Chris Thomas

Chris Thomas is a volunteer firefighter and former school teacher from Perkiomenville running to flip a seat in the Pennsylvania Senate this fall. Chris comes from a family of veterans, coal miners, educators, and corrections officers who believe in the dignity of hard work and service. Chris believes leadership means showing up when people need you most, not just when it’s convenient, and he’s committed to fighting for working families across Pennsylvania.

State Senate elections in District 24 have recently been decided by as little as 4% of the vote. Now, candidates like Chris are ready to capitalize on 2026 as a historic opportunity to expand Democratic power in the Pennsylvania Senate by flipping highly competitive seats.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in Pennsylvania by defending our House majority and picking up Senate seats in this key battleground state. After several cycles of hard-fought gains, DLCC is committed to winning and defending Democratic power in Pennsylvania.

Our work this year begins with defending and expanding our majority in the Pennsylvania House, which the DLCC and state Democrats flipped in 2022 and have defended ever since..

We’re also working to gain ground in the Senate, where half of the seats are on the ballot this year. With the legislature under split control, the Pennsylvania Senate GOP majority has rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda and blocked Democrats from advancing solutions for working families at every opportunity.
