Senator Dave McCormick

Washington’s Trail is a powerful reminder of Pennsylvania’s central role in America’s founding. Proud to join @SenFettermanPA and @MikeKellyPA in advancing bipartisan legislation to preserve our history, strengthen heritage tourism, and invest in communities across Western PA. https://www.mychesco.com/a/news/national/washington-trail-push-could-reshape-tourism-across-western-pa/

Great tour at Crane Clean Energy Center at Three Mile Island yesterday. The Crane restart project brings 835 megawatts of nuclear power back online, thousands of jobs to make it happen, and 600 permanent jobs for PA. The nuclear revival is underway and PA is playing its part.

For 77 days, the regime in Tehran has restricted internet access for the Iranian people, trying to silence them and crush their freedom and dignity. It reeks of desperation from a bankrupt regime that completely lacks legitimacy and fears its own people. https://nypost.com/2026/05/15/world-news/iranians-ordered-to-make-pro-regime-posts-to-regain-internet-access/

This ongoing blackout is exactly why I introduced the Iran Human Rights, Internet Freedom, and Accountability Act with @SenJackyRosen in February. My bill sends a clear message: America stands with the Iranian people, not the regime that silenced and abused them.

This is real progress. And it’s a reminder that @POTUS’s strong leadership is making a difference in stopping the flow of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, saving lives. But one overdose death is still one too many. I’ll keep fighting alongside the president and law enforcement to stop fentanyl, combat drug overdoses, and protect PA families.

No senator should collect a paycheck while federal workers go without. That’s why, I voted YES this week to advance a commonsense measure to suspend Senate pay during shutdowns. I’ll never vote to shut down the government. But if Washington fails again, no senator should be paid during it.

Proud to see Pennsylvania students represented at the record-breaking 2026 @LaunchWithARC. Congrats to Downingtown HS East, Garnet Valley HS, Spring Grove Area HS, and Spring Grove Area Middle School for showcasing the talent, grit, and ingenuity that will power America’s future. https://www.rocketrychallenge.org/result/2026-finalists/

This is outrageous: billions meant for Medicaid beneficiaries should never become a slush fund for fraudsters and middlemen. And this report is just the tip of the iceberg. We must root out fraud, protect PA taxpayers, and preserve care for those who truly need it. https://www.dailywire.com/news/medicaid-millionaires-how-the-feds-pay-immigrants-billions-to-hang-out-with-their-families

Last week in Aliquippa, I saw PA’s energy future up close: an old plant being brought back online and converted to natural gas creating thousands of jobs, 2.5GW of new power, and a big win for our workers. My Unlock American Energy and Jobs Act will help get projects like this done faster.

Just voted to advance the CLARITY Act out of the @BankingGOP Committee with bipartisan support. This is a big step for crypto, consumer protection, and keeping the future of finance here in America. Now let’s get it to the Senate Floor and onto the @POTUS's desk.

Big day for American financial innovation. After months of bipartisan work, today’s @BankingGOP markup on the CLARITY Act brings us closer to cementing America’s place as the global leader in the future of finance. Let’s get it through markup and to the Senate Floor.

Happening today at 10:30 AM EST. @BankingGOP and I are voting to advance the CLARITY Act out of Committee. It’s time to bring clear rules, responsible innovation, and American leadership to the future of finance.
