Get StartedIt is long past due for the state government to join the modern age and legalize recreational marijuana. Doing this would allow the state to regulate the market, ensure safe consumption, and support locally owned dispensaries. In 2016, it was estimated that $600 million in tax revenue could be raised from recreational marijuana. This revenue can be reinvested in our communities. Learn more
As a candidate running in a rural area, Brian understands the importance of protecting our farmers. That is why he is committed to fixing our property tax system to help smaller family run farms stand on their own. Also, Brian will fight for farmers' right to repair their equipment without the restrictions of oppressive warrants by big manufacturing corporations. These policies will allow our local farms to have autonomy over their business and be able to provide for our community. Learn more
As your representative, Brian will make sure our schools get the funding they need and that every student has an opportunity to succeed. This means protecting our public schools by guaranteeing them their rightful funding, keeping tuition prices low so our higher education institutions can keep enrollment numbers high, and supporting technical schools to equip our citizens with the proper tools to join the work force. Modern economies require an educated workforce so the state needs to invest in its education. Learn more

Medicare For All Brian is committed to guaranteeing healthcare to all of Pennsylvania’s residents. To do this we need to build off of Medicare and Medicaid to create a statewide health insurance program that will have zero co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses. We also need to reverse the steep increase in prescription drug prices by placing strict price controls. Learn more
Brian supports massive investment and revitalization of Pennsylvania's infrastructure. PA's climate puts strain on the state's roads and bridges and they need to be maintained regularly. The state's bridges are especially in need of repair and revitalization as many are decades old. Learn more
The current minimum wage of $7.25 is a starvation wage that has not changed since 2009. Brian understandsthat $7.25 an hour is not enough for people to support themselves. He supports raising it to $15 an hour. This raise would come incrementally over several years. A $15 minimum wage would put more power into the hands of our workers and improve the living conditions for a million Pennsylvanians. Learn more
Our campaign plans to create a guaranteed job program for Pennsylvania while ensuring high quality jobs with fair pay and proper benefits. We will fight union busting companies and protect workers' right to organize.
