Langerholc, Congressman Joyce Tour Cambria County Airport

I had the pleasure of joining Congressman John Joyce and other local leaders for a facility walkthrough and a discussion on upcoming aviation innovation projects at the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport.

Retired Police Chief Receives Senate Citation

This week, I had the honor of presenting a Pennsylvania Senate citation to Chief Paul Bonfanti in recognition of his retirement from the Summerhill Township Police Department after 40 years of dedicated service to the community.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for New Turf Field at VE Arbutus Little League

I attended a ribbon cutting ceremony this week for the opening of a new turf field at VE Arbutus Little League in Johnstown. I am proud to have helped secure the funding to make this project a reality.

Langerholc Tours Sandyvale Memorial Gardens and Conservancy

Last week, I had a tremendous tour and conversation with board members of the Sandyvale Memorial Gardens and Conservancy in Johnstown.

Upcoming Free License Plate Replacement Events

Mark your calendar for my upcoming FREE license plate replacement events! If your license plate is damaged, peeling, discolored, or hard to read, stop by one of my events scheduled in Cambria, Clearfield, or Centre County and one of my staff members will assist you with the paperwork to get your license plate replaced for FREE. Police officers will be on hand to complete the required paperwork, and my office will process the forms directly through PennDOT to get you a replacement as quickly as possible.

If you can’t make it to one of these scheduled events, please contact my office at 814-266-2277 and my staff will be happy to provide you with the information needed to get your plate replaced.

Survey: How Did PennDOT Do This Winter?

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is offering a short survey so motorists can offer their feedback on the winter services PennDOT provided.

Filling out the survey allows you to share your thoughts about where you get information about road conditions, how soon you can expect roads to be safe to travel following a winter storm event and what features you would find useful from 511PA.com.

There is also an opportunity to share additional comments. The survey can be completed anonymously.

PA Women Veterans: Register Now for Capitol Ceremony Honoring Your Service

Pennsylvania women who served in the armed forces have until May 9 to register for a state Capitol ceremony honoring their service on Tuesday, June 10. A virtual display will also be available online and will go live on June 9.

The event will recognize the courage and dedication of Pennsylvania’s women veterans from World War II to the present. Women veterans from all branches of the military are encouraged to attend and take part.

The first Women Veterans Day Capitol exhibit took place in 2023, after passage of legislation observing Women Veterans Day in Pennsylvania annually on June 12. New participants are encouraged to share their service stories by completing the required submission form. Veterans featured in last year’s display who wish to participate again may simply update their previous submission.

How to Locate Lost Military Documents

A veteran’s DD214 is a vital document when it comes to receiving the benefits they deserve. It provides the member and the branch of service with a concise record of a period of time with the armed forces at the time of the member’s separation, discharge or change in military status.

Veterans discharged from 2010 and after can access their own digital records by setting up an account through the VA e-Benefits portal. Veterans who were discharged before then may complete the Standard Form 180, which includes mailing instructions on the last page. They may also visit the National Archives and Records Administration site to submit a signed form electronically.

Anyone who needs assistance is encouraged to call 1-800-547-2838, email RA-REQ@pg.gov or learn more online.

April 26 is Celebrate Trails Day

Including trails in state parks, trails in state forests and rail trails – former railway lines that were converted to paths for foot and bicycle traffic – Pennsylvania has thousands of miles of trails to enjoy.

Trail lengths and difficulties vary. Some trails are scenic or leisurely, while others are self-guiding educational. Still others offer rigorous exercise.

No matter the trail you choose, enjoy it safely by planning the route for your trip as cell phones and GPS units may not work in some areas. Bring a friend, monitor the weather and stay on the trail. It’s also important to share your route and the time you expect to return with someone who will not be on the trail with you.

Earlier this year, the Path of the Flood Trail in Cambria County was named Pennsylvania’s 2025 Trail of the Year by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. This historic 14-mile trail follows the path of the infamous 1889 Johnstown Flood and features trailside markers that tell the story of the flood’s destruction. If you are looking for a way to enjoy Celebrate Trails Day, be sure to visit this year’s Trail of the Year right here in the 35th Senatorial District!
