As we close out #WearOrange weekend, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who works towards community safety every day. Gun violence cut too many lives tragically short, but there are incredible local leaders and educators who are helping people choose peace.
I was so honored to present a Senate Citation to Betsy Wolf upon her retirement after 48 years at Forest Hills Nursery School! The depths of her care for our community's children seem to know no bounds. Congratulations on a very well-deserved retirement.

Donald Trump is screwing our farmers, our grocers, and our families, and not a single Republican has even tried to stop him. This cruel recklessness must end. www.post-gazette.com/business/pit...
My colleagues and I in the Senate Democratic Caucus are working to ensure that successful community safety programs have the funding they need to continue the critical work of meeting people where they are, but we can't stop there.
