<h2>Pottsville Native Rachel Wallace Launches Campaign for Congress in PA-9, Vowing to Lower Costs and Tackle Health Care</h2>POTTSVILLE, PA—Today Rachel Wallace, a veteran public servant who was born and raised in Pottsville, officially announced her campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania’s 9th Congressional District, challenging incumbent Dan Meuser. Wallace’s campaign will focus on lowering the cost of living, protecting access to affordable health care, and bringing people in the community together.&nbsp;“People are so frustrated with Congress and the state of politics today, and I have seen that up close and in person,” Wallace said. “This is my home, and I want to fight for my neighbors by putting the focus back on our local communities and the problems we face, from the high cost of groceries to our broken health care system. Dan Meuser has looked out for himself in Congress, and it’s past time we had someone looking out for us.”

So she knows how the federal government works – and how it doesn’t.</h3>Rachel moved home after her mom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease so she could be closer to her family, which has lived in Berks and Schuylkill counties for 10 generations, working as coal miners and farmers, union workers and small business owners, nurses and church leaders. The daughter of a pastor and a nurse, Rachel lives in southern Schuylkill County with her husband and their dog.&nbsp; Rachel is focused on fixing our health care, lowering the cost of living, and keeping our promises to veterans and farmers. Her campaign will hold Dan Meuser accountable for his votes to take away health care from tens of thousands of district residents while doubling his own wealth since taking office. <img src="https://run.imgix.net/459702f5-c956-4211-b830-8e678303d32e/d6652a6d-ac8f-411e-8788-cb1dadb747ba/d6652a6d-ac8f-411e-8788-cb1dadb747ba.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C5335%2C3561&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="35" variant="framed">

She volunteered at York Terrace every week, playing hymns on the piano and singing with residents. Her homemade strawberry jelly was renowned and won prizes at the county fair. She was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies, and loved walking her dogs in Baber Cemetery every day.The family would prefer remembrances in the form of contributions in memory of Karen to the First United Methodist Church in Pottsville or the Pottsville Area High School Marching Band - Pottsville Crimson Aides Band Boosters, 16th and Elk Avenues, Pottsville, PA, 17901.

<h5>Congressional stock trading ban</h5>Our Congressman’s stock portfolio has outperformed Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. But members of Congress shouldn’t be getting rich off inside information. Rachel supports a ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks, as well as their spouses.&nbsp; <h5>Term limits</h5>Rachel supports term limits in Congress. She supports a 6-term, 12-year limit for members of Congress.&nbsp; <h5>Money in politics</h5>Rachel will vote to overturn Citizens United and stop the unlimited dark money from ruining our politics.&nbsp; <h5>Getting Congress back to work</h5>Rachel supports bipartisan efforts for Congress to do its job as a co-equal branch of government. That means passing federal budgets on time, keeping the government open, and taking the hard votes to authorize any wars that put our troops in harms’ way.&nbsp;

<h5>AI data centers</h5>Decisions on new AI data centers in our part of PA belong in local hands. Rachel supports transparency and local control when it comes to AI data centers being built in Pennsylvania. She will oppose efforts to establish national permitting laws for these centers and support legislation to ensure local union workers are hired for any data centers that local communities OK to be built.&nbsp;<h5>Fire company funding</h5>The cost of equipment for fire fighters has skyrocketed. Rachel will propose legislation to create funding to help volunteer fire companies buy new equipment, similar to an already-existing federal program for local police forces. She will also hold private equity firms that are consolidating this industry accountable. <h5>Unsafe roads</h5>Driving at night, especially in rural Pennsylvania, can be dangerous because of how bright car headlights are. Rachel will work in Congress to ban dangerously bright vehicle headlights to reduce glare and improve road safety for drivers.&nbsp; <h5>Federal investments</h5>Rachel will work to bring our federal taxpayer dollars back home to tackle local infrastructure, including bridges, roads, and water and sewer improvements.&nbsp; <h5>Quality of life</h5>Our part of Pennsylvania has many stories of outside corporations coming in to extract our resources, only to lower our quality of life and leave local communities holding the bag. Rachel will always stand with local communities in holding these corporations accountable and preserving our beautiful way of life in Pennsylvania.
