Thankfully @PASenateGOP held the line during this year’s budget preventing @GovernorShapiro & PA Dems from increasing taxes on PA'ians. Just look at the🔵states around us. 🔵NJ’s ’26-’27 budget total: $60.7B 🔵MD’s ’26-‘27 budget total: $71.8B 🔵VA’s ’26-‘27 budget total: $103B

It's disturbing that @PAHouseDems HB 1042 puts criminals 1st & victims last. Their bill would allow a non-remorseful murderer or a violent sexual predator to be released for having asthma/COVID through Medical parole/"get out of jail free card."

Property rights are enshrined in both the U.S. and PA constitutions. The Senate approved legislation sponsored by @senatorlaughlin to strengthen protections against warrantless entry onto private property by PA Game Commission personnel. Learn more: bit.ly/4e2tLMp

.@SenLisaBaker, @SenLangerholc & members of the @PASenateGOP held a press conference this afternoon to urge @PaHouseDems to pass Senate Bill 1400. It’s time for Democrats to stop putting criminals 1st & victims last by passing SB 1400, endorsed by @PAAttorneyGen & @PA_FOP.

The picture says it all… @GovernorShapiro it’s time to opt Pennsylvania in to the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit.
If you live in one of the gray states, your governor has blocked scholarships from the new Trump federal scholarship program from being given to kids in your state. And I would recommend upgrading to a better governor.

The PA Senate passed SB 1400 TWICE, while House Democrats offered their own soft-on-crime bill the day before the deadline. What were they waiting for? Sponsored by @SenLisaBaker, SB 1400 would create a responsible sentencing structure for 2nd degree murder.

✅The final guidelines for the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit confirm that opting into this program should be an easy decision that will help 1.8M PA students, whether they choose to attend private, public, or home school.

Congratulations to @SenFrankFarry on receiving the Pink Ribbon Award from the @PBCC. Through Act 52 of 2025, his work expands access to diagnostic mammograms, breast MRIs and ultrasounds by eliminating out-of-pocket costs for eligible Pennsylvanians.

🔵 state govs. are quick to blame data centers and the PJM Electric Grid for rising electric bills & the grid's strained electricity supplies. However, a lot of the energy demand that is straining our grid is from 🔵gov’s poor 🟢 energy policies. penncapital-star.com/energy-…

A Green Star Family license plate would be available to families who lost a veteran to suicide as a result of their military service under legislation passed by the Senate. Increasing awareness would encourage earlier intervention and support. Read more: bit.ly/4ecKVHd

.@GovernorShapiro &🔵state govs. promise their🟢dreams will make electric bills more "affordable." TRUTH: their🟢policies paired w/ Shapiro’s PJM price cap prevent lower electric bills for PA'ians. PA has a large energy baseload underneath our feet- let's harness it!🔋💪⚡️
