Pennsylvania’s Republican-led State Senate has always been the odd one out.

They’ve been saying “NO” to anything that would help working Pennsylvanians for decades.

Trump promised Pennsylvanians he would lower inflation and tackle the affordability crisis.

Instead, we got tax cuts for big corporations, bigger grocery bills, higher healthcare costs, and citizen abductions.
