Pennsylvania needs more eฬฒlฬฒeฬฒcฬฒtฬฒrฬฒiฬฒcฬฒiฬฒaฬฒnฬฒsฬฒ, not more bฬฒuฬฒrฬฒeฬฒaฬฒuฬฒcฬฒrฬฒaฬฒcฬฒyฬฒ.

That's why ๐ˆ ๐ฏ๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐๐Ž ๐จ๐ง ๐’๐ž๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽ. This bill creates new licensing mandates, fees and regulatory hurdles for electricians at a time when employers are struggling to find skilled workers.

The answer isn't more red tape. It's modernizing outdated apprenticeship requirements and expanding opportunities to grow our workforce. You can listen to my remarks about this bill and read about my Senate Bill 439 that addresses the issue at link in my bio.

Fluoride in our public water shouldnโ€™t be a one-size-fits-all mandate. I recently joined @wgal8 to talk about my bill, the Fluoride Choice Act, which gives Pennsylvanians a voice in deciding whether fluoride is added to their local water supply.

threaten jobs across Pennsylvania.

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.
