Senator Frank Farry was elected to the Senate of Pennsylvania in November 2022 to represent the 6th Senate District in Bucks County.
While serving in the House of Representatives for seven terms, Farry advanced legislation to designate cancer as an occupational disease for firefighters, offering protection to both career and volunteer firefighters who develop cancer as a result of their service. He also championed public safety measures to require carbon monoxide alarms in multi-family dwellings.
Farry was instrumental in advancing legislation now known as the Motor Vehicle Extreme Heat Protection Act, providing protections for animals left in unattended vehicles. He has also authored legislation establishing the Safe2Say Something program, which provides methods of anonymous reporting concerning unsafe or potentially harmful, dangerous, violent, or criminal activities in schools or to individuals. Additionally, he played a major role in expanding the income eligibility limits for the PACENET prescription drug assistance program for seniors,
Farry’s advocacy efforts have led to recognitions from veterans’ and armed forces groups, the disability community, animal welfare groups and addiction and recovery advocates.

In his role as assistant township manager and director of community services, Farry served in various capacities including acting township manager, public information officer and emergency management team member.
