Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Before I begin, I want to acknowledge the tragic situation that unfolded in Lebanon on Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, this is the second week in a row that Pennsylvania suffered the loss of brave law enforcement officers. Shelley and I send our deepest sympathy and prayers to the family of fallen Lebanon City Police Lieutenant William Lebo. Lebo was a 40 year veteran of the force and was just one month away from retirement.

Additionally, we send our prayers to the two injured officers, Ryan Adams and Derek Underkoffler, their families, and the entire Lebanon City Police Department. This sad event is a stark reminder of the sacrifices our brave men and women in law enforcement make daily. After another event, I was able to stop in Tilden Twp, where fire trucks displayed the American flag over I-178, and pay respect to Lt. Lebo as his funeral procession made its way from the Lehigh Valley Hospital to Lebanon. It was inspiring to see so many stop to pay their respects and share their gratitude for Lt. Lebo's service.

I also want to thank Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf, Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello, and our other dedicated public servants who are supporting our brave men and women in blue. Law enforcement is the thin blue line that protects our communities. Even in the face of losing one of their own, the Lebanon City Police Department and their brothers and sisters in blue are on the job, serving and protecting, no doubt with very heavy hearts. Their shared commitment to their duties deserves our appreciation. On Saturday, I stopped in Lebanon County to meet with our elected officials and offer our support for their efforts. The 9^th District is home to some of the greatest Pennsylvanians in the commonwealth, and Lebanon County represents some of our finest.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

First and foremost, Shelley and I want to extend our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Pennsylvania State Troopers Martin Mack III and Branden Sisca. These brave officers were tragically killed in the line of duty. Every day, thousands of brave men and women in law enforcement make sacrifices to protect and serve their communities.

This is a horrific tragedy. Our police officers regularly risk their lives to protect our safety; they deserve our full support now and always. This is a tremendous loss for our Commonwealth.

Good morning and welcome to our Weekend Update.

First, I want to express my deep appreciation for your support in helping our campaign secure our position on the ballot in the 9^th Congressional District. We are the only Republican candidate on the ballot. I don’t take this level of support lightly, nor the responsibility you have placed in me. We are committed to implementing an America First/Pennsylvania First agenda that puts the concerns and needs of the working families residing in our district at the forefront.

While much of the attention is focused on the news of the day in Washington, and rightfully so, we are working just as hard for you at home. We recently announced funding for several critical projects across the District, including funding for critical infrastructure and projects for educational institutions to help expand important programs that are preparing individuals for family-sustaining careers.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

The nation's attention remains focused on Russia and Vladimir Putin's continued invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine continues to show unbelievable resilience against an overwhelming Russian force. President Zelenskyy has proved to be an example to the world for his bravery and passion in the face of a tyrant hellbent on destroying Ukraine. Putin's actions are egregious as his forces have taken to despicably attacking women and children. 

I joined Fox Business Tonight to discuss President Zalenskyy's requests for additional support from NATO and the United States. While the Biden administration continues to show weakness, the answer is strength. The only one who should be fearful is Putin. He should be concerned that his vaunted military is not performing very well. The United States must stand with Ukraine. I am pleased that we have finally banned U.S. imports of Russian oil. America's national security is directly impacted by our nation's ability to be energy independent. Click here or below to watch my interview.

Last night, with a unanimous vote, the Republican Party of Luzerne County endorsed Congressman Dan Meuser for re-election in Pennsylvania’s 9^th District. Congressman Meuser has represented the 9^th congressional district for over three years in Congress.

POTTSVILLE - Incumbent Republican U.S. Congressman Dan Meuser’s campaign released the below list of endorsements from state and local elected officials and grassroots leaders as he seeks re-election to the 9^thCongressional District.

“Over the past three years, I have had the privilege to work alongside our state and local elected officials across the 9^th District. They work incredibly hard for the people of the 9^th District, and we have worked to create relationships and synergies that have allowed us to solve problems at all levels of government.
