Hi Folks,

000

Our September 2026 "District Deliberations" E-Newsletter is out - My staff and I have been busy working for you! - There's info about our "Hometown Heroes"; My Legislative Highlights including House Bill 2758 to protect voters from intimidation; Deadlines for the upcoming General Election; and MORE.

Under the current law, investor-owned utility companies are financially incentivized to join a regional transmission organization. This unfair practice has passed costs onto consumers.

100

Today, my House Bill 2755 - Ending Excess Utility Profits - passed the House Energy Committee with strong bipartisan support. HB 2755 would mandate regional transmission organization participation and eliminate unneeded incentives.

100

Thank you to the Shapiro Administration for all of their hard work on this very important issue!

000

The Shapiro Administration has also been convening and staffing the Pennsylvania Food Policy Council to address the complex issues contributing to food insecurity and food waste, and develop strategies to improve nutrition and support healthy, equitable food systems.

An additional $8.3 million has been invested in 230 eligible nonprofit organizations across PA to assist in enhancing their food recovery and distribution programs.

100

These investments include $46.5 million to provide universal free breakfast to all of Pennsylvania's 1.7 million public school students and free lunch to all 22,000 students who are eligible for reduced-price lunches through the National School Lunch Program.

100

Since taking office, the Shapiro Administration has been investing in food security and food recovery across the Commonwealth.

Thanks to her extraordinary work, Hispanic businesses are present in the spaces where decisions about Philadelphia’s economic future are made.

000

For the past ten years, Jennifer Rodriguez has led the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, working to connect Latino entrepreneurs with resources, training, and growth opportunities.

100

Rodriguez later earned her master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania. After finishing her education, Rodriguez joined the community organization Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha (APM).

100

Our next Hispanic Heritage Month Highlight is Jennfier Rodriguez. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Rodriguez studied business administration at Boston University. After graduation, she worked at the National Academy of Sciences in the Ford Foundation Fellowship Program.

To remediate this issue, data centers may seek certification to be a public convenience, which would make them a public utility. If data centers become a public utility, they could preempt local municipal zoning ordinances and reduce communities’ control over land-use decisions.

100

Since 2020, when data centers started to be constructed, Pennsylvania’s energy costs have risen by over 70%. With estimates of up to 130 active data centers and an additional 55 data centers proposed, planned, or under construction, this problem will only get worse without proper regulation.

House Judiciary Committee approves voter intimidation protection bill

Today, the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee reported out House Bill 2758, introduced by state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and co-sponsored by state Reps. Chris Pielli, Liz Hanbidge, Paul Friel, and Pe...

The right to cast a vote without fear, obstruction, or intimidation is something that we Pennsylvanians hold sacred no matter what one's political affiliation may be.

Chris Pielli @reppielli.com · 25/09/2026

Today, I spoke about my co-prime sponsored House Bill 2758 --protecting voters from intimidation at the polls -- to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee. The bill has now passed in the Judiciary Committee.

PA can lead the nation in ending cruel experimentation on our beloved dogs and cats while charting a path forward that not only will save countless human lives, but also the lives of countless dogs and cats.

000

It would also ensure product testing companies utilize innovative non-animal alternatives when approved for use, accelerating the transition away from outmoded animal tests.

200

SB 381 blocks cruel devocalization procedures; creates adoption opportunities for dogs and cats once their time in research labs has ended; and establishes basic protections for dogs bred for testing purposes.

Recent data shows that Pennsylvania laboratories, including state institutions of higher learning, confine thousands of dogs and cats for this inhumane purpose.

100

Today, I voted in favor of Senate Bill 381 - aka the Beagle Bill - as the bill was passed through the Judiciary Committee. This bi-partisan bill will defund painful dog and cat testing in Pennsylvania and shine a light on the scope of cruel, wasteful animal experiments across our Commonwealth.
