5th Anniversary Episode with Special Guest Pennsylvania State Senator, Elder Vogel Jr.

Armstrong "In The Loop Podcast"

We are excited to celebrate our 5th Anniversary of Armstrong In The Loop Podcast with our very own Pennsylvania State Senator of the 47th District, Elder Vogel! This episode is also a special occasion as we were able to record in the Butler County Chamber Podcast Studio so special thanks to Jordan Grady & Christian Shields.
Our conversation with Senator Vogel is all about his time in office, over 15 years, and the achievements that he's had during his tenure. We start off discussing local community fairs since we're in the heart of farm show/fair season. We work our way into discussing the state budget that was passed in July and what it means for everyone. Senator Vogel does in-depth on important areas of focus: Education, Transportation, Agriculture, and Telemedicine.
We spend time discussing Senator Vogel's recent telemedicine bill (Senate Bill 739) that went into law this summer. This was vital for everyone in the state and took a lot of hard work to get passed. Congratulations to Senator Vogel and his entire team that worked on this bill over the last several years!
We also highlighted a very important bill that Senator Vogel was able to get into law in 2023, Expanding access to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) in the state of Pennsylvania. This bill improves the availability of critical care to sexual assault victims.
