Sen. David Argall, R-29, was sworn into office Tuesday for an additional term as the state senator for Schuylkill, Carbon and southern Luzerne counties.

“I was honored that every single precinct in the 29th District, from Pitman to the Poconos, voted to send me back to Harrisburg as their voice in our state Senate,” said Argall. “My main goal remains the same: to continue to work with my local partners to breathe new life into all of our towns across this Senate district.”

Argall was appointed the chair of the Senate Majority Policy Committee for the 2025-26 legislative session by President Pro Tempore Kim Ward, R-39. In this role, Argall will crisscross the state, holding public hearings and workshops on a wide range of issues facing Pennsylvanians.

The committee will kick off hearings today in Hamburg to examine how to reuse long-vacant state properties.

“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,” Argall said.

Constituents who need assistance with state-related issues can contact his district offices in Hazleton, Pottsville, Mahanoy City and Weissport, which are open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
