It was an honor to be invited to speak to the volunteers for Clean Water Action - Pennsylvania during their annual Lobby Day at the Capitol yesterday!

The communities in my district have a long history of illness caused by contamination by under-regulated industries. I will always fight to make sure that the families in my neighborhood have access to clean drinking water!
