HARRISBURG, Sept. 20 – State Rep. Mary Jo Daley, D-Montgomery, announced today that she secured $131,669 in state grants to install parking lot solar lights in Wentz Run Park in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. The grants were awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program. “This funding will help improve safety and reduce energy costs in Whitpain’s Wentz Run Park by installing parking lot solar lights,” Daley said. “By increasing safety, more people will take advantage of this wonderful community resource.” The funds will be used to replace the existing wooden light poles and lights at the Wentz Run Park parking lot with 18 new aluminum poles and solar LED lights. The new solar lights will reduce energy costs and improve safety at the park through adequate and reliable lighting. The Commonwealth Financing Authority was established in 2004 as an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development to administer Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages. The Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program funds can be used to develop, rehabilitate and improve public parks, recreation areas, greenways, trails and river conservation. Read more

This victory in Kansas shows the power collective action has in defeating these minority-held, antifreedom policies. We hope this wakeup call will deter the Pennsylvania constitutional amendment from receiving a vote next session, and we can instead focus on legislation that would actually help our constituents like increasing the minimum wage, requiring paid family leave, and requiring insurance coverage for contraceptives.

HARRISBURG, July 18 – State Rep.

Harris traveled to Philadelphia Saturday to meet with more than three dozen state House and Senate Democrats, plus members of the state’s congressional delegation, to join the lawmakers in a call to action and to discuss the relentless effort of right-wing extremists to take away rights, starting with the right to abortion and reproductive health care.

“As the majority party in Harrisburg continues to circumvent the governor with constitutional amendments to remove and restrict rights for Pennsylvanians, it is more important than ever that Governor Wolf uses the tools he has to protect rights and combat these extremist efforts to ban abortion,” Daley said. “Only by working together can we counter these attacks and protect the rights of our citizens.” Read more
Pa. state Rep. Mary Jo Daley, Co-Chair of the PA General Assembly’s bipartisan, bicameral Women's Health Caucus, knows that abortion is still safe and legal in Pa., but she also knows that we must all be vigilant so that it remains so. What happened in the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday is not what the majority of voters want. Rep. Daley and her colleagues with the Women’s Health Caucus will continue to fight for a woman’s right to reproductive healthcare. Read more
The ruling eliminates the constitutional right to an abortion recognized by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Since a draft of the opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked and its authenticity subsequently confirmed by the court, advocacy groups, elected officials, and stakeholders have been issuing dire warnings about what such a radical decision would mean and the detrimental impact it would have on the health of millions of Americans.

“It’s just nuts,” says Mary Jo Daley, a Democratic state representative in Pennsylvania, who introduced a bill directed at pregnancy centers. “They’re collecting all this information, and you don’t know how they’re gonna use it because they’re not health care providers. And women don’t know that. It’s frightening.” Read more

We are facing a baby formula crisis in which mothers searching for formula are visiting stores with empty shelves or are paying grossly overcharged amounts to simply provide nutrients for their babies. There is a confluence of reasons why this is occurring, including a recall by one of the industry's largest manufacturers, persistent supply-chain issues, and a market dominated by only a few manufacturers. While supply-chain issues caused by the pandemic are unavoidable, there are still policy choices that have long caused a dependence on baby formula. Currently, in Pennsylvania, without a comprehensive paid family leave law, mothers can be forced back into work quickly after birth. Once they are at work, nursing mothers may not be guaranteed to have a reasonable accommodation to pump breast milk. Without time to breastfeed at home or the ability to pump breast milk in a private and sanitary place during work, the opportunity to breastfeed is nonexistent for far too many new mothers. My legislation, H.B. 1739, would require reasonable accommodations for nursing mothers. These accommodations include providing a private, sanitary space – not a restroom – where an employee can express milk and providing unpaid break time or allowing an employee to use paid break, mealtime, or both to express milk. The refusal of the majority party to even call up H.B. 1739 hurts children and mothers. The formula shortage is bringing those harms to light. This Read more
