It’s Time to Move On

On Tuesday I announced my retirement from the Pennsylvania State Senate as of February 28. I have been thinking about this for quite a while and decided that it was time for me to move on. While I won’t miss the political wrangling that went on in the Capitol, I will miss the people that I have had the honor and privilege to see and work with during my 19 years in office.
