Accomplishments
During the 2023-2024 session of the Pennsylvania State Senate, I independently authored Senate Resolution 143. I led research efforts on key issues for Senator Kane and staff, drafting original cosponsor memos and legislation. I also updated and recirculated cosponsor memos from prior sessions. Through mastering the LDP online system to efficiently circulate memos, draft, and submit legislation, I had my bill introduced with co-sponsorship from a chunk of Senators and even leadership. I advocated for and took meetings with staff and legislators even after my internship had ended to get the ball rolling. It now sits in the House of Representatives on third consideration.
