Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has officially endorsed Brad Chambers for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in District 41, which includes East Hempfield Township, West Hempfield Township, Mountville Borough, Columbia Borough, and part of Manor Township.

Governor Shapiro joins 41 other Pennsylvania elected officials, community leaders, labor unions, and organizations in endorsing Brad Chambers’ candidacy for the State House. This rapidly growing coalition reflects the momentum behind Chambers' campaign and his commitment to advancing the issues that matter most to working Pennsylvanians.

Some of Brad Chambers’ other endorsements include:

  • Bob Casey, United States Senator
  • Joanna McClinton, Speaker of the PA State House
  • Malcolm Kenyatta, PA State Rep. HD-181
  • Izzy Smith-Wade-El, PA State Rep. HD-49
  • Mike Sturla, PA State Rep. HD-96
  • Alice Yoder, Lancaster County Commissioner
  • EASRCC
  • IBEW Local 743
  • AFL-CIO
  • PSEA-PACE
  • SEIU PA State Council
  • Conservation Voters of PA
  • Human Rights Campaign
  • Planned Parenthood of PA
“This campaign has always been about the people of the 41st and ensuring that their voices are heard in Harrisburg,” said Chambers. “I’m honored to have the support of Governor Shapiro and so many others who share my vision for a Pennsylvania that truly works for Lancaster County’s working families.”

The Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee (PA HDCC) has identified Chambers' race in HD-41 as "one of the most competitive races in the state." With all 203 seats in the Pennsylvania House up for election in 2024, and Democrats holding only a narrow one-seat majority, Chambers' race is crucial to expanding that majority.

"Defending and expanding our majority in the State House is essential to continuing the work already started for Pennsylvania’s families," said Chambers. "Under the leadership of Governor Shapiro and House Democrats, historic strides have been made in public education, workers' rights, and economic growth. But there's so much more to accomplish, and I’m ready to advocate for the people of Lancaster County in Harrisburg.”
