SPOTLIGHT RACE: Eileen Hartnett Albillar for PA-SD06
Having grown up in Warminster, Eileen has used her Master’s of Social Work to give 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. She’s advocated for homeless youth, administered millions in state and federal funding for housing, and helped families lower their utility costs. Eileen spent more than a decade at the Bucks County Opportunity Council, the leading anti-poverty nonprofit in the county, to help Bucks County families achieve self-sufficiency.
Since winning a county-wide election in 2023, Eileen serves as Clerk of Courts, where she collects and returns money to victims of crime. From 2018- 2023, she served on the Warrington Township Board of Supervisors, where she helped preserve thousands of acres of open space and built a new Police Station.
Eileen is running for State Senate because Harrisburg isn’t listening to Bucks County. Our current Senator has not done enough to fix SEPTA’s funding, stop the rising cost of living, or help families struggling to make ends meet.
Eileen has spent her career listening to people, solving problems, and navigating complex and broken systems. She’ll go to Harrisburg and fight to lower our costs, grow our local economy so we have good paying jobs that can support a family, and fully fund our public schools.
Eileen has two school-age children, and is a Board member of NOVA, the crime victim assistance organization for Bucks County. She was a founding board member of Emerge Pennsylvania, which supports women running for office.
