Groundbreaking of St. Katharine Drexel Place
It was an honor to attend the groundbreaking for the St. Katharine Drexel Place on Academy Road, a new affordable living facility for our seniors. We heard from legislators, stakeholders, and members of the Catholic Charities of Philadelphia on the investment this project will have for the future of our region. As the chair of the Senate Urban Affairs and Housing Committee, I believe that affordable and safe residences are the foundation of a strong community. I look forward to seeing the impact St. Katharine Drexel Place will have for years to come. Meeting with President of Republic of Kosovo
It was a privilege to meet the President of the Republic of Kovosa, Dr. Vjosa Osmani Sadriti, during her recent visit to the United States. Thank you to the Albanian American Association for including me in such a wonderful day! Presenting Citations for Officers of the Month
It was an honor to present citations to three Philadelphia Police Officers from the 15th District who were nominated as Officers of the Month. Officers Hamidu Tunkara, Abdel Kanan, and Brandon Bahadoor exemplify professionalism, courage, and resilience in their service to our community. Officer Hamidu Tunkara has distinguished himself through exemplary public service, problem-solving, and steadfast advocacy for citizens. Officers Abdel Kanan and Brandon Bahadoor displayed great courage while responding to a shooting incident on the highway at 6039 Torresdale Avenue. Their quick action and teamwork – including the use of recovered footage to coordinate efforts for the safe apprehension of the suspect, ensured the critical-condition victim was quickly transported to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital. We commend these officers for their service and sacrifice. Website Survey Results
