Maturity is so underrated

His legacy will live on through the impact of his work, including his prime-sponsored bills that are now law: Act 6 and Act 57 of 2024. Our thoughts, prayers and all the support we can offer are with his wife, Holly, and their children.

And who could forget “Flat Gergely,” who showed up in the district when Matt had to be in Harrisburg? Matt fought hard for his community as a state representative, bringing resources back to his district and championing critically important issues.

Our hearts are hurting as we mourn the loss of Rep. Matt Gergely, alongside his family and friends. Matt was a treasured member of our delegation - there to offer support, advice or a quick joke when needed and, of course, always sporting an impeccable choice of footwear.

Thank you @WayneDFontana and @Senatorcosta for their collaboration in securing over $2.8 million in grant funding for Pittsburgh institutions and first responders. Please click pahouse.com/abney/InTheNew… to learn more about these investments in the Steel City and its citizens.

My bill to exclude savings bonds from PA seniors' income when determining eligibility for state prescription programs passed the Senate and now moves to @GovernorShapiro to be signed into law!

Thank you to @Senatorcosta for collaborating to secure $580,000 in state grants for the Steel City. These dollars will help provide for the safety and well-being of neighbors for years to come! Please click senatorcosta.com/democratic-lea… to learn more.

This was a surreal moment for me to introduce @BarackObama 🤯

Honored to participate in the men for reproductive freedom panel discussion with @DrArvindVenkat @tonygoldwyn @ZacharyQuinto James Byers & Josh Zurawski. Government should not be in the business of regulating wombs. This is one of the many reasons I’m supporting @KamalaHarris

Looking forward to sending @RobMatzie back to Harrisburg and keeping our Democratic Majority in the House!! #peoplesmajority #holdthehouse #democrats #pa #staterepresentative @PAHDCC @1aliquippa @VoteDanMiller @VoteJoeMcAndrew

One candidate understands the 12P’s and the other didn’t and it showed. Those so called “sorority parties” paid off 🤭

Gotta make room for @StephenCurry30 on Mt. Rushmore 🏀 #chefcurry

I led a #CalltoVote event yesterday alongside local officials and state colleagues at the county courthouse. I cannot overstate how essential voting is to the democratic fiber of our country, and I'm committed to doing all I can to keep elections free and fair.

My House Democratic colleagues and I met with Allegheny County officials to discuss the importance of incarcerated individuals being able to vote. The right to vote is a beacon of hope, reminding us that every voice matters and that redemption and civic duty are intertwined.

$47.6B bipartisan budget #letsgoooo

Excited to pass my HB 2378 from the Aging & Older Adult Services Committee today. This bill would allow Pennsylvanians 65+ to exclude the principal & interest accrued from the savings bonds in the eligibility for our PACE & PACENET prescription drug programs #seniors #policy

Our job as legislators is to make sure our children have a quality education that is accessible to all students. That's why I voted yes on fairly funding all of our public schools, because it's our duty to our children. youtu.be/ZUEKt147LkQ

I've always wondered what it was like for K. Leroy Irvis to become the first Black Speaker of any state House in the US. I was honored to speak at an event today to kick off the @PALegBlkCaucus Speaker K. Leroy Irvis Legislative Days of Action. youtu.be/_Rffe6phC6k

The face you make, when @PAHouseGOP continues to accuse undocumented immigrants of taking and not contributing to the growth of #Pennsylvania

Thank you to @RepMcClinton for appointing me to serve on @PittTweet's Board of Trustees. I'm excited to advance my alma mater's agenda in my new role! Click the image below to learn more.pahouse.com/abney/InTheNew…

Can’t wait to turn policy into life changing reality for so many people across the state!! #socialwork #socialservice #blackmaternalhealth #policy #government

Welcomed fellow social workers from across the State for a rally in support of my legislation HB1841 the social work interstate compact bill designed to maintain continuity of care between social workers & their clients. Thanks NASW-PA for your leadership on this critical issue.
