Working mom, PA State Rep for the 184th District from #SouthPhilly, & Chair of House Energy Committee. Was a reporter at @WHYY for a decade covering politics 🔎
Public space is crucial for our communities. Since taking office, I've helped bring in over $3.6 million to revitalize parks, rec centers, school courtyards, and more. This week, I'm happy to announce SPRING, my initiative to bring more state dollars back to the district.
While Trump caters to Big Tech, it's up to states to act on AI and data centers. I spoke with Joel D. Smith on @FaceTheStatePA to share what we're doing in the PA House Energy Committee and beyond to make sure families and working people are protected from Big Tech's overreach.
We don't know if AI spells the end of humanity, but we know this: the Pennsylvania PUC just last week warned of massive blackouts by 2030 if we don't rein in the energy demand from data centers. See the full interview at: piped.video/watch?t=503&v=W0…
Over the last 10 years, the Philadelphia Energy Campaign from @philaenergy has meant $2.4 billion of economic impact across PA, 11,000+ new jobs created in Philly, and $1.4 billion+ in energy savings for the City and our residents. Congrats to PEA on this milestone!
The Philadelphia Energy Campaign set out to demonstrate that a #cleanenergy economy could make life more affordable, boost economic opportunities, create healthier communities. Today we're celebrating a decade of accomplishments. This is energy that moves #Philadelphia forward.
Congrats to Allegheny Valley School District on today's news of their Solar for Schools award! The project is estimated to save over $80,000 a year - those energy savings can be used for teacher salaries, classroom materials, facility upgrades, and more.

The PUC issued a dire warning this morning about the outlook of PA's energy future. As Chair of the House Energy Committee, I propose a new vision: more renewables, a modernized grid, investment in battery storage, & efficiency measures to manage demand. My full statement below:
Yesterday, the PA House of Reps gathered in Philadelphia for a special session at Congress Hall to honor America's 250th - of course I wouldn't pass up a chance to use SEPTA to get there!
"Fourth graders built solar-powered bugs, and fifth graders built racer kits in the school's cafeteria while learning about renewable energy." - I love this! S4S is not just about cutting costs, it's an educational tool, and a sign of hope for whole generations of students.
A gorgeous morning at Philly’s annual Labor Day Parade. Generations of workers fought for the protections we have today. We honor their victories by continuing this fight until all people have safe working conditions, fair wages, and dignity for our labor.
Big Tech like to play by their own rules, hurting their customers and clients in the process. But with bold policy like my Digital Ads Tax bill and increased oversight over tech's unchecked power, we can balance the playing field in PA.

So happy to see Solar for Schools being celebrated by the Shapiro administration at Steelton-Highspire, a school district that has paved the way for school solar in PA.

Superintendent Slade spoke in Harrisburg this spring about the impact that Solar for Schools funds will have on continuing their district's solar investment for decades to come.

In remembrance of the first documented enslaved Africans arriving in America, dozens gathered at the President’s House Site at Independence Mall in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

I will never support a union-busting company, especially not when its unionized workers have been fighting for a contract for YEARS! No Starbucks for me, at my events, or in my office until Starbucks workers get the contract they deserve. #BoycottStarbucks
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott.
Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
America’s unions are proud to endorse @SBWorkersUnited’s boycott of stand-alone corporate Starbucks stores.
Workers are fed up with unchecked corporate greed, and we’re standing with them in their fight for a fair contract.
No contract? NO COFFEE! ✊

Congratulations to the recent graduates of WINC! 🎓
This achievement is a reflection of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to growth. Wishing each graduate continued success as they take what they’ve learned, embrace new opportunities, and step confidently into their next chapter.
Clean energy was instrumental in preventing black outs and helping our region get through the recent heat waves. Solar and wind energy is supporting the grid at record numbers and keeping the lights on when we need it most. Read more here- canarymedia.com/articles/gri…
When electric prices rise, it impacts everything: the cost to operate grocery stores, retail shops, restaurants. Those expenses get passed onto customers, but who profits? Utility companies - in the billions. I spoke with Liz Marx of Public Utility Law Project about why that is.
Everyone deserves affordable, reliable energy. I introduced a bill this year that would create a fairer standard for utility shareholder profits. I'm also working in the House Energy Committee to lower costs for everyone by getting more cheap, clean energy on the grid.
More good Solar for Schools news is rolling in! The latest awardees of Solar for Schools grants span from Southeast to Central PA. Applications for year two of funding are still being accepted - schools can head to pahouse.com/fiedler/solar4sc… to learn more. dced.pa.gov/newsroom/shapiro…
