Who Will Lower Costs for Limerick Township Families in the 2026 State Senate Race?
What the 2026 Race Means for Your Household Budget
If you live in Limerick Township in Montgomery County, you’re in Pennsylvania’s 24th State Senate District, where the 2026 race pits Democrat Chris Thomas against first-term Republican incumbent Sen. Tracy Pennycuick. For households keeping a close eye on the cost of living, the question is which candidate has a real plan for the bills that keep climbing: electric rates, healthcare, and property taxes.
Where Chris Thomas Stands on Your Rising Costs
Chris Thomas’ platform goes after those costs directly. He says residents’ electric bills should not go up because tech companies want more power, and he wants utility companies to publicly disclose electric capacity and planning so communities get meaningful input. His “No Blank Check for Big Tech” position holds that data centers must meet their own energy needs and corporations should pay their fair share toward schools and infrastructure.
On healthcare, he wants to fix the broken healthcare system so people don’t get buried in medical debt, monthly costs come down, and everyone can get quality care, because no one should have to choose between groceries and prescriptions. And on property taxes, he wants to fix the broken school funding system that drives them up.
Pennycuick, meanwhile, co-sponsored 2025 legislation to make Pennsylvania a premier destination for data centers, and in May 2026 she announced a package of her own that would create a Pennsylvania Data Center Advisory Committee for 10 years; it has not passed.
The Bottom Line for November 3
Chris Thomas is the right choice for SD-24 voters who want the cost of living taken seriously, because he has specific answers on the electric bills, healthcare costs, and property taxes squeezing families across the district. Register to vote by October 19, 2026, and make a plan to vote on November 3.
