| PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY
Like countless Americans, I've watched the events of the past few years in horror. I don't think people fully understand it: We're losing voting rights. That means we lose our democracy.
As a State Representative, I've spent my career trying to fight against efforts to interfere with ballot access. That means:
- Election & Voter Protection: I fully support the proposal by Attorney General Josh Shapiro. This means enhancing vote by mail and drop boxes and fighting against efforts to enact an overburdensome voter ID. It means expanding legitimate, forward-oriented election audits – and not relitigating the 2020 election. I fully support expanding early voting, same-day voter registration, and automatic voter registration. I also want to allow counties to pre-canvass election results, thus enhancing the credibility of our elections.
- Non-partisan redistricting: As State Representative, I have cosponsored and voted for an independent, non-partisan redistricting commission that creates new districts based on creating compact and similar communities, not election wins for political parties.
- Early Voting: This first piece of legislation I introduced would legalize Early Voting in Pennsylvania. I believe that it is absolutely vital that we make it easier, not harder, for people to vote in the Commonwealth.
- Campaign finance reform: Currently, Pennsylvania has an unlimited cap on donations to state and local candidates. I believe this is unacceptable and would favor legislation that tied Individual and PAC donations to the federal limits.
