Out and About in the 5th
Visiting the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 131
Last week, I was honored to introduce myself and speak to the Vietnam Veterans of America, Berks County Chapter 131, at their monthly meeting. I appreciate the opportunity to meet some of our local heroes and affirm my commitment to our veterans as a state representative.
Thank you for Joining my Open House!
Thank you to everyone who came out to our Open House this past Thursday! It was amazing to be able to meet with folks and talk about state issues with so many of you.
I look forward to many more meetings in the future and serving you to the best of my ability as your representative in Harrisburg!

Get Ready for REAL ID
The deadline for enforcement of the federal REAL ID Act is fast approaching.
As of May 7, you will have to present a federally accepted form of identification to board a commercial domestic flight or visit a secure federal building that requires ID at the door. Federally accepted forms of identification include a Pennsylvania REAL ID driver’s license or ID card, a U.S. passport or passport card, or a military ID.
While all Pennsylvanians must comply with the new law, obtaining a state-issued REAL ID is not mandatory. PennDOT will continue to offer standard-issue driver’s licenses and photo IDs.
Full enforcement of the law has been delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was hindering efforts to process REAL ID applications across the country.
To learn more about REAL ID and how to obtain one, visit www.penndot.gov/REALID.

Blood Donation Saves Lives
Did you know that every two seconds in America, someone urgently needs blood?
January is National Blood Donor Month, an opportunity to both honor voluntary blood donors and encourage new donors to help save lives. National Blood Donor Month was first designated by proclamation of President Richard Nixon on Dec. 31, 1969.
The start of the new year is one of the most challenging times to collect blood products as the threat of winter weather builds and can often lead to widespread blood drive cancellations. In addition to winter weather, an active cold and flu season may prevent people from keeping donation appointments as they rest and recover from illness.
Only 3% of eligible Americans currently donate blood, despite 65% of the population being eligible to do so. Learn more about blood donation and where to donate here.
