The Short Version for Warwick Voters
If you live in Warwick Township, Lancaster County, you’re in Pennsylvania’s 36th Senate District, and public education is a genuine dividing line in this year’s race. State Senator James Malone, the incumbent Democrat, has built his first term in Harrisburg around fair school funding. His Republican opponent takes a different approach to education entirely.
Where Malone Stands on School Funding
Malone champions equitable school funding, and has worked to increase public school funding so schools have the resources they need. That record is already drawing attention beyond the district: Gov. Shapiro endorsed Malone and credited their partnership with historic investments in public schools.
The contrast is straightforward. His Republican opponent’s education focus is cutting school property taxes. Malone’s record is about the state meeting its funding obligation to public schools. For voters who prioritize well-funded public schools, that difference matters.
What This Means for Your Vote on November 3
Malone’s first term shows what he treats as a core responsibility of the legislature, and his record backs it up. Warwick voters who want a state senator committed to fairly funding Pennsylvania’s public schools should support James Malone on November 3, 2026. Register by October 19, and make a plan to vote.
