My hope is that Pennsylvania can be a place where flexibility, contribution, and real community are available to each young adult who is transitioning out of the educational system. We can, and must, do better by these wonderful and important members of our community.

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...

Data center developers continue to put in proposals, and our communities are counting on us to provide solid, legally durable protections without delay- so we must keep these bills moving forward.

This legislation is an important part of a comprehensive package of tools that have been passed by the House which are designed to manage water usage, protect consumers from utility rate hikes, and provide transparency.

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

My bill does that by creating a local option for a pause on data center application considerations which, critically, is retroactive to the moment the public was notified of the meeting agenda including the pause. youtube.com/shorts/NXSAK...

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.

When students trust they won't face punishment for seeking help, they are far more likely to intervene in emergencies, saving lives.

🌳 Drives clean energy development and improves energy reliability. Data centers will be required to use an increasing amount of in-state “clean firm” energy, improving energy reliability, reducing emissions, and creating good local jobs for Pennsylvanians in industries destined for growth.

⚡️ Protects ratepayers from rising electricity costs. The bill explicitly prohibits cost-shifting from large data centers onto households and small businesses, ensuring that families, seniors, and small businesses are not subsidizing Big Tech.

We must protect our communities from the unrestrained development of data centers across our state. We in the House just passed a bill- HB1834- that takes important steps in that direction. This bill:

It's traumatic when they witness aggressive and violent immigration enforcement, and it erodes student and community safety. I raised these concerns with Education Secretary Rowe and asked what the Department is doing to help students and their schools as navigate this instability and trauma.
