Senator Joe Pittman

SB416 was unanimously passed by the #PASenate to modernize the small games of chance law to allow non-profit organizations to accept online payments for their #fundraising efforts, such as raffles. Thank you to @SenRobinsonPA for leading this effort! 📰senatorrobinson.com/2025/07/16/rob…

The #PASenate convened for session in Harrisburg this week as work on the 2025-26 state budget progresses. At the conclusion of session on Thursday, I sat down with @pcntv to discuss the status of the 2025-2026 state budget and key issues surrounding it. youtube.com/watch?v=0ysXEC…

The #PASenate will convene for session this week on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. & on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. While there is still a good deal of work needed to reach a full 2025-26 state budget agreement, our discussions with the House & the Governor continue to advance.

What a great AI Summit in Pittsburgh today hosted by @SenMcCormickPA. #Pennsylvania has an incredible opportunity to showcase our God-given natural resources while being a leading destination for our nation’s #energy needs and cutting-edge technological advancements.

Pennsylvania is facing a multi-billion-dollar structural deficit. If we don’t figure out how to start right sizing our expenditures to match our revenues, we are going to have a fiscal calamity in a few short years. @pcntv youtube.com/watch?v=btm4q-…

Congratulations to Indiana on the incredible PIAA Class 4A #baseball championship win! Our community is so proud of your determination and drive throughout the season! #indianaproud @IndianaAreaSD

We are actively engaged in our work to complete a fiscally responsible 2025-26 state budget, but in this current fiscal year #Pennsylvania is faced with a $3 billion structural deficit. 🎥 facebook.com/SenatorPittman…

I was honored to be invited to take part in the Kickoff event for Leechburg Borough’s weeklong 175th Anniversary celebration. Throughout its rich history, Leechburg Borough in Armstrong County has been blessed with dedicated civic leaders who have helped it to grow and flourish!

Happy Birthday Senator Chris Gebhard of the 48th district representing Lebanon, Berks and Lancaster counties. You can follow him at @SenatorGebhard.

Transit already receives billions in state tax dollars annually. Yet on top of that, they are asking for a quarter billion more this year. We know the value of transit – but the infrastructure of roads & bridges across PA is also a vital consideration.

Members from the hospitality & tourism industries were at the capitol this week as part of the @prlaorg legislative day. I was pleased to meet with constituents from @IndianaCoTB & @laurelhighlands about their issues, as we work to enact pro-growth policies for PA.
