State Sen. Scott Wagner (R) is celebrating a victory. He will now serve a full term representing the 28th district in the Pennsylvania State Senate. Wagner beat out Democratic challenger Linda Small.


Senator Wagner has been through two campaigns on a quest to represent the people of  the district, which covers a large portion of York County. He has been in the Senate seat for seven months, after winning during a special election this spring.

The biggest issues Wagner said he wants to address are the pension crisis and school taxes. Wagner talked about expected gridlock in Harrisburg with the election of Democrat Tom Wolf as governor.

"It's time to sit down at the table and get things done. I will tell you right now I am angry with the Tom Wolf campaign for the lies that they told people, that Corbett has decimated school districts. There's not a school in York County that is decimated. Tom Wolf is going to have to come clean on the lies to the people. He said Corbett cut education by a billion dollars, but that was a stimulus. He is going to have to come clean on the lies or we are going to have a real problem for the next four years," said Wagner.

Wagner said he is optimistic about Republican gains in the House and Senate in Pennsylvania.
