I had some help as I was back in Harrisburg this week, and he was eager to tell you about it. For the latest updates from Harrisburg and back home, like Nico told you, follow me on social media or sign up for our weekly email newsletter at pasenatornick.com/subscribe

Policies like the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit that I’ve fought for with @governor.pa.gov and @lgaustindavis.bsky.social are putting money back in the pockets of the people who most need it. We’re working to make life more affordable and strengthen the economy in the Mon Valley and across PA.

The state budget affects your daily life, from the roads you drive on to the schools your children attend. That's why I'm excited to hear @governor.pa.gov's commitment to invest in our public schools, strengthen our infrastructure, and make Pennsylvania more affordable for working families.

I was in Harrisburg this week for a budget hearing with the Senate Appropriations Committee. This first step in the budget process helps guide legislators as we work to negotiate a budget that funds everything from schools to public transit to senior services here in Allegheny County and across PA.

Happy Fish Fry Friday! This week my team and I visited a bunch of fish fries all over the area, make sure you check them all out this Lenten season! 🐟🍟🍴

One of my top priorities is to make sure you have access to the services you need close to where you live. My satellite office at the Plum Borough Library is open to assist you with state services from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM Mon-Fri, with extended hours until 6:00 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Today is the start of my favorite time of the year: Fish Fry Season. I stopped by West Wilmerding VFD for an excellent fish sandwich with Rep. Markosek. Be sure you get out there over the next few weeks to support our fire departments, churches, and other community organizations.

There is a lot of untapped potential and value in the Mon Valley community. I recently joined Allegheny County Economic Development on C&G Strategies's podcast to talk about our work on Mon Valley Forward, the plan we're building to strengthen economic competitiveness in the Mon Valley.

This weekend, I dropped by Oysterfest hosted by Rogue BBQ under the Homestead-Grays Bridge in Homestead. Always great to support local businesses and community events! Do you have an event coming up that I should know about? Let me know 👇️

The price you pay for a loaf of bread shouldn't depend on when you go to the grocery store and it shouldn't change between getting the loaf off the shelf and getting to the checkout. I've introduced legislation to ban this practice, known as dynamic pricing, for essential goods like eggs and milk.
