This week inside The Pastor's Office, Rev. Jonathan A. Mason sits down with Kristin Phillips-Hill, who was elected to serve York County residents in the Pennsylvania Senate in 2018 and subsequently re-elected in 2022.

As a former small business owner and school board director, Kristin has made government efficiency a point of emphasis throughout her tenure in public service.

Throughout her first term in the Senate, Kristin spearheaded a concerted bipartisan and bicameral effort to improve access to high-speed internet in Pennsylvania through her role as chair of the Communications & Technology Committee. She also serves as one of four legislative appointments to the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority.

Kristin also led the fight to provide for flexible instructional days for school districts to use when unforeseen circumstances prevent students from entering the classroom. Her bill, which was signed into law, served as the model that ensured the continuity of education for students amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
