Last week, we had the honor of welcoming 29 men and women from Pennsylvania’s Special Olympics team who won several medals during the national competition in Seattle in July. Congratulations to this extraordinary team and good luck to them for all of their future competitions.

This morning, I had the opportunity to meet with Riley Brown at the Capitol. Riley is from Hallstead and was in Harrisburg as part of the Keystone Boys State program. Keystone Boys State is a civic-leadership development program offered by the Pennsylvania American Legion. High school boys entering their senior year participate in a week-long government simulation, learning about the political process, hearing from guest speakers, engaging in debate and much more.
