1. ‘Barton Breaks It Down’ – Gov. Josh Shapiro’s Upcoming Budget Address
I am excited to announce that I will now be recording a bi-weekly video update called “Barton Breaks It Down” to keep you informed on all the latest news from Harrisburg and back home in our district.
With the governor’s budget address coming up next Tuesday, I thought it made sense to share my budget priorities and what I hope to hear from Gov. Josh Shapiro. In a few short months on the job, it is clear to me that we have challenges, not just in Washington or Harrisburg, but in every community I represent. It’s my hope we can come together and meet these challenges.
