Rising Costs Are Squeezing Limerick Families: Where Chris Thomas Stands in the 2026 State Senate Race

The Choice Limerick Voters Face in 2026

If you live in Limerick Township in Montgomery County, you're in Pennsylvania State Senate District 24, where the 2026 general election pits Democrat Chris Thomas against first-term Republican incumbent Sen. Tracy Pennycuick on November 3. The question for many Limerick households is who will actually lower everyday costs, from electric bills to property taxes to healthcare. Thomas, a 29-year-old Perkiomenville resident, has worked construction, taught middle school math and science, and serves as a volunteer firefighter, a background that gives him direct experience with the pressures district families face.

Where Chris Thomas Stands on Lowering Costs

Thomas says residents' electric bills should not go up because tech companies want more power, and he says data centers must meet their own energy needs while corporations pay their fair share toward schools and infrastructure. On schools, he wants to fully and fairly fund public schools and fix the broken school funding system that drives property tax hikes, and he supports universal free school breakfast and lunch. On healthcare, he wants to fix a broken healthcare system so people don't get buried in medical debt and monthly costs come down, because no one should have to choose between groceries and prescriptions.

Pennycuick co-sponsored SB 939 in 2025 to make Pennsylvania a premier destination for data center and AI development. In May 2026 she announced guardrail legislation requiring large data centers to bring their own power; it has not passed.

What Limerick Voters Should Do Before November 3

For Limerick voters who want a state senator focused on lowering electric bills, property taxes, and healthcare costs, Chris Thomas is the right choice in District 24.
