Senator Judy Ward

The Senate has unanimously approved my legislation, Senate Bill 782, to help address a shortage of qualified instructors who train emergency responders across the state. You can read more about it here - senatorjudyward.com/2026/03/16/war…

Once again, Democrats in the House resort to partisan political tricks to avoid voting on my bill, the Save Women's Sports Act, to protect our daughters & prevent them from having to compete against men. It is past time for Democrats to do the right thing & save women's sports.

I joined Sen. Lisa Baker, to introduce Sen. Res. 232, recognizing Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week here in PA, which is March 8-14. The theme this year is “Inhale Confidence, Exhale Limits.” Pulmonary disease is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US & the 5th leading cause in PA.

As an under-recognized and underdiagnosed condition, estimated to affect 1 in 2,000 Americans, Senate Resolution 235, brings much needed attention to the symptoms and disorders associated with Narcolepsy.

Each year, Suddenly Sleepy Saturday falls on the day before we turn our clock ahead for Daylight Saving Time. This one-hour change in the day can lead many without Narcolepsy to experience some of Narcolepsy’s classic symptoms, such as excessive daytime sleepiness.

I introduced Senate Resolution 235 designating March 7, as “Suddenly Sleepy Saturday for Narcolepsy Awareness” in PA. Suddenly Sleepy Saturday was established in 2012 to generate public awareness of Narcolepsy.

As co-chair of the Rare Disease Caucus, I understand the impact of rare diseases on those affected & their loved ones. I was proud to join in this effort by introducing a resolution designating February 28, 2026, as “Rare Disease Day” in Pennsylvania. palegis.us/senate/co-spon…

“A horrific trend is taking place, and our children are under attack.” @SenatorJWard ❌ Over $31 million in taxpayer funding. ❌ Over 6,200 children. (And that’s just children covered with PA taxpayer funding.) Time for Pennsylvania to pass the Do No Harm Act.

“It’s just a horrible, horrible thing, and we’re doing it to children,” @SenatorJWard told @realDailyWire “It is child abuse [in] every sense of the word.” Thank you, Senator Judy Ward, for leading the effort in Pennsylvania to pass the much-needed Do No Harm Act.
