Greetings, 

The website has plenty of useful information on legislation, the 39th Senatorial district, constituent services and more. I hope you find it helpful! 

Senator Kim Ward

In 2008, Senator Ward won the Pennsylvania 39th Senatorial District seat and was the first woman ever elected to that seat. She was re-elected in 2012. Prior to her election to the Senate, she served as a Westmoreland County Commissioner in 2008, and on the Hempfield Township Board of Supervisors from 2002-2007 where she was Chairwoman of the Board for the final three years.

In her first term, Senator Ward successfully crafted legislation that reduced spending on state subsidized methadone treatment transportation; implemented the federal E-Verify program to ensure workers on publicly funded construction projects were legally permitted to work; and re-authorized the emergency services grant program. In addition, she led the charge for greater protections for PA children with groundbreaking legislation that created the Statewide Task Force on Child Protection. The premise behind the creation of the task force was to make recommendations to update PA’s aging child protection laws.
