In this Update:
Holy Family Fieldhouse Dedication
It was a beautiful day celebrating the new Holy Family fieldhouse! This is both an investment and a vital resource for Holy Family’s student athletes. It will serve a wide range of athletic programs and provide the space and support they need to train, compete, and represent this institution with pride. This project is more than a building – it’s about the future of this university. Facilities like these help attract and retain students, and make a lasting impact on the health, success and pride of this campus. DNA Collection Bill Clears Law and Justice Committee
This week in Harrisburg, the Law and Justice Committee advanced a piece of legislation I was proud to co-prime, Senate Bill 912. Senate Bill 912 would require the collection of DNA samples from individuals upon arrest for serious violent or sexual crimes, rather than waiting until after conviction. With recent technological advancements in non-invasive DNA collection, sample-taking would be no different than already-established processes for collecting an arrestee’s fingerprints. The bill also closes a legal loophole, clarifying that offenders of criminal homicide must have DNA collected like individuals convicted of felonies and other serious sexual offenses. Trunk or Treat!
We had a blast joining Chick-Fil-A’s Trunk or Treat this year! It was a great night connecting with our community and enjoying some holiday spirit. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to Chick-Fil-A who brought the event to life! Tuesday is the Deadline to Apply to Vote by Mail in the Nov. 4 Election
