Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We have the best healthcare professionals in the world – but only if you can afford it. That’s a problem. That’s not good enough. No one should delay seeing a doctor because they’re worried about the bill. No family should go bankrupt because someone gets sick. America leads the world in medical innovation, yet too many people still struggle to afford the care they need. Every American deserves the security of knowing they’ll receive quality care when they need it. Millions of Americans rely on Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to keep their health insurance within reach. I’ll fight to permanently restore and expand those tax credits so families don’t wake up to hundreds of dollars in higher monthly premiums simply because Congress failed to act. I believe we need to lower the age that Americans can buy into Medicare from 65 to 55. Unlike Brian Fitzpatrick, who voted against lowering the cost of prescription medications for seniors, I’ll expand Medicare’s authority to negotiate prescription drug prices, cap insulin costs, and take on pharmaceutical companies that put profits ahead of patients.

Working families shouldn’t pay a higher effective tax rate than multinational corporations. We need a tax system that is built on fairness. I’ll fight for a middle class tax cut while ensuring large corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share so middle class Americans get a much needed tax cut.

Washington should answer to voters, not corporations. The Citizens United decision flooded our elections with unlimited special interest money, giving billionaires and corporate PACs more influence than working families. I have pledged not to take a dime of corporate PAC money. Brian Fitzpatrick has taken $4.5 million from corporate PACs. That money is not free. In Congress I’ll fight to overturn Citizens United and permanently ban corporate PAC contributions because the voice of Americans shouldn’t be drowned out by a corporate check.

Families shouldn’t pay more at the checkout line because of Washington’s bad trade policies. I will fight to roll back Trump’s tariffs that unnecessarily increase the cost of food and household essentials for American consumers while supporting smart trade policies that strengthen American manufacturing and agriculture. For too long, the minimum wage in this country has remained stagnant. I believe we need to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.

Members of Congress should never be in a position to profit from insider information unavailable to the public or from votes they cast. Public service should never become a pathway to personal enrichment. I’ll support a complete ban on congressional stock trading because Americans deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not their investment portfolios. I also believe that individual stock trading should be banned for federal judges, members of the Executive Branch, anyone who needs Senate confirmation for their job and members of their immediate family.

The American people deserve the truth. If there are individuals who committed crimes or abused their positions of power, they should be held fully accountable regardless of their wealth, political party, or status. Everyone is equal under the law, there is no more core American value. Brian Fitzpatrick has voted to block the release of the Epstein Files and continues to do nothing about releasing them. It is because he has become another product of Washington who has simply lost touch.Restoring trust in our institutions begins with transparency and ensuring that justice applies equally to everyone. Congressman Fitzpatrick has tragically failed here, I will not.

Serving in Congress should be the highest form of public service, not a stepping stone to a lucrative lobbying career. Too often, lawmakers spend years building relationships that later become million-dollar lobbying contracts. We need a lifetime ban on former Members of Congress lobbying the federal government to break the revolving door between elected office and special interests.

America benefits from experience, but public office should never become a lifetime entitlement. I support establishing an age limit of 80 for Members of Congress because healthy democracies depend on new ideas, fresh leadership, and regular opportunities for the next generation to serve. No one should hold public office indefinitely.

Politicians shouldn’t get to pick their voters, voters should pick their politicians. Partisan gerrymandering has made our politics more extreme by creating safe districts where politicians fear primary opponents more than the people they represent. I support independent redistricting commissions that create fair maps and more competitive elections.

New technology should help consumers—not exploit them. Increasingly, corporations are using artificial intelligence and personal data to adjust prices and maximize profits. We must hold corporations who are taking advantage of working class Americans accountable. I will ban AI-driven surveillance pricing on essential goods like groceries and strengthen federal enforcement against corporate price gouging so families know they’re paying a fair price.

People in our community are increasingly concerned about data center overdevelopment, and Brian Fitzpatrick is doing nothing about it. In fact, he’s made it worse. After taking more than $4.5 million in corporate PAC donations, Fitzpatrick voted for $20 billion in tax breaks for data center companies and to ban state and local communities from regulating data centers for 10 years.
That’s why I’m calling for a moratorium on new data center development in our community. Before we approve another data center, we need to know that energy costs won’t be passed on to ratepayers, how much water and electricity it will consume, and how many long-term local jobs it will actually create.

This isn’t just about protecting our planet, it’s also about lowering energy costs, creating good-paying union jobs, and ensuring America leads the global economy instead of falling behind. As a teacher and Bucks County Commissioner, I’ve seen that smart investments in modern infrastructure strengthen our communities and leave the next generation better off. That’s why I’ll fight to expand clean energy, modernize our electric grid, and build resilient roads, bridges, and public transit systems that keep our economy moving. In addition, we need to rapidly build homes for our younger generation to start their lives and build for our older generations who want to retire comfortably. Brian Fitzpatrick voted for Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which slashed clean energy incentives, including critical solar tax credits that were helping families lower their utility bills, businesses invest in American-made energy, and workers secure thousands of good-paying jobs. We should be investing in America’s future, not turning our backs on one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.
