Jeff on the Issues
I learned the value of hard work at the age of 10, starting a paper route that helped pay for my first car and first year of college. As the Vice President of Northampton County Council, I have been dedicated to preserving open space and farmland in Northampton County. Now, I’m running for State Representative in District 137 to keep getting results for hardworking folks. As State Representative, my priorities are to:
Lower the Cost of Living: We must hold price gouging corporations accountable, from the cost of essentials from groceries to housing to health care.
Fairly Fund Our Local Schools: We must give our kids better opportunities and lower the property tax burden on homeowners.
Even the Playing Field: We must ensure big corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
Housing Attainability: We must implement new policies that will make housing more attainable for all members of our community.
Fighting for Working Families and Unions: We must fight for the rights of unions and their families by standing against right-to-work legislation and strengthening the rights to collectively bargain.
Access to Affordable and Quality Healthcare: We must work to ensure that all Pennsylvanians have a right to affordable and quality healthcare regardless of race, class, or geographic location.
Boost Funding for Public Safety & First Responders: We must ensure our police, fire departments, and EMS have the tools they need.
Increase Mental Health Funding: We must provide enhanced mental health resources for schools and members of our community.
Preserving Open Space and Farmland: We must continue working with our local communities to ensure we preserve as much farmland and open space as possible into the future.
