I want to update constituents in the 31st District on the ongoing #PAbudget negotiations in Harrisburg.

It’s becoming clear the 2025-26 budget likely won’t be finalized by the June 30 deadline. While discussions continue, major hurdles remain.

Years of unchecked spending have left Pennsylvania with a structural deficit. We are spending more than we take in and that is not sustainable.

To protect taxpayers and our financial future, we must hold the budget line at $47.9 billion. I do not support Governor Shapiro’s push for new or increased taxes that would burden families and businesses.

I will continue working with my colleagues to ensure the 31st District’s voice is heard and fight to put Pennsylvania on a path toward fiscal stability and growth

Too many Pennsylvania patients are left in the dark when it comes to the cost of their care.

That’s why I introduced Senate Bill 752 to strengthen hospital price transparency and ensure patients can access clear, upfront pricing information before receiving treatment.
This bill would:

✅ Require hospitals to post standard charges clearly on their homepage

✅ Ensure prices are listed in U.S. dollars

✅ Prohibit debt collection or credit reporting if hospitals fail to comply

When patients can compare costs and understand potential out-of-pocket expenses, they can make informed choices about their healthcare. It's time we put patients first.

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.
