House Democrats are delivering for Pennsylvania.

Democrats in the state House are working together and have led the charge to lower your taxes, help you save for retirement, put more teachers in your schools, and make your community safer.

We’re reaching across the aisle and putting people ahead of politics – because better jobs, better schools and better communities benefit everyone. And we’re just getting started.

In Pennsylvania it doesn’t matter where you live, how old you are or who you love,

House Democrats are fighting for you.
