The House is scheduled to return to Harrisburg on Saturday and, hopefully, vote this weekend on an agreed-upon budget that will include funding for our schools, nonprofits, and programs to help the state’s most vulnerable people. Voting in the House is scheduled for Sunday.
The House passed a budget on April 14, so I’m optimistic that the Senate has finally found a consensus among its members after 80+ days and the official end of the fiscal year.
You can see how we voted on all bills here.

I will continue fighting for a Pennsylvania we can all afford, including cutting taxes for seniors, working families, and small businesses here in Erie – and across the state.

STATEWIDE WORK WITH POLICY COMMITTEE
|
|
As Chairman of the PA House Democratic Policy Committee and a member of the House Majority Leadership team, I travel across the state with the Policy Committee to hear from workers, seniors, advocates, business leaders, and officials on emerging issues and initiatives. We examine how policies are working for people across the state and identify opportunities to advance reforms that would help even more residents.
The committee has held 71 hearings, hosted by 49 different leaders, across 47 neighborhoods so far, this legislative session.
UP NEXT: The committee kicks off eight weeks of summer and fall travel when we host events in Allegheny County from July 20-22.
