DLCC Board Member
Vincent Hughes
Senator, Pennsylvania
Senator Vincent Hughes has nearly four decades of experience in the Pennsylvania legislature as a leading voice on local, state, and national issues. He has championed access to quality education and expanded college affordability, ensuring that the next generation of Pennsylvanians is set up for success. A fighter for progressive values in the legislature, he has led the charge to pass Pennsylvania’s constitutional amendment banning race discrimination, a historic victory for civil rights in the commonwealth. Senator Hughes serves as the Democratic Senate Appropriations Chairman – a crucial role as Washington, DC Republicans force state legislators to find solutions for their communities amid unprecedented cuts to health care, food benefits, and programs they rely on.Â
Senator Hughes was first elected to the DLCC Board in 2018.

Reminder: As state Republicans work to help Trump enforce his reckless agenda, state Dems are on the frontlines of the fight against their extremism, and are working every single day to find ways to improve the lives of Americans. @SenatorHughes pic.twitter.com/yPzcFNPbpm
