The suspect charged in the fatal home invasion stabbing of a Pittsburgh pediatrician had a lengthy criminal history โ and was free on a no-cash bond at the time of the attack.
@KellyRaeReports, an investigative journalist, whistleblower, and former Allegheny County bail investigator who spent 14.5 years inside Pennsylvania's criminal justice system, joined our members to advocate for HB 2856, legislation that would strengthen the bail process to protect all Pennsylvanians.
House Democrats refused to take up the legislation.
Today is National First Responders Day, where we recognize the outstanding work the brave men and women do to protect our families, neighbors and communities.
We are fortunate to have so many dedicated individuals serving our Commonwealth. Thank you for your service!
Rep. Natalie Mihalek discusses her bill that will protect boaters from unseen low head dams.

HB 961 was passed with no opposition in both the House and Senate and was signed by Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Families are already struggling with the rising costs of groceries, utilities, and everyday necessities.
The last thing they need is another unexpected property tax increase making it harder to afford their homes.
Our 10-bill affordability package is a forwardโlooking strategy to foster longโterm prosperity across Pennsylvania.
No one should be violently attacked when we have the ability to keep that attacker behind bars.
Our legislation would strengthen restrictions on bail for defendants charged with violent offenses. It would ensure that protecting the community is central and that bail is denied when no release conditions can reasonably protect the public. โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
Our judicial system can no longer be a revolving door for violent criminals.
This legislation will empower our judges to prioritize public safety.

State government should make it easier to put down roots in PA and affordability package is a meaningful step in the right direction. When families have more room in their budgets, they can buy a home, to pursue an education, or to retire with confidence.
Our Growth and Affordability Plan gives Pennsylvanians more freedom to build their future here.
The recent murder of UPMC Children's Hospital pediatrician, Dr. Idris Evans, has exposed a simple truth about the Allegheny County bail system - there is no one looking out for victims.
Rep. Mihalekโs legislation would require a complete and current criminal history report, including PA, out-of-state and federal records, be obtained and provided to the judge or magisterial district judge before bail is set or modified.

$1 billion in scholarships with no cost to the taxpayer is sitting on the table waiting for one signature.

Itโs time for Pennsylvania to opt in.
ALT Rep. Martina White speaking at Opt In for Education Freedom press conference about Pennsylvania unlocking $1 billion in scholarships through the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit.
If Pennsylvania wants to remain competitive with neighboring states, reducing our gas tax, which is one of the highest in the nation, should be a part of that conversation.

Logan Mihailoff, a junior at Camas High, switched from the boys' cross country team to the girls' team midseason.
The switch sparked outrage among parents and students. Almost half of the girls competing in Tuesdayโs race walked off the course in protest of the biological male's participation.
The girlsโ decision was supported by their parents, many of whom attended the race with signs calling to keep men out of women's sports.
โYou hear about it, but you just never think it's going to be on your kid's small cross-country team.โ
Mihailoff has run in boysโ races as recently as last month, finishing 76thย out of 301 runners.
But over a month later on October 10, 2026, Mihailoff ran in the women's elite race at the Nike Hole in The Wall XC Invitational in Arlingtonโฆplacing 2nd.
