Across the 11 PA state house seats that are fully or partly in Delco, no bill's with Democratic primary sponsors have become law since the 2015-16 session. (data dowloaded under creative commons license from https://t.co/ix39qpHW94) #FixHarrisburg

This session in the PA House the chance that a bill got a floor vote was 22x greater for a member the majority party. How’s that look on a map?

[@BillFoster4PA @billfoster4pa]

In Pennsylvania the legislation that becomes law is restricted to the majority party. In the past decade that percentage has gone from 80% to 99%.

PA Bipartisanship!? – Our Delco PA State House Representatives always get most of their campaign money from somewhere else and avoid contested primaries, regardless of party. Data on four PA representatives in our area, two from each party.

Democracy in PA: PA voters had no say for State Representative in the 2022 primaries 82% of the time. 25% of primaries had no candidate for the party and 57% had a "choice" of 1 candidate. The parties like to choose for their voters.
