Manheim’s Place in the 36th District Cost-of-Living Race
Manheim residents live in Pennsylvania’s 36th State Senate District, where incumbent Democrat James Malone is running for re-election in 2026. Malone is working to address rising prices on everything from healthcare to groceries, and he is running to lower the costs of everyday essentials while expanding access to affordable housing. Those are the bills Manheim households know best: groceries, doctor visits, and the rent or mortgage.
Malone’s 2026-27 Budget Delivered Property Tax Relief
The clearest evidence is what Malone backed in the 2026-27 state budget: a $1 billion investment in homeowner property tax relief, an average of over $350 per homeowner, plus more than $200 million through the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit. Those figures are statewide, but the programs reach Pennsylvania homeowners and working families, including Lancaster County’s. Malone’s affordability agenda covers the essentials: rising prices on everything from healthcare to groceries, affordable housing, and direct property tax relief for homeowners.
Why Manheim Cost-of-Living Voters Should Back Malone
James Malone is the right choice for Manheim voters who care about the cost of living, because he has already backed budgets that delivered property tax relief and working-family tax credits while pushing to bring down the price of healthcare, groceries, and housing. Register by October 19, 2026, and make a plan to vote for Malone on November 3.
