GEORGE DUNBAR…Delivering for us.

It is my privilege to serve you in the state legislature. My record as a conservative voice of reason and common sense in the legislature is clear:

• Passed a balanced budget on time - for the first time in seven years - that didn’t raise taxes and reduced actual state spending $1 billion while still protecting vital services;
  
  
• Pushed for strong reforms to the Redevelopment Capital Assistance Program (RCAP) to insure taxpayer money is being spent wisely and not on libraries for politicians;
  
  
• Prime-sponsor of the law giving county commissioners the option to vote on whether or not to keep the outdated position of jury commissioner. Our Westmoreland County Commissioners have since voted to abolish the post - to protect our tax dollars.
  
  
• Reformed the state’s tort system to curb lawsuit abuse and changed the welfare system to provide
  real accountability;
  
  
• Passed regulatory reform and infrastructure upgrade legislation to make Pennsylvania more
  competitive in job creation;
  
  
• Forced State House members to pay a portion of their own healthcare like those in the private
  sector do;
  
  
• Refused a taxpayer paid car – he drives his own vehicle - and does not take per diems – only
  submitting actual business expenses. He refused the automatic COLA and continues to work to
  eliminate it;
  
  
• Established strong cooperation between state and local government by actively addressing
  overdue traffic issues along Route 130 by working with PennDOT, the Turnpike Commission and
  Penn Township on a plan to fix the Turnpike bridge and improve the intersection without wasting
  time or materials;
  
  
• Created a comprehensive and easily searchable online database of state spending to make the
  budget process more transparent to protect taxpayers; and,
  
  
• Passed the Castle Doctrine to reinforce a person’s right to defend themselves, their families, and
  their homes in the face of an attacker.
  
  
• Worked to protect our Pro-Life values.

I will continue to work to ensure state spending is focused on our priorities, strong reforms are passed
in Harrisburg and our values are always protected.
