Eileen Hartnett Albillar

Eileen Hartnett Albillar is a proven problem-solver with more than 25 years of experience across social work, government, and nonprofit leadership, running to flip a seat in the Pennsylvania Senate in November. Eileen has dedicated her career to giving back to her community, spending years helping people get back on their feet, pull themselves out of poverty, and navigate the high cost of living. Eileen is running for the state Senate to lead the fight to lower costs, grow the local economy, and fully fund public schools.

Eileen’s district saw one of the closest legislative elections in the state in 2018, with less than 80 votes deciding the winner. Eileen’s race, in the perennial battleground of Bucks County, PA, would be a key victory, putting Democrats in a much stronger position in the Pennsylvania Senate.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in Pennsylvania by defending our House majority and picking up seats in the Senate.

In 2022, Democrats made gains in the Pennsylvania Senate and flipped the House for the first time in over a decade. The momentum from those wins continued to build through 2025 with a string of special election victories defending a narrow blue majority in the state House, and an astounding upset win in the state Senate that saw Democrats flip a district that supported Trump by a double-digit margin in the 2024 presidential election. 

The DLCC has been on the ground in Pennsylvania cycle after cycle to support state Democrats as we build power in both chambers of the General Assembly.

Pennsylvania remains a true battleground in 2026, and the DLCC and our allies are pulling out all the stops to win competitive races and elect Democrats in the Keystone State.
