Last month the PA House Democratic Policy Committee visited Camphill Life at Beaver Farm to talk about the challenges and needed opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities. If you found that to be of interest, I want to offer this video called 'Raising Bar'. vimeo.com/1161873014

Healthcare should never be an extractive business. But the way our system currently 'works' allows for and even incentivizes these practices, and at tragic human cost. It is clearly time for some major reforms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1RS...

The Senate Local Government Committee unanimously passed my bill allowing municipalities to enact a 180 day pause on data center proposals, an important step toward providing local officials with the breathing room they need to put strong protections into place for their communities.

Rep. Paul Friel @repfriel.com · 24/06/2026

Our communities deserve protection from unfettered data center development. Local governments need breathing room to develop data center ordinances thoughtfully, transparently, and with meaningful public input.

As we finalize the state budget, it is essential that we keep our farms front and center and support our farmers not just in word & deed. My two farm bills with this aim have passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support and the support of the PA and Chester & Delaware Co Farm Bureaus.

A bill that recently passed the state house could change what goes in to Pennsylvania farmers' fertilizer—and supporters say it might just smell better.

Hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians are losing their healthcare coverage due to federal cuts. This puts even more pressure on local hospitals who will see unreimbursed costs rise and will inevitably result in additional hospital closures.

In all of the chatter about ICE raids, people will sometimes argue that immigrants don't have constitutional protections like the right to due process. Reality is that immigrants have many rights, regardless of their legal status. This article is a helpful primer. www.forbes.com/sites/andyjs...
