Honored to join America250PA for the unveiling of two “Bells Across PA” installations in Butler County! 🔔
As part of Pennsylvania’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, artists from across the Commonwealth were invited to design unique, three-foot fiberglass bells symbolizing our shared history and pride.
Thank you to Experience Butler County for sponsoring the bell by artist Paula Slomer, which will be displayed at the Butler County Courthouse, and to FirstEnergy for sponsoring the bell by artist Tom Panei, which will be located at the Cranberry Township Municipal Center.

What an incredible moment in Ellwood City history! Last week, at Lincoln High School, they unveiled a time capsule from 1925 — and I was honored to contribute. I placed a state friendship pin and a letter into the new time capsule that the Class of 2125 will someday open.
A huge thank‑you to everyone who made this possible — the school staff, students, and community volunteers. I especially want to thank Ellwood City Area Historical Society and Bob Morabito for preserving our shared history and standing with us at the ceremony.
Here’s to 100 years of memories — and to all the future generations who will one day read our story.

Today is Small Business Saturday! 🛍️
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities — supporting local jobs, families, and economies. Pennsylvania is home to more than 1.1 million small businesses, employing 2.5 million people across the Commonwealth.
This holiday season, I encourage everyone to shop local and support the small businesses that make our towns special.
