Senator Baker

NEPA was well represented as a delegation of area realtors traveled to Harrisburg for Realtor Day on the Hill. They joined their colleagues from across the state to discuss the 2025 legislative priorities of the @parealtors and issues important to the real estate industry. #realtors #realestate #advocacy

Children enjoyed games, a bounce house, face painting and more as the Irem Shrine hosted a “Family Fun Day” to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Irem Pavilion in Dallas. In addition to serving as a fundraising space to help support @shrinershospitals efforts, many memories have been made at the numerous concerts, reunions, graduations, proms, weddings and other public events held here. #shrinershospitalforchildren #shrinerschildrens #shriners

As we gear up to celebrate our nation`s 250th anniversary, @america250_pa and @pagrandlodge are making their way across the state planting Liberty Trees in each of our 67 counties. I was delighted to meet up with the group in Tunkhannock to see the 53rd sapling placed in Wyoming County.

@luzernecountyhistoricalsociety held its 167th annual dinner honoring the 28th Division Artillery (DIVARTY) as it observes its 250th anniversary.

Formerly known as the 109th Field Artillery Regiment, this unit has participated in nearly every major war in American history. Its members have served our country with honor, pride and loyalty and have displayed a tremendous commitment to the @panationalguard

My grandson was a fan of “Zoo Day” at the Capitol, learning about some of the reptiles and amphibians native to PA, as well as some of the more exotic residents of our zoos.

Please join me in congratulating Margaret Palmer as she celebrates a century of memories and experiences this year. Her 100th birthday was nearly as fabulous as she is! #happybirthday #centenarian #100yearsyoung

The Shavertown Volunteer Fire Company has been protecting people and property for 100 years. The community recently gathered to celebrate this milestone anniversary, and to thank these dedicated volunteers for their unwavering service and sacrifice. #volunteerfiredepartment

Lake-Lehman’s 9th graders & Blue Ridge`s 6th graders recently spent time discovering our cultural & natural history at the PA State Museum, touring the Capitol building & sightseeing throughout the complex. #fieldtrips #history #pacapitol

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m so proud to be Carson’s mom and even prouder of the man he’s grown to be. #mothersday2025 #proudmom

As #nationalsmallbusinessweek comes to a close, I was pleased to be able to participate in two events celebrating entrepreneurial spirit and the contributions of our small businesses. The economic development professionals and community leaders affiliated with the Wayne Economic Development Corporation and @backmountainchamber work tirelessly to promote our job creators and support their efforts to stimulate our economy. WEDCO’s Annual Meeting and Dinner and BMC’s Annual Legislative Breakfast provide important opportunities to discuss issues and find solutions.

Recognizing May as #nationaltreatmentcourtmonth @pennsylvaniacourts announced the launch of a certification program for treatment courts statewide – one that will promote effective, evidence-based practices, ensure consistent, high-quality services are available to participants which will in turn, increase positive outcomes.

This is in conjunction with legislation I sponsored that constitutes a simple, yet important terminology change in our statutes—renaming “problem solving courts” to “treatment courts.” It is a solid first step toward aligning the system with the values we want it to reflect — a system that recognizes people’s potential to change, holds them accountable, and gives them the opportunity to succeed.
