Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Jon Lanzaro-Fisher is a former employee of the Intelligence Community, a Ph.D. student, and a long-term advocate for Northeast Pennsylvania. As a graduate of a local, public high school and additional higher education locally, Jon has had a full picture of the needs of our community now and in the long term.

As a native to the area, Jon returned after pursuing further education and a career in Washington D.C., which gave him exposure to the inefficiencies of the Government and the inability of current leadership to create a comprehensive, long-term strategy that wins for everyday Americans.

Jon is running for United States Congress as a Democrat because he believes our area deserves better. In the long-term, our country should be investing in the next generation of jobs; improving healthcare and human rights within our borders; and should be working to create a more just society for not only us, but for the next generation.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about Energy, Healthcare, and Education policies.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

In the U.S. House, all politics is local. You can go to Washington and represent specific issues that your district is facing and work to implement solutions at a federal level.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

It is not needed.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

I think competition with China and the next race towards green energy as the greatest challenges that we will face over the next decade. As we work to compete with China for the next generation of jobs, growth, and global influence, we need to modernize our government and embrace these changes in order to succeed.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Term limits are needed

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes. There is so much room for compromise, our issue is that we have had the same people in Congress for decades who no longer listen to each other and are unwilling to make progress on issues that matter.
