There's Still Time to Strengthen Pennsylvania's Election Process

As we approach the 2024 Election, Pennsylvania remains a critical swing state for the Presidential Election. The Pennsylvania state legislature must take decisive action now to strengthen our elections and prevent similar delays in election results reporting like we saw in 2020. I partnered with the Bipartisan Policy Center to discuss pre-canvassing, preparing mail-in and absentee ballots for tabulation before election day, and why it's more important for election success than ever before.

There is less than two weeks remaining for my Winter Collection Drive! The drive is still in need of kids winter clothes, toiletries, underwear & undergarments for all ages, socks, new or gently used winter coats and winter shoes, and small toys.

Happy Hanukkah!

Tomorrow begins the first night of Hanukkah. To all who celebrate, may this Festival of Light bring you and your family health and happiness this holiday season!

Be Aware of Holiday Scams

Pennsylvania’s Attorney General recently issued a warning to Pennsylvanians about scams that typically ramp up during holiday season and how to protect yourself and your personal information from being stolen. The most common scams include email and text phishing, delivery stealing, and credit card skimming. The AG’s office recommends setting up email or text alerts from your credit card company or bank, so you’re alerted to all purchases made. Never open any text or emails from unknown senders and don’t click on links sent to you from unknown addresses. It is also recommended to never use your home’s smart device like Alexa, Siri, or Google Home to find a customer support number for any company.

Anyone who believes they may have been scammed should file a police report and file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General on their website, emailing [email protected], or by calling 1-800-441-2555.

Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program Reminders

Older adults and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply to the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program on an annual basis. To apply for rebates on your property taxes and rent paid in 2022 you have until Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023, to submit the application.

Pennsylvanians 65 and older, widows and widowers 50 and older, and people with disabilities 18 and older may apply. And starting next year, the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program will be expanded to make nearly 175,000 additional Pennsylvanians eligible, and the maximum standard rebate will be increased to $1,000.

You can either file online through myPATH or print and submit a paper application through the mail. If you have questions about the application process or need an update on your application, please contact my office by calling 484-200-8263.

Please continue to stay safe, healthy and well-informed.
