Now designated as Valley Forge National Historical Park, its 3,500 acres of green spaces, historic structures, and monuments bring 2 million visitors to our district yearly to learn, to take a walk, and to picnic. I’m working to pass my bill, the Valley Forge Park Realignment Permit and Promise Act, to make it easier for park officials to make improvements.
National parks like Valley Forge are in trouble as President Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, cut their budgets and whitewash our history. The National Park Service has already lost a quarter of its workforce this year, saw its budget cut by $267 million in the recently enacted Republican Budget Bill, and will see another $1 billion cut if the President’s 2026 budget is signed into law.
Our public parks are a national treasure. Will you sign Chrissy's petition in support of protecting our national parks today?

John, Democrats don’t have the votes right now to stop the President and his Republican allies in Congress but we do have our voices. And we shouldn’t be silent. We’re hoping for 5,000 signatures on our petition. Will you help her keep up the fight for our public lands, and the dedicated workers who care for them in Pennsylvania and nationwide.
