Community Development Champion: Senator David Argall

Senator David G. Argall represents the 29th District, which now includes 102 municipalities in northeastern Pennsylvania including all of Schuylkill and Carbon Counties, and parts of Luzerne County including the city of Hazleton.

Senator Argall has led successful battles to pass several new anti-blight laws. Because of his grassroots teamwork, “left behind” communities across Pennsylvania, from his hometown of Tamaqua to parts of our largest cities, have witnessed a positive transformation.

Senator Argall has also supported the expansion of affordable housing opportunities, including co-sponsoring legislation to expand funding for the state housing trust fund, PHARE.

In the Senate, he now chairs the Education Committee, one of the most active legislative committees at the Capitol. Senator Argall is also a leader in conservation, farmland preservation, and abandoned mine reclamation initiatives, locally as a volunteer Scout leader and as the author of legislation which has recycled more than 97 percent of Pennsylvania’s waste tires.
