A Harrisburg-area state representative says he will run for re-election, focusing his campaign on pocketbook issues.
On Monday, Democrat Dave Madsen declared his candidacy for a second term for 104th legislative district, which includes much of Allison Hill and south Harrisburg, plus Paxtang, Steelton, Highspire, Swatara Township and a portion of Lower Swatara Township.
“Central Pennsylvania needs leadership that is focused on creating more affordable/quality housing, passing policies that help our neighbors deal with rising costs, and providing a world-class education for our kids by adequately funding our schools,” Madsen said, in his announcement.
Madsen, a Bellevue Park resident, was first elected to the state House of Representatives in 2022. Previously, he served on Harrisburg City Council.
For his first term, Madsen cites his accomplishments as including securing “millions of dollars for local school districts” and securing grants, including for a new K-9 dog for the Swatara Township Police Department.
The Pennsylvania primary is slated for April 23, with the general election scheduled for Nov. 5.
“Our community needs someone fighting for them inside the Capitol dome,” Madsen said, in a statement. “I look forward to the upcoming campaign and continuing to fight for the residents of the 104th district and our commonwealth.”
