"I promised to lead by example on reform and change the culture of Harrisburg that costs taxpayers money.  I have kept that promise and will continue to work for further changes that ensure government is working for you and not the special interests."

-Warren Kampf

Leading by Example to Reform Harrisburg
Warren has fought for real reform to ensure open and transparent government, and save taxpayers money.

  • Saying “No” to Costly Perks
    Just like he promised, Warren has refused a taxpayer-paid car, per diems and the taxpayer-paid defined contribution pension.  He has also refused to accept the automatic legislative salary Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) in both 2011 and 2012.
  • Making Legislators Pay More
    Warren fulfilled his pledge to pay for a portion of his own healthcare and even supported a new initiative that is forcing all state Representative to pay for a portion of their healthcare costs like those in the private sector must do.
  • More Transparent Government
    Warren supported a new law that creates an on-line database of all state spending called PennWATCH that will let taxpayers see exactly where and how their money is spent.
  • Legislate in the Light of Day
    Warren supported new House rules that allow for more time for public review of legislation before it is voted upon, limits the time of day in which votes can take place and more.
