fully committed to seeing that justice is served.
Since this disturbing case came to light, I have been in constant communication with Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill, as the individual involved resides in her district. Her office has been actively engaged with concerned parties and stakeholders. Together, we are working to ensure that every authority is doing its part to protect this child and uncover exactly how this could happen.
While the immediate threat to this child is being addressed, I am already drafting legislation to close this loophole so that sick, perverted individuals can never again exploit flaws in our legal system to gain access to innocent children. This is absolutely unacceptable — and we are going to fix it.
My number one priority will always be the safety and well-being of God’s most precious gift — our children. The people of Pennsylvania can rest assured that I will not stop until every safeguard is in place and every child is protected from predators who seek to do them harm.
You have my word — we will act, and we will act swiftly.
It was my honor to award Pennsylvania Freedom Medals to Brian Fickel, Jeff Hanks, and Mike Mara during the VAEP Committee Hearing at the Army War College in Carlise. Their remarkable contributions truly embody the spirit of service and sacrifice that these medals represent.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with Nate Richards and his friends to explore their innovative ideas for future community projects. Their passion and creativity inspired me, and I believe their vision has the potential to make a significant impact in our community.
