📣 Congratulations to Surrey Services for Seniors on opening their new center in Middletown Township this past week. It’s a great addition for older adults here in Delaware County, offering a welcoming place to stay active and connected.

💙 Thank you to Surrey for the work you do every day for our older residents. Your work makes a real difference across our community.

🚦Last night, my Chief of Staff, Sara McCullough, joined Rep. Leanne Krueger and the office of Rep. David M Delloso in Ridley Township to highlight $399,918.50 for traffic signal upgrades at Fairview & Jefferson, near the Woodlyn Pharmacy and Fairview Plaza.

👏 Thank you to the Hocker family, pictured advocating for additional safety upgrades at MacDade Blvd & Morton Ave. Liz — mother of 17‑year‑old Damien Hocker, who was tragically killed in 2024 a few blocks from this corridor — has been a driving force for safer roads. Her advocacy, along with Ridley Township Board of Commissioners, continues to push meaningful safety improvements forward.

📢 HELPING SENIORS STAY CONNECTED TO SEPTA

Rep. Lisa Borowski and I are joining forces to make it easier for seniors in our community to get — or renew — their SEPTA Senior Key Card.

Whether you’re applying for the first time or your card is nearing expiration, staff from both of our offices will be on hand at the Newtown Public Library on September 28 to help you complete the application.

Once submitted, SEPTA mails the new card directly to you within ~2 weeks.

📢 Excited to announce over $4.1M in new Victim of Crimes Act (VOCA) grants supporting victim services across the 26th District — expanding crisis counseling, child advocacy, elder abuse prevention, and legal assistance for families in need. These investments strengthen the network of providers who help survivors heal and stay safe.

Nice work, Marple! Kudos to the Township of Marple for getting ahead of the data center issue with a smart zoning ordinance that sets real guardrails for future data center applications.

⚡🚗🔌 Curious about EVs but haven’t had the chance to get the inside scoop from those familiar with driving electric?

📅 Tomorrow night (Wed., Sep. 23, from 5–9 pm), the Electric Vehicle Showcase comes to Media Borough's Dining Under the Stars, at State & Jackson Streets, where 15 electric models will be on display—from BMW and Fiat to Lucid, Harley Davidson, Chevy and Toyota. As an EV family driving a Volkswagen ID.4, we’re glad to help spotlight the growing community of Delco residents who drive an electric or hybrid vehicle.

📍I hope you can stop by, talk with those knowledgeable about EVs and enjoy one of the final Dining Under the Stars this year.
