Celebrating 251 years of courage, commitment, and service 💙 Thank you to those who have served, and happy birthday Army! 🎂

Happy 🇺🇸 Day!

On Friday, the Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association hosted their annual Flag Day Ceremony and I was honored to join DCVMA President Joe Daly, Vice President Ralph Galati, and many board members as well as the de Botton Family for this special program honoring all those who stood up to defend our national symbol and fight it and all we stand for as a nation.

Following the ceremony we joined Comcast Military for the flag retirement ceremony and under the watchful eye of Newtown Square Fire Company Chief and DCVMA Board Member Chris Young we properly disposed of, with honor, worn American flags while Taps was played by bugler extraordinaire Martin Holahan.

This is always such a special day for Delco and it was especially meaningful to me to celebrate with so many veterans and their families as well as the tremendous leaders from our communities. It was also an opportunity to announce the 2026 recipients of the DCVMA Freedom Medal.

On Thursday night, we welcomed Pennsylvania Auditor General Tim DeFoor and his team to Radnor Fire Company to discuss best practices for volunteer fire relief associations. We had a full house with representatives from over 15 local fire companies in attendance.

I really like AG DeFoor and his team. Did you know he is the first Auditor General who is actually an auditor by training? He has brought years of experience and best practices to this elected role and built an impressive team. As our volunteer fire companies work hard to serve their communities, it is nice to know they have the support of the Auditor General’s office to help them understand all the ins and outs of properly utilizing fire relief funds.

Thank you to RFC’s Brian Zimmerman and to Marie from my office for leading the charge on bringing this important and informative program to the district. Thank you AG DeFoor and your team for visiting the 168th and for being ready and able to assist our volunteer fire relief associations!

The latest edition of my e-newsletter just went out. It contains some personal news, as well as the usual updates about what my staff and I have been up to around the 168th, and legislation I'm excited we passed in the House this week because of the benefits it would bring to all of us -- especially when it comes to our health & financial security: https://www.pahouse.com/borowski/InTheNews/Correspondence/?id=144003

Join us tomorrow as the Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association celebrates Flag Day! It is always a wonderful program. Bring your old flags for retirement. Thank you to Comcast for always supporting this wonderful event as well as America250PADelco and Main Line Today.

See you tomorrow morning!🇺🇸

I’m excited to share the news that Wayne Senior Center is one of the senior community centers across PA that applied for and was selected to receive competitive grant funding through the Dept of Aging in its latest round of investments. These grants aim to help the to modernize their facilities and enhance the programs & services they offer.

The 168th ❤’s WSC (they’ve hosted many of our senior-centered events; we had a blast at the 50th anniversary celebration last year, and at their Prom, Wellness Fair, & more) and can’t wait to see how it puts this funding to use! The grant funding is appropriated by the legislature with proceeds from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

Today, I voted in support of the digital ad tax. PA is leaving millions of dollars on the table as one of the few states that does not have any form of digital ad tax. Meta, Amazon, Tik Tok and the like are curating your preferences and using it to advertise to make more money, off you! There is a lot we could do with an added revenue stream including lowering property taxes for seniors!
