Keystone State Key In Trump Win
By Sen. Scott Wagner 
We did it!
What a roller coaster election.
Congratulations to the 2.9 million Pennsylvania voters who came out yesterday and cast their vote for Donald J. Trump as our next President of the United States.
We have once again earned our nickname, “The Keystone State.”
Pennsylvania was instrumental in pushing Donald Trump over the finish line, turning our state RED for the first time since 1988.
York County voters came out big to vote for Donald Trump.
Here in York County, the unofficial vote count is as follows:
Donald Trump – 126,933
Hillary Clinton – 67,428
I keep hearing the same question being asked in the media: How did this happen?
I can tell you how it happened.
Working class men and women came out in record numbers to vote for Donald Trump.
They’re tired and fed up with getting the same old excuses out of our elected officials and bureaucrats in Washington.
Our roads and bridges are crumbling; Obamacare is strangling the middle class; our economy is stagnant; and most importantly, taxpayers are tired of being overlooked and underappreciated.
Donald Trump’s victory is a huge win for taxpayers – your message and this Movement were heard loud and clear.
I’m optimistic that Donald Trump will surround himself with professionals who are experts in their fields and can help him be successful.
I am also happy to report that we have secured a veto-proof majority in the Pennsylvania State Senate.
Republicans picked up three more Pennsylvania State Senate seats, giving us the ability to override the Governor’s veto pen.
In a huge upset in Erie, Dan Laughlin was able to claim victory in the 49th Senatorial District.
My long-time friend John DiSanto was able to unseat the Democratic incumbent in Harrisburg winning the 15th Senatorial District.
Wayne Langerholc was able to claim victory in the 35th Senatorial District which covers Bedford, Cambria and Clearfield counties.
Finally, Senator Tom Killion was re-elected to serve a full four-year term in the 9th Senatorial District representing the Philadelphia suburbs.
We were unsuccessful securing the 19th Senatorial District which covers Chester County but we had a superior candidate, Jack London, who as of this past Sunday knocked on over 21,000 doors in the District.
As the Cycle Chairman for the Senate Republican Campaign Committee (SRCC), I am extremely proud of our candidates who were on the ballot this year and I look forward to working with our newest Senators to Make Pennsylvania Great Again.
A special thank you to our volunteers across the Commonwealth. You are the unsung heroes of elections. Without you, we wouldn’t be celebrating these victories today.
Sen. Wagner represents the 28th District in the Pennsylvania Senate.
