Woman’s Choice/Healthcare is by far one of the most serious issues in the last 50 years. In Pennsylvania we need to codify women’s rights as well as the rights of the LGBTQ community into the state constitution. I also have serious concerns about the way our seniors are treated and the need to address the issues in a public way. If need be, the AG needs to be more aggressive in protecting seniors from scammers and the shady people who prey on them. With Legislation we can make the penalties tougher.
People right now are getting scared to go to polling places due to the current climate of violence that has been unleashed. Encouraging using the mail in ballot process would help give more confidence to as long as we include legislation to include smart ballot curing and preprocessing of ballots.
The fact is while we have some great schools in our district, Mars and Seneca, it’s time we funded all district fairly and equally. Our students in all areas deserve a quality education. Our parents who pay taxes deserve to know that those taxes are being used in a way to help all students, not just in the wealthy communities.
Again, we need to codify a woman’s right to choose. At this time, we have a Democratic Governor who will use his power for at least the next three years to protect a woman’s right to choose. But that is not a guarantee. Depending on the elections, a veto could be overridden by the State House. We need to elect members like me who will believe and encourage a woman’s right to choose..
