When NEPA residents run into problems with federal agencies, our office is here to help. We helped a Tamiment constituent recover more than $20,800 in IRS tax refunds and got a Plymouth corrections officer his DD214 within 24 hours so he could move forward with his military service retirement buyback. These are real results for people across Northeastern Pennsylvania. If you're having trouble with a federal agency, our team is ready to help.

Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating Perry Hoffpauer’s 89th birthday at Glenmaura Senior Living in Moosic. We’re grateful for the chance to honor Perry, an Army veteran, with a Congressional coin and celebrate this special milestone with him. Happy 89th, Perry! https://t.co/b9Q3es4RdB

Fentanyl is devastating families and communities across Pennsylvania. We need to crack down on traffickers, support law enforcement, and expand access to treatment. I’ve supported legislation to combat fentanyl and secured over $1 million for the Monroe County DA’s Opioid Crimes Section to fight drug-related crime and prevent overdose deaths. Thank you to Attorney General Blanche for coming to Northeastern Pennsylvania to discuss this crisis and how we can work together to save lives.

A law school in Northeastern Pennsylvania means more opportunities for our students to earn a quality education and pursue a career close to home. Investing in education helps build a stronger workforce, supports our local economy, and gives the next generation more reasons to stay and put down roots in NEPA. I’m glad to see Misericordia University helping make that possible.

Seniors should not have to wait on paperwork to get the care their doctor prescribed. I’m proud to cosponsor the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act and fight for faster decisions and a modernized prior authorization system for Medicare Advantage. https://t.co/t4vHrlOcce

Our Director of Outreach, Leo, joined Enhanced Hearing Specialists for their ribbon cutting as the Cillo family celebrated new ownership of the Dickson City practice. It’s great to see a Pennsylvania family come home, invest in our community, and continue serving families across NEPA. Welcome home, Cillo family!

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
