FreightCar America pulled out of Johnstown for lower wages in Alabama, then went to Mexico AFTER getting $10 million in Paycheck Protection Program. Every penny of that loan should be repaid & used to help companies that actually care about U.S. workers. https://t.co/iJUtOJIK0C

I've always said that I'll support good ideas no matter which party they come from, so I've asked Biden to continue the tariffs on steel that Trump put in place. I think we can all agree that keeping good-paying American jobs helps everyone. https://t.co/3ZzjC3nNfr
I'm calling on the legislature to go back into session THIS WEEK to override the Governor Wolf's veto so parents can watch their child play this Friday night. https://t.co/k4pNboWbpM
I'm wise enough to accept that medical experts know better than the PA legislature when it comes to COVID-19. I agree with Dr. Fauci that science and data should determine when we reopen the economy, not politics. https://t.co/zmxOxEg2Hq
When my father passed on, he was able to continue helping those who needed it by being an organ donor. It was amazing to see all the great work being done at @COREDonateLife in Pittsburgh and I would encourage everyone to be an organ donor and give the gift of life! https://t.co/0f9E5mR8zM
Gov. Wolf owes every business owner and taxpayer in Cambria Co a better explanation as to why Centre County with more cases can reopen while Cambria County is left shuttered. I will continue to demand answers of the Wolf admin on behalf of our area. https://t.co/IBloE9z3cd
I voted to allow our local schools to make their own decisions on spectator sports. Governor Wolf: sign the bill already so parents can watch their kids play. https://t.co/t4BigpbaG2
Today I sent this message to the PIAA, urging them to allow schools to make their own decisions about fall sports based on local conditions. We've seen too many 'one-sized fits all' declarations that just don't work. https://t.co/35tN9B6BWe
I presented Saint Francis University with a $500,000 grant to expand its health science program. SFU is an asset to our region as they prepare students for careers in the medical field. https://t.co/aMCqsq3d2W
Weve flattened the curve but businesses are still closed. Tonight I voted yes to end the disaster declaration & reopen the economy before its too late for many small businesses. https://t.co/Qw6IGDDb0s
