BETHLEHEM, PA — January 7, 2026— Pennsylvania State Senator Lisa Boscola today announced her bid for re-election to represent the 18th Senatorial District.
Recently, identified as one of Pennsylvania’s most active and effective Senators, she is a champion of efforts to expand voter access, promote economic growth, and deliver commonsense results for families, seniors, and communities in every corner of the district.
“During my time in Harrisburg, I’ve worked tirelessly to put people over politics and to keep our taxes low – all while helping those in need,” said Boscola. “Growing our economy, investing in our neighborhoods, and expanding opportunity for everyone is how you build a better tomorrow,” continued Senator Boscola. “I’m running for re-election because there is more work to do — to strengthen our schools without crushing our homeowners, address energy affordability with an all of the above approach to generation and make government more efficient.”
Throughout her legislative career, Senator Boscola has been a leader with proven results:
Recent legislative success. She was the prime sponsor of the bill that brought no-excuse mail-in voting to Pennsylvania. She led the charge to move Pennsylvania into several medical compacts to make it easier for health professionals to practice here. Her persistence on pushing for harsher penalties on individuals who fail to remove snow and ice from their cars and trucks is the only reason the law was changed.
Supporting meaningful reforms to government and the legislative process, including championing constitutional amendments to create an independent redistricting commission, allow for direct ballot initiative, shrink the size of the legislature and eliminate school property taxes, among others.
Fighting for our school’s fair share of funding, along with common-sense Cyber Charter reforms that save school districts and taxpayers money.
Securing $140,336,770 million in critical resources for local projects that support infrastructure, job creation, public safety, affordable housing projects and community development throughout the Lehigh Valley.
Legislation addressing energy affordability and data centers. Incentivizing solar on warehouses, reforming ACT 129 to help homeowners with energy efficiency projects, updating Chapter 14 to help individuals struggling with high electric bills and making sure data centers pay for needed upgrades, not residential consumers.
Senator Boscola’s commitment to bipartisan solutions — delivering practical results for her constituents — underscores her reputation as a representative who puts her community’s needs first.
“I will continue to work across the aisle to find common-sense solutions that improve the lives of those I represent,” Boscola added. “We may not always agree on everything, but we can always agree that our government should respond to the needs of the people.”
Senator Boscola resides in Bethlehem Township with her husband and remains deeply engaged with community leaders, local businesses, and families throughout the district.

Living off you and me since 1994.
Almost as impressive and productive as Samuelson
I'll drink to this.
Boy do we need term limits because voters are stupid.
I’m a moderate conservative registered Republican who proudly votes for Boscola.
She's wanting to stay in as long as the Freemansburg Mayor Yob goes and he's 90 (something).
How many times will we hear that canard about eliminating school taxes? It’s been maybe 30 years now?
They can’t be eliminated because schools have bonds outstanding.

She is a drunk
TERM LIMITS, TERM LIMITS, TERM LIMITS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!
She did a good job before and is a candidate l have confidence in. We need leaders who have demonstrated good judgment and thoughtful, fair and legal representation. In the past she did a good job and was not swayed by nonsense and silly political issues. She was always the adult in the room.
There should be term limits at ALL levels of government.
She's a drunk...seen it myself many times...
What is the average age of our current batch of state legislators?
As a sportsman working with hunters, fisherman and outdoor enthusiast most of my adult life, I have had the support of Senator Boscola on all my endeavors. Shortly after we started the Tri-Boro Sportsmen Club in Northampton we asked Lisa to help with funding a major project along the Lehigh Canal. She came up with $10,000.00 in State aide to get the project done. When I asked her for her support with a water run off problem at the East Bath Rod and Gun Club, she helped with funding $5,000.00 to help us resolve that problem. When I worked with the State and Federal Government to Complete the Bridge over the Lehigh River Lisa supported our efforts to have the Feds build a boat launch and parking area under the bridge so sportsmen would have access to the Lower Lehigh River. When the Federation of Sportsmens Club was having financial difficulty she was there to help us get started with our first Banquet. Twenty four years ago that first Banquet netted over $40,000.00 and the monies went to support the Youth Field Day Program, The Federation, and the Northampton County Junior Conservation School. Today, that same banquet has raised over two million
Dollars and the Banquet known as The whitetail Deer Classic is still going strong thanks to Rich Tobias and his excellent Group of volunteers. These are only a few of the projects where she helped the sportsmen and women of this County. Thank you Lisa for all you do and good luck in your re-election campaign.

Have a drink on me!
Time to retire a career politician!
Can we reserve tickets yet for the Boscola/Sultana debate?
Please cover Amy Zanelli!
As a non-MAGA republican, she is probably the only local democrat remaining that I don't have any hesitation voting for. She's done a lot of good things for the LV over the years that don't make headlines. It's clear she wants nothing to do with the Sultana brand of progressive insanity that would destroy the area and drive up costs for working people.
Also, nobody cares anymore about her personal issues from decades ago.
She's "in bed" with MAGAts.
