As a mom, I understand that no mother, parent, or family should have to worry about whether or not baby formula will be on the shelves at the local grocery store. This week, the Congress passed a largely bipartisan effort to boost supplies and ensure the FDA has the resources it needs to keep our kids safe. I also called for the President to invoke the Defense Production Act to expedite assistance; I was glad to see he agreed and announced he would do so.
I also know high gas prices and inflation continue to pinch Pennsylvanian families. This week I met with the Inflation Working Group I helped found and voted for legislation to protect the American consumer from illegal price gouging. We must continue to explore every possible option to bring down prices and reaffirm our commitment to energy independence.
