Rep. Darisha Parker

Thrilled to announce that my legislation is headed to Governor Josh Shapiro's desk for his signature to become law! It changes language in our state's insurance law removing negative stigmas and better reflect the Dept. of Human Services' mission.

I'm saddened that our city lost Sen. Shirley Kitchen, a true force of strength, who never stopped fighting for people who needed it the most. May she Rest in Peace as we continue to uphold her commitment to fighting for the people of Pennsylvania www.phillytrib.com/obituaries/f...

Where are the #PASenate Republicans?  We need them to get back to work so we can pass a #PABudget that works for you!

Working people can’t survive on $7.25. It's time to #RaiseTheWage in Pennsylvania because everyone deserves a living wage. The #PASenate must act now for the people of Pennsylvania.

Too many landlords are neglecting their responsibilities and putting residents and neighborhoods at risk. We're working with local and state partners to hold bad actors accountable and make sure properties are safe, clean, and habitable.

🚨Scam Alert🚨Don't be tricked by fraudulent utility workers!

Childcare is a child's first chance to experience the world without their parents, that should be safe and comforting. Home-based childcare does exactly that and molds the young leaders of tomorrow in an environment that looks like their own home. youtu.be/Eop7ZKoWMIM

Healthcare, housing, education, transportation... there are so many facets to our state budget. I joined Chairman Jordan Harris and the House Appropriations Committee to get the word out about what the #PABudget does for you.

Black women are always hit the hardest in economic downturns and DEI attacks from our own government make it even worse. I chose to be part of the solution and I won't be silent.  youtu.be/R6SvQ7wrZzE

Words matter. When the Department of Human Services updated to its current name in 2014, many legal documents in the commonwealth didn't follow suit. My bill to modernize this outdated language passed the #PAHouse Insurance Committee this week and heads to the full House for consideration.

The purpose of Jefferson Health is to serve the community we live in. Now they want to move pediatric services miles away? If you want to be in a community, you need to listen to that community and we are saying NO!
