It has been my honor to serve as your State Representative. I humbly ask once again for your support as I seek re-election. As always, I will work diligently to uphold our shared conservative values of controlling spending, reforming Harrisburg and making Pennsylvania a better place to work and live. Allow me to reflect upon what “Dunbar has delivered” over my tenure as Your State Representative:
First and foremost, a legislator is responsible for crafting policy and drafting bills that ultimately may become the law of the Commonwealth. In this regard, I have been very successful having nine of my bills signed into law:
-
- Elimination of a wasteful welfare program, cash assistance, that lacked basic accountability standards.
- Additional control and oversight of the Department of Revenues Enhanced Revenue Collection Account.
- Exempting COVID Payroll Protection Grants from being taxable in Pennsylvania.
- Elimination of the outdated and unnecessary office of jury commissioner.
- Revision the Business Privilege Tax law so companies are no longer double taxed.
- Reformation of the procurement process to ensure those awarding contracts are not affiliated with companies receiving Government contracts.
- Simplified the Department of Revenue process of dealing with corporate amended returns to make Pa more business friendly.
- The omnibus gaming bill which was the final piece to solving this year’s budget stalemate.
- Act 32 update to ensure consistency across the state.
