What do you see as the most pressing issues facing Pennsylvanians, and how would you address them?
Real estate taxes and the cost of staying in one’s home. Freeze taxes after a certain age, give tax credits for home improvements. Give more incentives to builders who have attainable housing.
What changes would you support making to Pennsylvania’s voting laws to expand access, ensure security, and support local election officials and processes?
Voters who choose to use mail in ballots should have their votes counted on election night. Pa should allow counties to pre-canvass ballots prior to Election Day… preparing them for tabulation.
What legislation would you support to comply with the Commonwealth Court's ruling that Pennsylvania’s school funding system is unconstitutional and must be reformed?
I would support all the recommendations from the courts to fairly fund each school which would allow all children access to a good education.
What changes, if any, would you support making to Pennsylvania’s abortion laws?
I would codify it in the constitution so that it could never be reversed.
