Today PA ONE members and I had the opportunity to meet with some of PA Senator Robert Casey’s staff in Harrisburg, PA. In the short time that Senator Casey has served in the U.S. Senate (two years), he has demonstrated strong leadership on ONE’s legislative priorities for fighting extreme poverty in the world. We made sure to convey our appreciation to Director of Constituent Services Bonnie Seaman and Deputy Director of Constituent Services Teresa Dennis.

In the meeting we discussed the Global Food Security Act (which Senator Casey introduced with Republican Senator Richard Lugar), the President’s budget request for International Affairs, and Comprehensive Aid Reform. We are very hopeful that as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Casey will be a vocal champion for ONE. PA ONE Members look forward to working with Senator Casey and his staff in the future!
