Rep. Jim Haddock

To all members of the U.S. Armed Forces: Thank you for your endless commitment, dedication, service and sacrifice. We are proud of you!

It was an honor to sit down and answer questions from our local high school students on The Patriot Podcast. As a former school director it’s wonderful to hear what’s on the minds of our students. Watch and listen as I address the accomplishments we’ve made in education.

Thank you to all nurses who show the utmost dedication on the job every day. They are essential members of our healthcare workforce who provide care through every stage of life.

As it stands currently, private schools have the ability to draw in students from a wider area than traditional public schools, which can greatly influence the talent pool.

I’m in full support of giving the PIAA and Pa. Athletic Oversight Committee the option to establish separate athletic playoffs and championships for public schools and private schools.

On International Firefighters Day, and every day, I am proud to support our first responders. Our local firefighters do so much for our community every day, and I will always fight for the men and women who are there when we need them the most!

Members of the Civil Air Patrol are consistently out in public, actively contributing to nonprofits, and are strong members of their communities. I express my gratitude for all their efforts.

Fire companies play a crucial role in our society. The Fire Company Transformational Grant program aims to invest in these companies to ensure their long-term sustainability.

May the hope and joy of Easter fill your heart with renewed faith and blessings.

Wishing you all good luck for catching "the big one" this season! Enjoy your time at the water!

Let us all strive to accept, embrace, support, and accommodate those with autism. We also should work to ensure equitable opportunities and listen to the needs of the autism community.

May this meaningful #Passover bring peace to your home, happiness to your heart, and countless blessings to your life.

I’ll always be an advocate and voice for the heroes who served our country. Thanks for watching this week’s segment, we’ll be back next week for another episode! youtu.be/tf1i0XJZqcA

It was an honor to join Judge Tom Munley from WBRE for another segment of our Veterans’ Views series. We talked about the PA Agricultural Veterans Grant Program, which offers a unique opportunity for vets to be integrated into working on a farm.

Read Across America Week is all about encouraging a love of reading in our students, and celebrating the role literature plays in helping kids learn and grow. I was so glad to share a live reading of “Maybe” by Kobi Yamada with Old Forge’s sixth graders for Guest Reader Day.

This year, Pittston chose John “Casey” Donahue, whose lifelong commitment to public service and community involvement exemplifies the very spirit of the parade, to be this year’s Grand Marshal of the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade!

The educational grants also extend to the family members of those who serve. This is just another way to give back to the men and women defending our country. Thanks for watching this week’s segment, we’ll be back next week for another episode!

It was a privilege to join Judge Tom Munley from WBRE for another segment of our Veterans’ Views series. We talked about a bill introduced by my officemate in Harrisburg, @RepVenkat that would provide educational grants for the 18,000 PA National Guard members.

I'm calling on the @PAAttorneyGen to investigate the recent gas price hikes. As soon as the first bomb hit Iran, gas stations hiked their prices. Now Pennsylvanians not only have to figure out how to pay for food but also how to fill up their gas tanks. pahouse.com/Haddock/InTheN…
