Proudly serving Bucks County, including  Bristol Township and Bristol Borough. 

Democrat Brandon Dukes won Pennsylvania’s 12th state House district in a special election on Tuesday, now taking our Democratic majority in the House to 103-100.

His district in Bulter County, which was previously represented by Stephenie Scialabba before she resigned in March, has not sent a Democrat to the Pennsylvania House in more than 20 years!

Congratulations Representative Dukes, I look forward to working together to continue delivering for working Pennsylvanians. 

Also on Tuesday, Governor Shapiro signed an Executive Order restricting data center development in PA. This has become essential as, despite the PA House passing eight bills this year to regulate data centers and put protections for communities and guardrails in place, the PA Senate has refused to move any of them, even voting down a data center moratorium bill in Committee. I have heard concerns from neighbors about data centers, and I believe that Governor Shapiro's order is a good first step in securing Pennsylvanians from the possible risks associated with them.

The Governor’s Executive Order mandates that any data center developers must:

• Pay the full cost of electricity and infrastructure needed to power their project, without shifting costs to residents
• Commit to full transparency with local residents and leaders often and early, so that communities can have meaningful conversations about the impact of the project
• Hire and train local workers and enter meaningful community benefit agreements
• Meet the highest standards of environmental protection and strict water conservation requirements

The Executive Order also removes all data center proposals from the Fast Track permitting process and removes the use of nondisclosure agreements for data center projects – paving the way for more transparency and more time for municipalities to consider whether they want to support projects proposed in their communities.

You can read the Executive Order for yourself here.

Changes to Medicaid, also known as Medical Assistance in Pennsylvania, are coming on January 1, 2027, because of changes to federal law. More information is expected to be released, but here is what you need to know for now:

• Some adults will need to renew their Medicaid Plan every six months instead of annually.
• New requirements stipulate that some adults enrolled in Medicaid will need to meet a work requirement and do one of or a combination of the following: work, attend school, participate in a work training program, or do community service.

If you receive Medicaid, now is a good time to make sure your mailing address and contact information are up to date with DHS so you don’t miss important notices about these changes.

School's almost back in session, which means school buses will be out on the roads again during your commute! A few reminders to help keep students safe this back-to-school season:

• Yellow lights mean a school bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and watch for children.
• Stop at least 10 feet away when red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out. It’s the law.
• Wait until the lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and children have reached safety before moving your car.

Not sure where to stop? Watch below to learn when to stop on roads without a median, roads with a center turning lane, and other road scenarios. 

Violating PA's school bus stopping law can mean a fine of up to $300, a 60-day license suspension, and 5 points on your license. Learn more at pa.gov/schoolbus. 

For assistance or to RSVP for an event, please don't hesitate to call my office at (267)580-2660 or email us at RepDavis@pahouse.net.

We look forward to seeing you there, thank you!
