John Kane is a dedicated public servant and lifelong labor leader representing Pennsylvania's 9th Senate District. A proud plumber and former business manager for Plumbers Local 690, John has firsthand experience with the challenges facing working families and has spent his career fighting for their rights. In the Senate, he champions healthcare access, fair funding for public schools, and protecting reproductive rights while pushing for commonsense gun safety laws to ensure the safety of every Pennsylvanian.
In the state legislature, the majority party controls the legislative agenda, including which bills receive a vote and what policies are prioritized. For years, the Republican majority in the Pennsylvania Senate has blocked progress on critical issues, standing in the way of the change that Pennsylvanians want and need.
Senate Republicans have repeatedly refused to bring up bills passed by the House that would benefit working families, such as raising the minimum wage, expanding paid leave, and implementing commonsense gun safety laws. They've obstructed efforts to protect and expand voting rights, and they've stalled legislation to fully fund our public schools and address decades of inequity. Instead of working for everyday Pennsylvanians, the Republican Senate has prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy and protecting corporate interests over the needs of our communities.
Electing a Democratic majority in the Senate is the only way to break this gridlock and advance policies that truly reflect the values of Pennsylvania families. With a Democratic majority, we can pass the bills that will make a real difference—ensuring fair wages, safe communities, fully funded schools, and the protection of our rights and freedoms.
