Dear John, happy Father’s Day!

Today, we honor the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and father figures who pour their strength, wisdom, and unconditional love into our families and communities every single day.

Whether you're offering guidance at the dinner table, cheering from the sidelines, or quietly making sacrifices behind the scenes, your impact is immeasurable.

Let us also remember those for whom this day may bring mixed emotions. To those who are missing a father or navigating fatherhood in challenging circumstances, know that you are held in love and community. 

Today, I am thinking of my dad, Paul McClinton Sr., and the love and guidance he provided throughout my life. Dad, I hope they have PCN in heaven. 

May your day be filled with the family you love and special memories of celebration. 

With gratitude and admiration,

 Rep. Joanna E. McClinton
 Speaker of the Pennsylvania House
