HARRISBURG – State Senator David G. Argall (R-29) will chair the Senate Majority Policy Committee once again in 2025-26.

Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R-39) appointed the Rush Township senator recently.

“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.”

Argall is the first senator from the lower anthracite to serve in Senate leadership since the 1860s, Argall said in a release.

“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.

The Majority Policy Committee, under Argall’s leadership, held numerous hearings statewide on coronavirus lockdowns, abuse in state welfare programs, and more.

He also chaired ten public roundtables throughout the state on school safety.
