Argall Appointed Chair of Senate Majority Policy Committee

HARRISBURG - State Sen. Dave Argall (R-29) has again been appointed by Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R-39) as chairman of the Senate Majority Policy Committee for the 2025-26 legislative session. In this role, Argall continues his tenure as a member of the Senate Majority Leadership Team, the first senator from the 29th district in Schuylkill, Carbon, and Luzerne counties to serve in Senate leadership since the 1860s.

"Senator Argall will be a key member of the Senate Majority Leadership Team for the 2025-26 legislative session," said Ward. "Having served on seven Senate committees last session, Dave's experience and knowledge on the issues provide him with a keen understanding on matters important to Pennsylvanians and make him a natural fit to serve as Chairman of the Majority Policy Committee."

"Chairing the Majority Policy Committee allows me to examine a great variety of legislative ideas through public hearings and careful review, including the shortage of quality housing, the spread of blight, and the impact of crime on our largest cities and smallest neighborhoods," said Argall.

Under Argall's leadership, the Majority Policy Committee has crisscrossed the state, holding hearings on the impact of covid-19 lockdowns on employers and schools, waste and abuse in state welfare programs, and repeat DUI offenders.

Argall also chaired ten public roundtables throughout Pennsylvania on school safety, hearing from parents, students, and educators. Since then, Pennsylvania has invested hundreds of millions of new dollars into school security enhancements and student mental health support.
