🇺🇸 PA Senate Majority Leader @PASenateGOP • Representing the 41st Senatorial District in Armstrong, Indiana, Jefferson & Westmoreland Counties 📍

[Senator Wayne Langerholc @SenLangerholc]

I was proud to stand with @PAAttorneyGen, @SenatorPittman, @SenatorStefano, @SenatorJWard, Cambria County District Attorney Jessica Aurandt, and Clearfield County District Attorney Ryan Sayers to underscore the need for a commonsense solution that protects our communities.

. @SenatorKimWard, @SenatorPittman, @SenLangerholc, @SenatorMartinPA and @SenLisaBaker issue statement after the House failed to protect PA communities today by refusing to allow a vote on bipartisan legislation passed twice by the Senate ➡️ https://t.co/DmKaOSTxM2

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

Every Pennsylvanian deserves to feel safe and secure on their own property, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was right to uphold the strong privacy and property protections provided by our state constitution.

We approved a clear bipartisan plan by a vote of 30 to 20 to address second degree murder sentencing after a PA Supreme Court ruling. @PAAttorneyGen Sunday supports the measure and House Democrats need to join us in passing the bill.

[Senator Lisa Baker @SenLisaBaker]

TODAY at 12 p.m.⬇️

[Senator Wayne Langerholc @SenLangerholc]

If House Democrats fail to act by July 24, nearly 1,200 individuals convicted of second-degree murder in Pennsylvania could become eligible for release.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

It was great to sit down with Francine Schertzer from @pcntv to talk about the completed 2026-27 state budget in an ‘On the Issues’ Interview.

I'm proud of our @PASenateGOP work to stand up for Pennsylvania taxpayers and families.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, the new state budget helps Pennsylvanians get ahead in life by increasing funding for career and technical education, maintaining funding for key workforce development programs and helping more students receive postsecondary education.

[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 Scott Martin @SenatorMartinPA]

ICYMI: Senate and House Republican leaders discussed our significant policy wins for the people of Pennsylvania, including protecting the state against future tax increases, focusing on pro-growth strategies, and forcing state government to be more efficient and accountable.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

Good News! Pennsylvania now has a 2026-27 State Budget in place.

We have worked extremely hard to create a responsible spending plan that protects taxpayers, prevents new tax hikes, safeguards our financial future, and breaks down barriers to economic growth.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

The 2026-27 state budget is an imperfectly good budget that will keep Pennsylvania on a promising path for the future.

Today we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, recognizing the nation’s founding in 1776 and the generations who carried its story forward. Wishing everyone a joyful and safe holiday as we commemorate this historic milestone.

[Senator Joe Pittman @SenatorPittman]

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states can take action to protect fairness in women’s sports.

I sat down with @SenatorJWard to talk about the significance of this ruling and the steps we have already taken in the Pennsylvania Senate.
