QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe abortion should be allowed in the cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is in jeopardy by the pregnancy. I do not support a comprehensive "ban." As far as the rest of the debate, as to how many weeks an abortion can be had at, that is up to the will of the people I serve in the 140th District. The Dobbs decision handed this issue back to the state to decide, and I firmly believe that it is up to the people of Pennsylvania to decide what is right for abortion laws in PA
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
If we truly say we want to keep abortion "Safe, Legal, and Rare" then we will support the proper regulations and healthcare standards to keep a woman safe. This is common sense.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
If faith-based pregnancy and family planning services are not funded by the state, then neither should Planned Parenthood be. Planned parenthood executives are among the highest-earning in "nonprofit" sector. PP's average pay for a CEO is $317,000. That sounds like someone is profiting off of another's disadvantage to me.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Neutral
I would uphold what the people of my district decide what should be legalized in this matter. I do think we need to be very careful and informed in what we legalize today, because of what that same law could potentially be used to promote in the future.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
In an economy racked with inflation there is understandable need for wage increases, but they must be reasonable and sustainable. These increases can put businesses under pressure to cut hours, offer less full-time positions and less benefits.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
Our economy has suffered greatly at a time where we have seen many companies embrace social activism and cave to pressure from ecological groups. I do believe in honoring all people and our natural environment. There is also a time for common sense. At a time where many Americans are hurting financially, we need to invest in our money into job creation
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Did not answer
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Did not answer
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
