A former lobbyist, Valerie Gaydos showed her true colors by siding with big tech corporations to pass electricity costs to our neighbors. She voted to allow data centers to use energy from the public grid, then accepted a payout from predatory utility companies the same day.
The truth couldn’t be clearer: Valerie Gaydos is owned by big tech corporations who are profiting off our communities, and she doesn’t care if your electricity bill goes sky-high.
02 · Taxes
Standing Against Tax Cuts and Rebates for Families
BillHB 1272
To cut taxes and ease the financial burdens of working Pennsylvania families.
NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 122–81 on June 12, 2023. Official roll call
BillHB 505
To save customers money on their electric bills.
NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 102–101 on December 17, 2025; every no vote was cast by a Republican. Official roll call
Valerie Gaydos says she’ll lower our taxes and electric bills, but when House Democrats gave her an opportunity, she voted NO. As out-of-control prices squeeze working families, Valerie refuses to make life cheaper. Instead, she hangs her constituents out to dry and passes the blame.
03 · Workers & Wages
Opposing Workers’ Rights and Raising the Minimum Wage
BillHB 1358
To increase protections for hotel workers against sexual assault.
NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 109–94 on July 7, 2025. Official roll call

NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 122–76 on February 4, 2026. Official roll call
BillHB 2189

NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 104–95 on March 24, 2026. The four Republicans voting yes were Emrick, Hogan, Mihalek, and Tomlinson; Gaydos was not among them. Official roll call
Valerie Gaydos claims to be "pro-worker," yet she consistently votes against legislation that would make hard-working Pennsylvanians’ lives better. When factory workers in dangerous conditions fought for health and safety protections, Valerie said NO. When hotel staff spoke up for protections from sexual assault, Valerie kicked them to the curb. And when underpaid employees across the commonwealth stood up to raise the minimum wage from $7.25, lower than any state that borders Pennsylvania, Valerie refused.
04 · Kids & Schools
Standing Against Child Safety and Public Education
BillHB 2370
To guarantee basic education funding increases.
NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 107–94 on June 10, 2024. Official roll call

BillHB 2006
To create anti-suicide safeguards for dangerous AI companionship apps.
NOGaydos
Sourced. House floor vote of 104–98 on July 1, 2026, on amendment A04086 during second consideration; the bill was then re-committed to Appropriations. Official roll call
BillHB 1663
To introduce Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program statewide.
NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 116–87 on December 17, 2025. Official roll call
Valerie Gaydos claims to protect our children, but her voting record shows total disregard for them. She voted NO on legislation that would help school districts prevent child abuse, even though over half of all states in the U.S. already have laws like these. She voted against saving school districts millions and guaranteeing basic increases in education funding. She even voted against clearing school meal debt for children and families in need.
When it was time to regulate dangerous AI companionship chatbots, Valerie sided with big tech profits over childhood suicide prevention. And the bill that would’ve provided free books to children statewide through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program? You guessed it: NO.
One thing is clear: Valerie Gaydos has betrayed our children.
05 · Seniors
Voting for Elder Exploitation
BillHB 2064
To strengthen protections against elder exploitation.
NOGaydos
Sourced. Passed the PA House 152–49 on July 2, 2024. Official roll call
HB 2064 · Final passage · July 2, 2024
152 voted yes
49 voted no
Valerie Gaydos
Protecting seniors from financial exploitation passed with support from both parties. Gaydos was one of the 49.
When a bipartisan coalition voted to keep senior citizens safe from financial exploitation, one of the most common forms of elder abuse, Valerie Gaydos said NO. Instead of taking care of those who took care of us, Valerie stood with the financial institutions that would have taken a loss. She had the chance to protect our seniors from scams, but she turned her back on them instead.
