What changes, if any, would you support to enable better access, ensure security, and support the processes of our elections?
What are your thoughts on the state budget process? What changes, if any, would you support so that the budget is enacted in a timely manner?
Should the state legislature enact laws concerning the impacts on water, energy, or land use from the development and operation of data centers? Would state regulation of data center development and operation interfere with the authority of municipalities to establish ordinances under the MPC (Municipal Planning Code)?

Cost of living. Work to try and have the rising cost of rent and mortgage prices to slow. Focus on local business and attractions to bring in more employment and money from outside the district
I would like open primaries if that had a majority appeal but also encouraging vote by mail to increase voter turnout and possibly having early voting or being able to count mail in votes the day before the election and not start on Election Day
The state budget is large and has many parts so I don’t think there is one single thing we can do to streamline the process but things like working on it sooner or stopping members from leaving the capital/going on extended breaks until it is passed could encourage a faster process
Yes, history shows that when large corporations come in and use natural resources freely is has negatively impacted local areas not only financially but with health issues that are only addressed after years of unregulated action
