I don’t often talk about my faith, but in the wake of the despicable attempt on Governor Shapiro’s family over Passover, I wanted to share a personal story about @GovernorShapiro

- Spent some time tonight with @BBhuttoZardari & fellow progressive State Representative Maryam Khan. Thank you to @RoxUnitedSC for providing club jackets and scarves to Minister Zardari & our gracious host Ambassador @Masood__Khan. Also made sure they both got Eagles hats!
- I am so proud to be sworn in today, a part of the Pennsylvania House Democrats. I will always fight for a more equitable Pennsylvania.
- Replying to @RepTarikPraying for the governor and his family in the wake of this egregious attack, and inspired by the Governor’s resolve to double his efforts to make a better and more just society here in the Commonwealth. Just what William Penn had in mind.
- Replying to @RepTarikThat celebration of our various faiths, he said, was exactly what William Penn had in mind when he envisioned the commonwealth.
- Replying to @RepTarikGovernor Shapiro graciously hosts an annual Iftar dinner at his residence. This year, after breaking bread, he shared that he carries a sense of awe because the room we pray in each year at his residence is the same room that his son had his bar-mitzvah.
- Replying to @RepTarikGovernor Shapiro has been there for the Muslim community when we’ve reached out to him, whether it was signing my bill to increase security grants for nonprofits at risk for crimes like mosques, or awarding the largest grant to a Muslim community center for $5 million.
- Replying to @RepTarikSo it’s even more painful to hear that this friend who was openly celebrating his faith at a Passover Seder dinner was the target of a man who wanted to viciously attack our Governor with a hammer and burn down his home while he and his family slept just hours later.
- Grateful to my family, friends, my committee, my colleagues at Penn & coworkers and my community for all of their support Everyday for the last 2 1/2 plus years you were graceful & understanding as I spent a portion of each day working on my dissertation. Today I’m Dr. Khan!!
- Replying to @RepTarikAnd that room where we observed our religious events was one of the rooms where the attacker threw a Molotov cocktail and nearly burned it to the ground.
- Folks we did it!! Nearly $232 million coming to our Philly schools this next school year!! Waiting for Gov Shapiro now to sign this into law!! #pabudget
