Weekly Update |
Before heading back to D.C. this week, I headed to a batting cage near my house to get a few practice swings in before the big game this week! This week marked the 9th annual Congressional Women’s Softball Game, which is a competitive softball game between one team composed of female members of Congress versus the D.C. press corps. I’m the only left-handed softball player on the Congressional Team, so I wanted to make sure I practiced on my own before the big day!
While I’m disappointed to say the Congressional Team did not win this year’s game, a greater purpose was served in raising funds for the Young Survivor’s Coalition. Be sure to check out photos from the event below! Another significant milestone was reached this week, as the House Energy & Commerce Committee passed a landmark bipartisan mental health reform bill. This legislation passed out of committee 53-0, which now means its ready to be considered before the full House of Representatives for a vote. This is a giant step forward to providing hope for those suffering from mental illness. Read more about this legislation, H.R. 4626, by scrolling down below.

Appreciation Luncheons and Capitol Tours |
Showing appreciation for our ??First Responders?! A representative from my office attended the Morrisville First Responders Thank You Lunch on Tuesday where Firefighter of the Year Lucas Scott, Officer of the Year Felecia Sykes, and others were honored. It was great seeing former intern, Reagan Warren, and her mom this week and helping them with a tour of the Capitol, including this great photo with friends on the speaker’s balcony. |
