DiSanto currently serves as Chair of the Senate Banking & Insurance Committee. He also serves as Vice Chair of the Urban Affairs & Housing Committee and serves on the Education, Transportation, and Labor & Industry committees.

DiSanto says he plans to “continue for the next year to fight the expansion of state government and work to stop money-wasting, government-growing ideas from becoming law.”

Democrat State Representative Patty Kim announced her candidacy for the 15th District seat in October. Kim does not plan to simultaneously run for her 103rd District seat, leading to several Democratic candidates throwing their hats in the ring.

The 15th District covers East Shore communities including Harrisburg, Hershey, Middletown, and Steelton.
