Priorities for Pennsylvania
Seven values guiding the work
2
School Choice
- Parental rights — children belong to parents, not the government
- All school options should be available. One size does not fit all.
- Thriving public school system
- Fair funding that prioritizes students rather than systems
- Age-appropriate curriculum and child-friendly libraries
3
Small Business & Nonprofits
- The economic engine of our state
- Our job creators
- Focus on rolling back burdensome regulations
- Business-friendly policies, especially tax policy
- Small business keeps large business in check
4
Agriculture
- The largest industry in Pennsylvania
- Our food supply — we do not want to rely on other nations for our food
- Food safety and food security
- Shorten and simplify the long permitting process
- Stop the environmental attacks — agriculture is the solution to many environmental concerns
5
Financial Responsibility
- Balanced budgets
- Rein in state agency spending
- Stop state agency fundraising through fines
- Do not spend more than we generate
- Stop handing out unfunded mandates
6
Statewide Deregulation
- Treat regulations as such, and not as law
- Limit regulatory sludge — unnecessary, complex paperwork and administrative burdens
- With every new regulation added by a state agency, take away two
- Pass the REINS Act — every new regulation that spends more than one million taxpayer dollars must be vetted through the legislative process
- Add an ombudsman within each state agency and a Red Tape Hotline to challenge and keep regulations in check
7
The Constitution
- Honor the people's inalienable rights
- Respect the Amendments
- Hold property rights in high regard
- Public safety — support those who protect us, our first responders
- Maintaining the three branches of government
Meet Your Representative
Dave Zimmerman
Elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2014, Dave is a fiscal conservative dedicated to serving his community. Born and raised on a dairy farm here in the 99th District, he was instilled with the traditional Lancaster County values of hard work, thrift and community service — values he considers the bedrock of his public service, alongside his family and his faith.
Before Harrisburg, Dave built a long career in agri-business with Genex Cooperative Inc., serving as technician, area supervisor, and in district sales and service management — managing more than 100 technicians across seven states. His public service includes the Lancaster County Transportation Committee, the Lancaster County Planning Commission, and the Lancaster County Agricultural Preservation Board. Locally, he chaired the East Earl Township Board of Supervisors and served as the township's roadmaster and stormwater specialist.
In the House, he serves as Republican chairman of the House Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, where his deregulation agenda has earned him a reputation as one of Pennsylvania's leading champions of rolling back red tape and unfunded mandates. Dave lives in East Earl Township with his wife, Ruth Ann. They have three children and eight grandchildren.

Fun facts about the district
The Antiques Capital of the USA
Adamstown, at the district's eastern edge, calls itself the Antiques Capital of the USA. On a summer Sunday, thousands of dealers and collectors fill Route 272 markets and nearby Shupp's Grove.
Place names you won't forget
Blue Ball, Goodville, Bowmansville, Terre Hill, Reinholds, Narvon, Churchtown. Many were named for the tavern signs that once marked the old turnpike stops.
Farming is the local economy
Lancaster County is one of the most productive non-irrigated farming counties in the nation, and dairy, poultry, and produce operations in the 99th are a big reason why.
Two counties, one community
The district straddles the Lancaster-Berks line, stitching together rolling farmland with the suburbs just south and west of Reading.
Raised on a dairy farm here
Rep. Zimmerman was born and raised on a dairy farm inside the 99th District and later served on the Lancaster County Agricultural Preservation Board.
