Bring People Together to Solve Local Problems
AI data centers
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.
Fire company funding
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.
Unsafe roads
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.
Federal investments
Rachel will work to bring our federal taxpayer dollars back home to tackle local infrastructure, including bridges, roads, and water and sewer improvements.
Quality of life
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.
