House Democrats rubber-stamped a budget with extreme spending that would have guaranteed tax increases on Pennsylvania families and businesses. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans did the hard work – and delivered a budget that protects taxpayers.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

Nearly 1,200 people convicted of second-degree murder in PA could be released if House Democrats don’t take action by July 24.

The Senate passed bipartisan legislation twice to address this issue - legislation supported by the Attorney General & DAs. The House must act.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

The sooner we achieve a responsible 2026-27 budget, the better it is for every citizen of this Commonwealth. We are staunchly committed to doing just that.

Thank you, Mr. President for saving family-sustaining jobs in Southwestern Pennsylvania!!!

[PA Senate Republicans @PASenateGOP]

Happy Birthday to @SenatorPittman of the 41st Senate District representing Armstrong, Indiana, Jefferson and Westmoreland counties! 🎂

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

The 2026-27 budget must respect taxpayers & protect PA’s future. Republicans have been clear that Shapiro's plan spends too much.

The Governor’s speech was the first step in this year's budget process. We certainly have a long way to go to reach a final agreement.

Groundhog Day is one of Pennsylvania’s best annual traditions. I hope you can join us early in the morning on Monday, February 2, either in person or watching from afar, to hear Punxsutawney Phil’s predication for when winter will end!

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

On the latest edition of @ReportVolpe, @SenLisaBaker and I joined Chuck Volpe to discuss the final 2025-26 state budget and what it means for the future of PA.

Thank you to Chuck for sitting down with us for a great conversation!

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

This budget is a product of divided government, and while it may have taken more time than any of us would have preferred, we have brought a divided government together to move our commonwealth forward.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

On August 12, @PASenateGOP advanced a spending plan to fund state programs & services at the previous year’s levels while 2025-26 budget negotiations continue.

House Democrats could still join us & pass the bill today to help those feeling any negative impacts of the impasse.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

The horror we saw yesterday with the murder of Charlie Kirk, the recent mass violence within communities, and the targeting of individuals who offer a different political perspective is abhorrent. The epidemic of violence in all forms must be condemned.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

Following the conclusion of three voting session days this week, the Senate now remains on a 24-hour call. Session days beyond what are presently scheduled for the Fall will likely be necessary once a budget agreement is reached.
