I’m running for Congress to take on corruption and make Washington work as hard as we do. To help reform a broken Washington, I will fight for:Government should work as hard as the people it servesA Ban on Congressional Stock Trading. No one should be able to use their public office to enrich themselves.No Corporate PAC Money. As a candidate and member of Congress I will reject the influence of special interests.Audit the Federal Government. I’ve been cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in government for nearly a decade, but we need to do it with a scalpel, not a chainsaw.Fight for families so they can get aheadBreak up the huge monopolies that hurt our small businesses and raise costs. Bring more competition into our communities by ending the Big Box monopolies that drive small businesses out of our area, give consumers fewer options, and let a few large companies control everything.Strengthen unions; make it easier to join and start a union.Respect the power of the people via local control and allocate more federal money directly to municipalities and counties.Champion small business by understanding how federal choices impact their ability to stay alive — without access to a healthcare marketplace, many people cannot work at the small businesses they love.Go after fees that shrink our pocketbooks with a million little cuts, like capping credit card fees.Prevent healthcare industry middlemen from denying care and medications prescribed by doctors.Reform the insurance system so that when people pay for insurance, they can expect to be protected when something happens – from healthcare to flooding.Fight for paid family leave and affordable childcare.NEPA Builds, Build it hereReshore manufacturing jobs, including continuing to add more defense manufacturing in Northeastern Pennsylvania.Cut red tape, make permitting make sense, allow more businesses to start, grow and thrive.
