PA State Senate 25
Pennsylvania's twenty-fifth state senate district is represented by Republican Senator Joe Scarnati.
As of the 2010 census, a total of 233,497 civilians reside within Pennsylvania's twenty-fifth state senate district. Pennsylvania state senators represent an average of 254,048 residents. After the 2000 Census, each member represented 245,621 residents.
