Senator Dawn Keefer Rejects Governor Shapiroโ€™s โ€œLightning Planโ€as Costly Overreach

โ€œToday, Gov. Josh Shapiro rolled out his โ€˜Lightning Planโ€™ at Voith Hydro in my district, touting it as some visionary fix for Pennsylvaniaโ€™s energy future. As the Senator for the 31st District, representing the hardworking people of York and Cumberland counties, Iโ€™m calling it what it is: a big-government overreach that threatens our economic backbone with more spending, more bureaucracy and more empty promises.  [Read More]

We MUST protect womenโ€™s sports and ensure a level playing field for our female athletes. Today, in support of our young women, I voted to advance Senate Bill 9 to the full Pennsylvania Senate for consideration. 

This legislation would ensure that school athletic teams designated for women cannot allow biological males to participate. I believe this bill will help right the ship for our women athletes in high school and college sports.

๐ŸšซYesterday, I opposed Senate Bill 470 in committee. Though its goal to enhance firefighter training is commendable, schools can already offer it, and we have a grant program in place for this purpose. 

I believe we can better serve our communities by making the most of we haveโ€”increasing government efficiency rather than expanding bureaucracy.

Meet Senator Keefer

Dawn Keefer has been a champion of right-sizing government and reining in government regulation during her time in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 2017-2024, and since her election to the state Senate in November 2024. As State Representative of the 92nd legislative district in Northern York County, Keefer cut her legislative teeth during her first year in office, developing a non-taxing solution to balance a state budget that included $1.5 billion more in spending than in projected revenues.
