In the state legislature, the majority party has absolute control over the legislative and budget process, including which bills are voted on and which spending priorities are made. Before Democrats took over the majority in the PA House, Republicans held near-complete control of the General Assembly for close to 25 years, pushing extreme agendas while failing to address the pressing needs of everyday Pennsylvanians.
With the Democratic majority in the House, we're finally seeing real progress. They’ve passed critical bills that protect abortion rights, blocking Republicans’ attempts to ban abortion in Pennsylvania. House Democrats have passed legislation to support working families, including raising the minimum wage and expanding paid leave for all workers. They passed common-sense gun safety bills to help keep our communities safe and bills to improve our elections, making voting easier and more accessible for everyone.
Keeping and growing the Democratic majority in the House is crucial for continuing this progress. A stronger Democratic majority will mean more opportunities to pass legislation that truly reflects the needs and values of Pennsylvania families—ensuring a brighter future for all of us.
