Lisa Baker (R) first assumed office in 2006, and has served as the state senator for District 20 since. 

“My legislative agenda has always been shaped by the priorities shared by families and communities. I have heard your concerns about public safety, affordability, and good jobs. These matters are central to my efforts on your behalf,” reads her campaign website. 

Baker’s priorities include keeping Pennsylvania safe, affordable and competitive. She supports recruiting and retaining additional law enforcement and first responders, ensuring conservative spending levels in the state budget, and expanding educational opportunities to connect students with family-sustaining jobs. She also supports increased election security through Voter ID and resisting efforts to shut down the energy sector. 

Baker serves as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Recently, the committee under Baker’s leadership has passed legislation to improve the effectiveness and reliability of Pennsylvania’s parole process, to fight human trafficking and expand protections for crime victims, children and animals. 

Additionally, Baker is the prime sponsor of legislation that would improve protections for children getting on and off school buses by creating a tiered penalty system for repeat offenders who overtake or illegally pass a school bus. 

“Parents place their trust in all of us when their children step onto a school bus,” Baker said. “We should do everything possible to make sure those children arrive at school and return home safely.”

Baker has previously supported an overturn of the Delaware River Basin Commission’s ban on fracking throughout the river basin, saying at a 2025 roundtable, “We have been fighting through the legislative process, through the courts and other [methods], and we see such a tremendous unfairness to the landowners here who have been harmed” by the ban.
