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 It's modernizing outdated apprenticeship requirements and expanding opportunities to grow our workforce.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.

That's why I voted ๐๐Ž on Senate Bill 908. This misguided expansion of the Prevailing Wage Act will drive up taxpayer costs, hurt manufacturers and
threaten jobs across Pennsylvania.

๐Ÿ„June is National Dairy Month! ๐Ÿฅ›

Join me in celebrating the hardworking farmers and families in Cumberland and York Counties, who help make dairy one of Pennsylvaniaโ€™s most important agricultural industries. From supporting rural communities to powering local businesses, dairy is a true cornerstone of the commonwealthโ€™s economy.

Pennsylvania Dairy by the Numbers:
๐Ÿฎ#8 in U.S. milk production
๐Ÿฎ#2 in total dairy farms
๐Ÿฎ9.74 billion pounds of milk produced each year
๐Ÿฎ$11 billion in annual revenue
๐Ÿฎ47,000+ jobs supported
๐Ÿฎ#2 in butter production
๐Ÿฎ#3 in Swiss cheese production

From farm to table, Pennsylvaniaโ€™s dairy industry continues to deliver results worth celebrating and thatโ€™s something we can all โ€œbrieโ€ proud of. ๐Ÿง€๐Ÿ’™

I joined the @pachiroassn for a press conference to highlight the need to modernize Pennsylvaniaโ€™s Chiropractic Practice Act.
 
Chiropractors help patients manage pain, improve mobility and recover from injuries, yet outdated regulations in Pennsylvania prevent them from practicing to the full scope of their license.
 
My Senate Bill 1330 updates the law to reflect current training and standards, removes unnecessary hurdles and strengthens access to affordable, highโ€‘quality care across the commonwealth.
 
Thank you to the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association and the chiropractors who joined this discussion and continue advocating for their patients and profession.

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.
