"Their lives remind us that freedom is not bought cheaply. It has a cost; it imposes a burden. And just as they whom we commemorate were willing to sacrifice, so too must we—in a less final, less heroic way—be willing to give of ourselves."

The PA House of Representatives unanimously passed my legislation to divest Commonwealth investments from financial assets of Russia and Belarus and prohibit future investment in the financial assets of these countries.
Simply put: This is the right thing to do.
The House State Government Committee today unanimously advanced my legislation to divest PA of Russian and Belarusian financial assets.
The advancement of this legislation reflects broad bipartisan support for taking serious steps to marginalize Russia's geopolitical ambitions.
"[W]e can not only backfill the loss of oil and gas products coming from Russia domestically but also allow our European allies to reduce their reliance on Russian natural gas."

My heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and fellow State Police Troopers of Trooper Mack and Trooper Sisca who were killed this morning.
Their tragic deaths are a reminder of the risk and sacrifice made by law enforcement.

This effort would expand upon Act 44 of 2010’s divesture of the State Treasury and pension funds from investments related to Iran and Sudan.
We have a moral obligation to ensure that our public fund investments are not inadvertently supporting those who are engaging in an unprovoked invasion of their democratically elected neighbors.

But I think it is time we start moving beyond symbolism and get to concrete action with what Pennsylvania can do to hold Russia accountable and apply pressure to stop this attack on the innocent people of Ukraine as well as the viability of Eastern Europe.

Clearly the people of PA stand with the people of Ukraine and against this unprovoked Russian aggression. Over the weekend, the Liquor Control Board pulled Russian-made vodka from its shelves, something I commend, and the Capitol was lit with the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

I will be introducing legislation to divest the Commonwealth’s holdings in the State Treasury and pension funds from investments that are connected to the Russian government and its critical supporters.
