• Supported Improved Access and Distribution of Medical Marijuana in PA

Senate Democrats took our fight for women’s health across the Commonwealth. We introduced laws and amendments to preserve women’s rights, bodily autonomy, and access to healthcare.

We fought back against deceptive and politically motivated Republican legislation. And we lifted up the voices of experts and advocates in policy hearings and out in our communities.

Initially proposed by Senator Saval, the Whole-Home Repairs Program will provide financial assistance for Pennsylvania homeowners to repair and weatherize their homes. Senate Democrats worked hard to make the $125 million dollar program a reality for Pennsylvanians.

Highlights include:

$190 Million was made available in the state’s budget to specifically address mental health initiatives and physical security enhancements in schools for the 2022-2023 academic year. Senate Democrats made clear increased funding for schools and safety was a top priority, even before the budget process got underway. Now, the Commonwealth estimates 784 eligible schools will receive these grants.

In the legislature and in the courts, Senate Democrats fought against numerous efforts to undermine access to voting and the legitimacy of votes. Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy- we won’t stop defending Pennsylvanians voting rights and freedoms.

Over $350 Million was allocated to the PHAF to help homeowners who are facing financial hardship due to the pandemic. The fund provides eligible homeowners with support in easing mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, displacement and utility disconnection.

In late 2022, the final version of Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana law was approved, ensuring safer products and better service at dispensaries across the Commonwealth.
