"Without substantive reforms that enhance transparency and accountability, the Keystone State will only fall from that fiscal cliff. Pennsylvanians cannot afford to keep writing blank checks for broken systems." Great op-ed from our CEO @AndrewLewisPA: pennlive.com/opinion/2025/0…
I was a PA legislator, here’s how to get a state budget passed on time.

Public sector unions: “You can’t have school choice, it will take money away from our schools!” School choice allows for dollars to follow students. So what they’re admitting is if we gave parents a choice, they might not choose them. Telling, isn’t it.

BREAKING: @POTUS & @SenMcCormickPA just announced $92B in private sector investment in energy & tech right here in the KEYSTONE STATE. Time to unleash ENERGY, our greatest competitive advantage! 🇺🇸

Awaiting @POTUS & panel along with key members of our #PA legislative delegation at the #EnergySummit in Pittsburgh — time to unleash PA energy by defending reliable & affordable sources & defeating @GovernorShapiro #RGGI energy tax. Let’s go!!! 🇺🇸

🧵Reminder of what is in @GovernorShapiro's awful state budget proposal, that would spend at least $5 billion more than revenues, drain state reserves, and require a tax hike of $2,000 per family in 2026. commonwealthfoundation.org/research/shapi…
Nearly 1/3 of the state budget goes to Medicaid. @GovernorShapiro wants to increase it by $2 billion. This isn't sustainable! We need commonsense reforms to stop the unsustainable growth in welfare spending and get more able-bodied, working age adults back to work.…
FLASHBACK: Shapiro stood by then Governor Tom Wolf when he VETOED the original bipartisan 'Save Women's Sports Act' of 2021. Will the House Democrats continue to shield him from approving a bill that saves girls with their delay tactics and parlor tricks?
Pennsylvania Missed the Budget Deadline—and Shapiro Has Nobody to Blame but Himself buff.ly/CZei8Sl
Today is the state budget deadline, and we still don't have a budget. Where is @GovernorShapiro? @AndrewLewisPA has some advice for the governor, if he truly wants to sign a responsible budget that puts Pennsylvania on a better path:
JUST IN! NEW POLLING: 🔴69% believe Shapiro needs to be more active in budget negotiations 🔴57% oppose Shapiro’s $51.5 billion budget proposal and its resulting $1,900 tax hike 🔴62% oppose Shapiro’s PACER + PRESS plans, which will cause $1,724 annual additional energy costs

"Gov. Shapiro can still do the right thing: Reach across the aisle, work with the legislature, and negotiate a budget that includes PASS/Lifeline Scholarships." @SenatorJWard @MeganMartin815 in @PittsburghPG buff.ly/HTjbm5R
🎉This week, we celebrated the opening of our new headquarters: The Thomas E. Beach Center. Located just steps from the state Capitol, we’re thrilled to have a new home to continue our mission of turning free-market ideas into policies that empower all Pennsylvanians to thrive!

"The first thing we need to do is immediately get out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)—a tax that increases energy bills and has placed significant uncertainty in the energy market—and not replace it with anything." buff.ly/o2auSP0
"Government unions leverage payroll deductions to funnel money to almost exclusively Democratic candidates, according to a new report in Pennsylvania." buff.ly/UUCY0qU
