November 12, 2026 — State Sen. Nick Miller (D-Lehigh/Northampton) was re-elected as the chair of the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Policy Committee, marking a historic milestone as Senate Democrats secure the majority for the first time in 30 years.
“I am honored to have the support and confidence of my colleagues to continue serving in this leadership role during a historic moment for our caucus,” said Senator Nick Miller. “With this opportunity comes an important responsibility: to turn the priorities of Pennsylvanians into meaningful action. As chair, I will continue to work to bring people together, elevate the voices of communities across the commonwealth, and develop practical solutions that move Pennsylvania forward.”
The Senate Democratic Policy Committee plays a key role in shaping the caucus’s legislative agenda and identifying solutions to the challenges facing Pennsylvania residents. As majority chair, Miller will lead policy hearings throughout the commonwealth, bringing together residents, community leaders, industry experts, and stakeholders to examine critical issues and help develop legislative solutions.
During the 2025-2026 session, Miller hosted dozens of policy hearings addressing some of the most pressing issues facing Pennsylvania, including challenges confronting agriculture and farming communities, rising electricity costs, increasing expenses for seniors, protections for residential water wells, and the impacts and policy considerations surrounding data centers.
“The best policy ideas often come directly from the people who experience these challenges every day,” Miller said. “I look forward to highlighting these experiences and conversations to communities across Pennsylvania, listening to residents and local leaders, and working with my colleagues to turn what we hear into policies that make a real difference in people’s lives.”
First elected to the Pennsylvania Senate in 2022 at age 27, Miller became the youngest person elected to the chamber in 135 years.
His election as majority Policy Chair represents another milestone in his public service and positions him to help shape the legislative priorities of the Senate Democratic Caucus as it begins a new majority.
