“The inaction we’ve seen is disappointing. With a $12 billion surplus, we can and should deliver for the people of Pennsylvania.“Rather than pass a timely budget that helps working families, we’ve been distracted by unrelated issues and interjected politics at the expense of in-state tuition for Pennsylvania students.

“Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision will hurt women’s access to health care, disproportionately harming people of color and those struggling financially. While abortion is still safe and legal here in Pennsylvania despite the court’s decision, the truth is the commonwealth is one vote away from criminalizing women’s health care and the dire consequences that it would prompt – higher maternal mortality rates, spikes in unsafe abortions, and the prosecution of doctors and nurses who provide necessary health care. Because let’s be honest: outlawing abortion doesn’t stop abortion. Read more

HARRISBURG, May 26 – PA House Democratic leadership released the following statement today in the wake of the Buffalo supermarket shooting, the Uvalde school shooting and continued Republican obstruction of any debate on commonsense gun violence legislation: “Tragically, we find ourselves in a continued cycle of inactivity on commonsense gun safety legislation following the death of 10 adults in Buffalo and 19 students and three teachers in Uvalde, Texas. Republican leadership in the House of Representatives has been in near complete control for almost 30 years and they refuse to even allow debate on the most widely supported bipartisan gun safety legislation. They’ve shown that the loss of Pennsylvanians to gun violence, which our own communities experience far too often, isn’t enough to spur them to action. Now we know neither is the massacre of grocery shoppers in Buffalo or innocent children and teachers in Uvalde. “Yesterday, Republican leadership blocked an attempt to debate legislation banning high-capacity semi-automatic rifles like the weapons used in Buffalo and Uvalde. These are weapons of war so violent that some parents of the children senselessly murdered had to provide DNA samples because that was the only way to identify their child’s body torn apart by bullets. Republican leaders say this bill should be vetted in the Judiciary Committee, yet those same leaders continue to send commonsense reform bills there to Read more
