Jacobson for State House
The Daily ItemOctober 28, 2024 I have known Nick Jacobson most of his life, and I know he is an intelligent, compassionate, hardworking leader. He could take his Yale education and make millions of dollars in the private sector but has chosen fewer financial rewards of public service. He is thus a good man with […]
Senator Casey fights for disabled persons
The Standard-JournalOctober 24, 2024 I strongly support Senator Bob Casey and encourage my fellow Pennsylvanians to vote for him in the upcoming election. Senator Casey has consistently worked to ensure that individuals with disabilities are treated with dignity and respect, particularly regarding fair compensation for their work. The Department of Labor estimates that 100,000 people […]
We Deserve Better Representation
The Daily ItemOctober 22, 2024 Nick Jacobson is running for House District 85. He has my vote because he prioritizes solutions, new investments, and better systems to support small businesses, farmers, and workers in our area. Pennsylvania has one of the most regressive tax systems in the country. Lower income people here pay nearly 2.5 […]
Supporting Insurance Industry
The Daily ItemOctober 18, 2024 The Pennsylvania House recently approved three bills that would enshrine some of the most important protections of the Affordable Care Act into state law in the event that the ACA is destroyed by a future administration. These three bills would prohibit insurers from denying coverage due to preexisting conditions, it […]
Casey Best Choice for Senate
The Daily ItemOctober 2, 2024 Should Pennsylvanians elect a hedge fund CEO from Connecticut to represent us in the U.S. Senate? I don’t think so. Until recently, Senate candidate David McCormick lived in Connecticut. He owns homes in Texas and Colorado and bought a home in Pittsburgh in 2022 — not coincidentally, just before he […]
Vote for Progress
The Daily ItemOctober 5, 2024 “This is the most important election of our lifetime.” I was so sick of hearing that election after election. It is hard to imagine that we could all find ourselves wondering if there will be a peaceful transition of power in our nation. Many Pennsylvanians will fail to cast their […]
Vote Accordingly
The Daily ItemOctober 9, 2024 I was especially impressed to read about Nick Jacobson’s nomination for state representative in our 85th District. How often is it that we could have a local representative with a Yale education in ethics, politics, and economics? How often is it that we could have a local representative with compassion […]
Casey’s Farm Bill
The Daily ItemOctober 15, 2024 Agriculture is the backbone of our commonwealth’s economy, supporting our rural communities’ culture and family farms. According to Pa.gov, the agricultural industry supports 593,000 jobs and contributes $132.5 billion to Pennsylvania’s economy every year. Sen. Bob Casey is committed to supporting small farmers. He supports a farm bill that will […]
Senator Casey and Our Health
The Standard-JournalSeptember 24, 2024 On November 5th, Pennsylvania voters will elect a US Senator to represent our interests in Washington for the next six years. Our choice: incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey, Jr. or Republican challenger David McCormick (who lost in the 2022 primary election). Your decision and your vote could have a major impact […]
Legislature Fails to Act
The Daily ItemSeptember 14, 2024 At 7 p.m. on March 29, 2024, my friends and I clung to each other and texted our parents “I love you” as we sat and waited from the confines of my freshman-year dorm room. Though Smith Hall isn’t Bucknell University’s most glamorous dormitory building, I was grateful that we […]
