Civil Rights

I believe that LGBTQ Americans deserve equal rights and protections under the law, just as all Americans do. And I know that we still have a lot of work to do to make that the actual reality for LGBTQ people in Pennsylvania and across the country. Learn more

Education

We need more healthcare and mental healthcare in our schools, and school buildings across much of our commonwealth require new investment. Student loans have too often been an unfair burden for my generation, especially for those in public service. I will address all of these aspects of education reform in detail during this campaign. Learn more

I am also a strong supporter of President Biden's efforts to guarantee universal preschool and two years of community college. These are some of the wisest investments we can make as a country, both for the long-term health and wellbeing of our children and for the professional skill of our workers. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Expanding solar and wind in the electrical grid will help, but they present their own supply-chain issues, and we still don’t have batteries to store solar and wind energy at grid scale for more than a few hours. Learn more

If we want to win this race against China, we need a flexible energy policy. We can’t bet it all on one or two energy sources, and we shouldn’t ignore our own natural resources. Learn more

I was the lead sponsor of a bill that President Biden recently signed into law that will set stronger methane emissions standards for the oil and gas industry, and I will continue to focus on these issues in the Senate. Learn more

Foreign Policy

I believe that we need to be strengthening, not undermining, the U.S.-Israel relationship, and that is what I will continue to do in the Senate. Learn more

I support continuing to meet the commitments we’ve made to provide foreign aid to Israel, including direct military assistance. And I will work to find new opportunities for economic cooperation and partnership with Israel so that we can help each other solve big problems in the 21st century. Learn more

Government Reform

I will always support rights for the minority party. I want real debate. But particularly when it comes to fundamental democratic issues like protecting the right to vote, I won’t let Mitch McConnell use the filibuster to prevent us from doing our job. Learn more

We need comprehensive campaign finance reform to level the playing field so that working people get the same attention from their elected officials as special interests do. We need to pass H.R. 1 first and foremost, and we also need to overturn the Citizens United decision. Learn more

Guns

To completely overhaul and modernize our background check system from top to bottom, we need a system with no loopholes, no flaws, no gaps. Learn more

Universal Background Checks & Closing the Charleston Loop. Learn more

Healthcare

We could cut prescription drug costs for almost every American tomorrow by doing one simple thing — allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies. But the pharmaceutical industry has spent a lot of money lobbying to make sure that doesn’t happen — that Americans continue to pay far more than anyone else in the world for essential, lifesaving medications.

I am currently working with Rep. Debbie Dingell, Senator Casey and others to pass the Better Care Better Jobs Act, which would increase Medicaid funding to states to expand their home and community-based care services for seniors and people with disabilities, improve care and support for patients and their families, and provide better pay and benefits for caregivers. Learn more

I also support lowering the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 60, which would expand coverage to an estimated 23 million Americans, many of whom struggle to find affordable insurance in the years before they reach 65. Learn more

Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security are essential building blocks of our society. These programs are a critical lifeline for many people with disabilities, senior citizens and working families in Pennsylvania and across the country.. Learn more

Social Services

I always work to protect Medicare and Social Security, and I’m also working to expand them. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

I believe unions deserve a place at the center of our public life, just as they had in the past, when they helped build the most thriving middle class in the history of the world. Learn more
