Rising Costs in Bensalem: Where Eileen Hartnett Albillar Stands Ahead of the 2026 Senate Election

If you live in Bensalem, you are in Pennsylvania's State Senate District 6, and your cost of living is on the ballot this year. District 6 covers Bensalem and other central and lower Bucks County communities, and the November 3, 2026 general election will decide who represents it in Harrisburg. Eileen Hartnett Albillar, the Democratic nominee, has built her campaign around lowering costs for everyday families, growing the local economy, and fully funding public schools. She brings countywide experience to the race as Bucks County Clerk of Courts and a former Warrington Township supervisor with a background in social work and nonprofit leadership.

Transit and School Funding Are Budget Issues for Bensalem

Hartnett Albillar's affordability argument starts with what Bensalem households actually pay. She has been direct about the pressure families are under, saying SEPTA's funding is still broken and families are struggling to make ends meet. For Bensalem commuters, a transit system that works is a household budget issue: fares, car costs, and the price of simply getting to work all rise when regional transit is underfunded.

Her school funding position matters for property taxes too. She supports fully funding public schools, and when Harrisburg pays its share for schools, local districts lean less on homeowners to fill the gap. That is the structural approach she is running on: lower the fixed costs that squeeze Bensalem families month after month, rather than leaving every household to absorb them alone.
