Another horrific event -before gaveling out of an evening legislative session tonight, every Senate Republican voted against my amendment to HB2032 which would have established a statewide rape kit tracking system. HB2032 only required a study of rape kit tracking #PABudget (1/5)
We don’t need to study rape kit tracking - WE NEED TO ACTUALLY TRACK RAPE KITS SO SURVIVORS HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR EVIDENCE AND RESULTS. But the Senate R’s said nah, let’s just study it - that helps victims, right? #SurvivorsDeserveJustice#PaNeedsCleanedup#PABudget (2/5)
My amendment included the language of my SB860 and @RepMcClinton's HB1848 which would empower victims, increase transparency and give victims timely access to their evidence & updates on their cases. (3/5)
My amendments to help PA residents continue to fail without a single R vote. And yet banning books & don’t say gay bills were the Majority party priorities last week so they could run attack ads and spew lies against Ds on the ballot in November #PABudget#PaNeedsCleanedUp (4/5)
Tomorrow is another session day -- the PA Senate returns at 9 a.m. and the PA House returns at 11 a.m. Maybe we will finally see the #PABudget bills??? Wanna tune in to check out your tax dollars at work? Watch live at pasenate.com/session/ (5/5)

It’s my hope that we’ll be able to work with management to achieve that goal of giving the best care we can."
