Congratulations to the 35 newest American citizens from 16 different countries who took the Oath of Allegiance yesterday in York County!

A special congratulations to the Charles family, who our office had the privilege of assisting with a matter before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Becoming an American citizen is a meaningful milestone, and we wish all of our newest fellow Americans the very best as they begin this exciting new chapter!

Decisions on when to claim Social Security shouldn’t be made more confusing by government terminology.

My bipartisan Claiming Age Clarity Act has passed Congress and is headed to the President’s desk.

It will help Americans better understand their retirement benefits.

More from CNBC:

President Donald Trump may sign a bill into law that would change the way Social Security retirement ages are described.

$40 trillion in debt. More than $1 trillion a year just to pay the interest.

We know this path is unsustainable. The question is whether we choose to act now.

I joined the 584 Vetoes podcast to discuss the case for a bipartisan fiscal commission and a path toward getting our fiscal house in order.

61 historic documents and artifacts connected to President James Buchanan’s family are back with their rightful owners.

These items had come to the Pennsylvania Treasury as unclaimed property, and yesterday I joined Treasurer Stacy Garrity at LancasterHistory for their return to the Buchanan family.

Thank you, Treasurer Garrity, for your tremendous work to return unclaimed property to Pennsylvanians across our Commonwealth.

249 years ago today, Lancaster served as the capital of our young nation for one day.

On September 27, 1777, the Continental Congress convened in Lancaster after fleeing Philadelphia as British forces advanced. After meeting here, delegates traveled across the Susquehanna River to York, where Congress continued its work during a pivotal chapter of the American Revolution.

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we’re proud to remember the important role our communities played in our nation’s founding.

A great look at this history from Smithsonian Magazine:

The nascent nation's leaders fled to the inland city as the British advanced on Philadelphia in September 1777. They held one meeting at the local courthouse before moving on to York

Our $40 trillion national debt didn’t appear overnight, and there won’t be a single solution to put America back on a sustainable fiscal path.

I enjoyed hosting the Republican Study Committee's Right to the Point podcast with Kurt Couchman for a wide-ranging conversation about our nation’s fiscal future, economic growth, and how we can fix Washington’s broken budget process.

Watch our full conversation here:

Washington can debate whether it's a spending problem or a revenue problem.

It's a math problem.

We take in $5 trillion and spend $7 trillion. It's time to confront our nation's fiscal challenges and put America on a better trajectory.

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all those observing in Pennsylvania’s 11th District and across the country. May this day of reflection and atonement bring peace and renewal.
