  • 2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House
    2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House and Senate Goals in November General Election: Although there are 17 Democratic-held seats in districts that Trump won, the release specifically pinpointed House Districts 33, 55, 72, and 123 as “just a few targets for Republicans” in the upcoming election. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny) represents the least Trump friendly district of those four targets, with the president carrying the 33rd state House District by 5 points over Sec. Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to DailyKos. Dermody’s closest reelection bid since the last two presidential elections was in 2014 when he fended off Republican Sean Watson by 6 points, according to Ballotpedia. Dermody is slated to face Carrie DelRosso, an Oakmont Borough Councilmember and businesswoman, for the seat in the fall. State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) represents the most Trump friendly district of the four targets with Trump winning the 72nd state House District by 43 points over Clinton in 2016. Burns’ closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2018 when he edged out Republican Gerald Carnicella by 5 points, according to Ballotpedia. Burns will face Republican Howard Terndrup for his reelection bid in November. State Rep. Joe Petrarca’s (D-Westmoreland) 55th state House District is also very favorable to Trump with the president carrying his district by 33 points in 2016, according to DailyKos. Petrarca ran unopposed in 2018 and his closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2012 when he defeated Republican John Hauser, although his 2016 victory over Republican Michael Geiselhart was a 13 point win, according to Ballotpedia.

  • Legislative UPDATE
    November 16, 2020 Legislative UPDATE Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education "State lawmakers return to Harrisburg [this week for] what has become a rarity in recent years with a post-election session in which substantive legislation is expected to be considered," reports PennLive. According to Capitolwire, their work will primarily focus on trying "to figure out a way to finish off the state’s 2020-21 state budget (as well as appropriate $1.3 billion in federal CARES Act funding), of which there are seven months remaining to be addressed." Federal CARES Act funding must be spent by December 31st on COVID-19 related needs. The $25.8 billion interim budget funded education for kindergarten to 12th grade at the same level as 2019-20, and it also fully funded colleges and universities, including Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education. The current two-year legislative comes to an end on November 30th. If a balanced buget is not settled upon by then, providers, grantees and others would be impacted. Senate Session & Committee Activity Senate Session Days | Watch Session Live | Senate Calendars | Senate Committee Meeting Schedule The Senate stands in recess until the call of the President Pro Tempore, but is presently scheduled to convene today and again Tuesday through Thursday. In committee activity, Senate Appropriations is scheduled to consider these bills of interest: • SB 1350 (Browne): A supplement to and act to provide from the General Fund for the expenses of the Executive, Legislative & Judicial Departments, the public debt & the public schools for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

  • 2020 Voter Guide State Legislative Races Pittsburgh Diocese
    2020 Voter Guide State Legislative Races Pittsburgh Diocese The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference is the public affairs arm of the Catholic bishops across the state. We monitor hundreds of pieces of legislation throughout the year and determine whether or not to take a position for or against what we feel are the ones most important to our faith. This Voter Guide includes a cross-section of seven bills spanning seven categories to show how incumbent legislators have voted. We have also invited their challengers in the general election to indicate how they would vote on these same bills. This guide is meant to be an educational piece, which we hope will provide you with information so that you can make your own decisions. A listing of the bills used for this comparison and their descriptions are below. The overall scores given to each candidate indicate the percentage of times they vote in support of PCC’s position and the percentage of times they voted in opposition to PCC’s position. Please understand we continue to work with legislators from all parties on various pieces of legislation. Unlike these, not all of that legislation has been sent to the Governor. The Conference neither supports nor opposes any candidate or political party. The Catholic Conference aims to educate and inform Catholics about a wide range of issues. List of issues included for comparison: Pro Life: House Bill 321 was a prolife measure which would prohibit the aborting of a fetus solely on the basis of a possible diagnosis of Down syndrome. The PCC strongly supported this bill and worked with prolife lawmakers to gain its passage.

WHEREAS, the Attorney General of Texas filed a meritless lawsuit Texas v Pennsylvania, et al in the Supreme Court of the United States to throw out millions of legitimate ballots cast by Pennsylvanians on November 3, 2020. On December 10, 2020, five members of Pennsylvania's Congressional delegation Representatives Fred Keller, Mike Kelly, John Joyce, Dan Meuser, and Scott Perry joined the amicus brief, “U.S. Representative Mike Johnson and 125 other Members” including 24 Pennsylvania State Senators (full list of names attached) and 72 members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives (full list of names attached) in three separate amicus briefs filed in Texas v Pennsylvania, et al; and WHEREAS, Senator Doug Mastriano along with members of the Senate Majority Policy Committee organized a taxpayer-funded public hearing on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, to investigate the integrity of elections but was in fact a forum to publicly air witness testimonies that claimed wide-spread 2020 election fraud which had been rejected by dozens of state and federal courts as irrelevant and non-credible; and WHEREAS, United States Congressman Scott Perry, as reported by The New York Times and various news outlets, brokered a meeting between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Clark from the Department of Justice in an attempt to install an acting Attorney General who sympathized with Mr. Trump’s claims of election fraud; and WHEREAS, on January 6, 2021, hundreds stormed the United States Capitol and even after this insurrection, 147 Members of Congress voted to sustain objections to certify the electoral results in two states where Trump lost (Arizona and Pennsylvania); and WHEREAS, State Senator Douglas Mastriano organized bus trips for Washington, DC for a rally on January 6, 2021.

    Legislative Locator Legislative Locator A Monthly Publication of The Pennsylvania Municipal League May 2019 TAKE ACTION! Attention Local Officials: Please reach out to your Senators and members of the Senate Transportation Committee where Senate Bill 607 awaits a vote - and express your support! Senate Bill 607 (PN 675) authorizes the use of radar and LIDAR for all municipal police. This proposal is supported by the Radar Coalition, which includes The League and PSATC. Please consider adopting a resolution supporting local use of radar in your municipality. We are providing a sample resolution on our website. If you have adopted a resolution in past sessions, it should be updated. In addition, we are providing a sample press release to use after adopting a resolution to let your residents know that municipal radar is a priority in your community and to encourage them to advocate for the passage of Senate Bill 607, too. Three other proposals have been introduced this session, which include provisions that authorize the restricted use of radar, they are: House Bill 74 (PN 78), introduced by Representative Greg Rothman; House Bill 352 (PN 328), introduced by Representative Bill Kortz; and House Bill 1275 (PN 1483), introduced by Representative Kurt Masser. The League and PSATC currently do not support these proposals as drafted due to their restrictive nature. All three of these bills are currently before the House Transportation Committee. (See SB 607 summary on next page) 1 Leisatie Locato Leisatie Locato Local Use of Radar and LIDAR Senate Bill 607 (PN 675), introduced by Senator Mario Scavello, amends Title 75 (Vehicles) authorizing the local use of both radar and LIDAR by any police officer.
