The most pressing issue facing Pennsylvanian's is the massive educational funding gap. As the landmark Fair Funding court case has shown, there is still much more work to be done in providing every Pennsylvanian child with a high-quality education; no one should have their educational opportunity determined by zip code.
We must fully fund Pre-K - 12th public education and give every Pennsylvanian child the tools they need for a happy, successful life. No school in our Commonwealth should have mold, lead, or the lack of resources to remediate these problems. Every Pennsylvanian should have the opportunity for an affordable post-secondary education, whether that is vocational school or college.
Your right to vote is sacred and we must never allow state officials or legislatures to overturn election results because they do not like them. I will fight every effort to repeal mail-in voting, reduce access to drop boxes, or hinder your constitutional right to vote in any way.
Counties will receive the resources that they need to run efficient, free and fair elections including giving clear guidance and support from the Department of State for curing ballots with mismatching signatures or voter information.
We must get big money out of politics once and for all. Pennsylvania must no longer be regarded as the “wild west” of campaign finance and must enact publicly funded campaigns and strict limits on big-dollar donations.
We must fully fund Pennsylvania's public schools.
The legislature should immediately convene a commission to study and propose funding recommendations to close the funding gap.
Pennsylvania's abortion laws should remain the same.
