I’m voting for @KamalaHarris for many reasons: her record, her policy agenda, her character.
But most importantly, a vote for #HarrisWalz is a vote to preserve democracy. #WereNotGoingBack

Black music has shaped culture, inspired generations, and continues to influence every corner of the entertainment world.
This month, as we celebrate Black Music Month, and my Resolution recognizing Walter Reeder, Jr. I’m sharing a few of my personal music favorites!
A special shoutout to my colleague, @CMThomasPHL for his leadership around Philly Music Month, and to all of our talented local musicians who make Philadelphia’s music scene so unique.

The affordability & cost of living crisis feels like it's only been getting worse lately. Local & state legislators can't control what goes on in Washington, but we can make bold decisions here at home in Philadelphia & PA. Eager to see legislation like HB2224 passed.
Pennsylvania households cannot handle another rate hike. Today, the House Consumer Protection, Utilities, and Technology Committee voted out the Return on Equity bill with BIPARTISAN support! This bill w/ @RepBurgos is one step in making life more affordable for working families.
.@RepFiedler joined @DriscollForPHL and I's hearing in @PHLCouncil on rising utility costs last month to showcase the important legislation moving through the PA House Energy Committee and how the city & state can collaborate to lower costs for ratepayers. whyy.org/articles/philadelph…

Wishing the LGBTQ community a happy - and safe - Pride month.
Philadelphia Freedom Schools is hiring Academic Advisors!
This is a great opportunity to support and uplift students while making a real impact in our community. If you or someone you know would be a strong fit, be sure to apply and share this opportunity.
It was a pleasure to join Bishop Mary Floyd Palmer on @WWDB_AM_860 to discuss the city budget, which @PHLCouncil gave preliminary approval on last week, with NO new taxes!
Thank you to Bishop Palmer for having me on to break down the budget!
Constituents have consistently asked elected officials to make government more efficient. Legislation like HB1646, introduced by @AndreDCarroll, are a step in the right direction. Cleaning up procedural hurdles help government work better for the people and small businesses.

A balanced, no-new-tax budget delivering for Philly investing in schools while protecting working families. Grateful for Council’s collaboration and committed to long-term solutions for our students and neighborhoods.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Thursday’s rally.
This plan needs compromise. We’re asking to revisit it and address the remaining gaps. My colleagues and I will continue advocating for a stronger, more thoughtful plan for our students.
