About Me

I am a longtime Democratic state legislative leader (currently Majority Caucus Chairman) and an occasional blogger at Young Philly Politics, Phillyblog, and the Daily Kos. I was Pennsylvania's only elected delegate for Howard Dean in 2004, and one of many elected delegates for Barack Obama in 2008. I also serve as a member of the Democratic State Committee and as a Democratic committeeman in my election division.

I have been a legislative leader for a higher minimum wage and greater workers rights; for mail registration, motor voter, and expanded voter rights; for more affordable health insurance, subsidized prescriptions for senior citizens, and expanded organ donation.

In the current legislation session, I have served as a member of the Speaker's Commission on Legislative Reform, the Executive Committee of the Eastern Regional Council of State Governments, the PA Council on the Arts, the Rules Committee, the State Government Committee, the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, and the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee.
