2026 Pennsylvania General Election 

HARRISBURG – Rep. Tim O’Neal (R-Washington) today announced he is spearheading a six-bill legislative package aimed at addressing Pennsylvania’s growing property tax burden, improving school district accountability and giving homeowners greater control over the taxes they pay.

Four other colleagues from across the state have joined him in introducing these bills: Reps. Marc Anderson (R-York), Jack Rader (R-Monroe), Ryan Warner (R-Fayette) and Ann Flood (R-Northampton).

O’Neal, Anderson, Rader, Warner, Flood Unveil Common-Sense, Six-Bill Property Tax Reform Package

“I feel like a broken record. The affordability crisis is real and people are struggling. This proposal by Gov. Shapiro is irresponsible and will contribute to rising costs across the state. We cannot continue to rely on new taxes and accounting tricks to fill in the gaps. The only way to raise revenue without digging deeper into the pockets of Pennsylvanians is to inject new life into our state’s economy. Get government out of the way by making it easier for people to save money, get to work and earn in Pennsylvania. When the economy grows, so does state revenue. We do this by leveraging Pennsylvania’s greatest economic strength – our energy sector.”

Grow the Economy Instead of Taxes, O’Neal Says

Spearheads a six-bill package to address property taxes, improve school-district accountability, and give homeowners more control over the taxes they pay.

Calls for economic growth and a reduction in government barriers rather than raising taxes to increase state revenue.

• Accountability in Education Spending (O’Neal): Establishes a formula to rank school districts by student performance on standardized tests against per-student spending. School districts ranking in the bottom half statewide would be required to obtain voter approval before increasing property tax rates. The bill would encourage responsible and targeted spending, while recognizing that taxpayers deserve real results for their investment.

“Secondly, this budget provides $50 million more in financial assistance to students in struggling schools. Students in economically disadvantaged schools cannot wait for education reforms to work. This financial assistance will help families ensure students get a quality education.

“Finally, this budget reins in out-of-control government spending. By reforming our public benefit systems, we can ensure that help is going to the Pennsylvanians that need it the most.”

O’Neal Supports Budget to Unleash PA’s Energy Potential

HARRISBURG – Rep. Tim O’Neal (R-Washington), Republican whip, today joined other members of House Republican leadership in penning a letter to Attorney General Dave Sunday calling for his office to investigate the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) for discrimination against Jewish students.

“All children should have equal access to education,” O’Neal said. “The reports of alleged behavior by teachers and administrators are alarming. Antisemitism has no place in our society but especially in the classroom. All students should have a safe learning environment and not feel uncomfortable due to their race or religion.”

Proposes requiring lower-performing school districts to obtain voter approval before raising property-tax rates.

Supports $50 million in additional financial assistance for students in economically disadvantaged schools.

“Pennsylvanians has an abundance of natural gas under our feet. It is the most affordable and reliable source of energy. We should be embracing it, not shunning it. Despite interest from major companies in constructing a multi-billion-dollar liquified natural gas facility in Philadelphia, building and permitting regulations have stood in the way. A facility like this would result in billions of dollars in statewide economic investment and create ripple effects such as creating thousands of new jobs.”

“First and foremost, this budget removes the Commonwealth from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). RGGI, a multi-state carbon tax compact which former Gov. Tom Wolf forced us into without legislative approval, has driven up energy prices on residents and businesses. Leaving RGGI will revitalize Pennsylvania’s energy industry and, in turn, will help bring down energy costs as utility bills continue to rise. In addition, this budget includes critical permitting reform, which will remove barriers to businesses in the Commonwealth and help attract new family-sustaining jobs to our communities.”
