I support tax breaks for the hard-working middle class, not billionaires. I support no tax on tips or overtime and would vote to make that permanent. We need bipartisan problem-solving to pass laws that lower the cost of necessities— including food, gas, housing, utility costs, prescription drugs and more. I will repeal these tariff taxes that are increasing costs and vote to end the war in Iran. And we must address the national deficit, which has reached $41 trillion under Perry’s leadership. I will prioritize cutting wasteful government spending and make sure your taxpayer dollars are not abused.

Limit terms to 12 years. Even if Congress does not act to require term limits, I will limit my own terms and will not serve more than 12 years. We do not need more career politicians. We need fewer.

Age limits for Members of Congress.

Ban members of Congress and their immediate families from trading individual stocks while in office so they cannot profit from insider information. I sold my individual stocks before running for office and will not own or trade individual stocks while in office.

Lifetime ban on members becoming lobbyists after serving in the House: no cashing in on your service.

Cut the perks of first-class flights. Congressmembers’ perks are out of control.

A constitutional amendment to end or significantly curb the President’s pardoning power. President Clinton pardoned a financier who donated to his Presidential library, and President Bush pardoned a former White House staffer. President Biden pardoned his son. Even more dangerous are the pardons issued by President Trump to criminals who have gone on to commit more violent crimes.

Pass a constitutional amendment to reverse the Citizens United decision and stop dark money groups from spending unlimited and untraceable money in campaigns.

Create a truly independent Congressional Ethics Agency with the power to investigate members for wrongdoing, so members of Congress no longer regulate themselves.

Strengthen the Federal Election Commission so it has more power to hold candidates and public officials who break campaign finance laws accountable.

Reconstitute the FBI’s public corruption unit to ensure members of Congress in both parties are thoroughly investigated when they betray public trust, and fully fund the Justice Department’s public integrity unit to prosecute corrupt government officials.

End Prediction Market Corruption.

You should never have to decide between putting food on the table and paying for the medical care you need. I believe we need to ban surprise billing, close the loophole for ambulance trips and improve the dispute arbitration process to better protect patients. It’s unacceptable that people who have health insurance coverage still fall into medical debt due to sky-high medical costs, that’s why I believe medical debt should be taken off credit reports.

Congressman Perry wrote on his own website that he wants to cut Social Security benefits, raise taxes, and even raise the retirement age to 69. And unlike nearly every other Republican and Democratic Member of Congress from Pennsylvania, Perry voted to deny nurses, teachers and firefighters their full Social Security benefits. You earned your Social Security, and I will always fight to protect it. I will never cut the Social Security benefits that seniors have earned.

I believe that local communities and their leadership should have the right to approve or reject a data center project without getting sued by big corporations. Data centers should not simply be dropped into the middle of our neighborhoods, driving up utility prices, polluting water, creating noise pollution and lowering property values for hardworking families. If communities do not want them, they should not be built.

Rural communities make up a large portion of Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District and our hundreds of family-owned farms play a central role in agricultural production and food processing. In Congress, I will make fighting for a new, 5-year Farm Bill a top priority – one that lowers input costs, provides certainty to farmers, and helps get more young people into farming careers. Central Pennsylvania is a leading producer of poultry and dairy, but because of the failure of both Democrats and Republicans to pass an updated Farm Bill, our farmers have been left without clarity on regulatory and agricultural policy changes. Four companies control over half of all chicken processing, raking in record profits for themselves while they squeeze family farmers out of business. In Congress I would support legislative efforts to break up consolidation in the marketplace. Avian flu outbreaks have hit Pennsylvania poultry farmers hard, forcing flock losses, disrupting supply chains, and putting family operations under severe financial strain through no fault of their own. I support efforts to mitigate the impact of the avian flu outbreaks through stronger disease-prevention support and investments to protect farmers.

Innovation is how we build the industries and jobs of the future right here in Pennsylvania — like advanced manufacturing. I will fight to protect and grow the investments that make that possible, like the CHIPS and Science Act and stronger research funding, so American breakthroughs happen here at home. China is racing to overtake us in the critical technologies that will define this century, and we cannot afford to fall behind.

In Congress, I will vote to ensure that those who serve our country in the Armed Forces receive the benefits they have earned. Congressman Perry voted against the largest expansion of veterans’ benefits and health care in VA history. Every member of Congress from Pennsylvania EXCEPT Scott Perry voted to help house homeless veterans. In Congress, I will vote to expand access to health benefits, continuing education and job-training to equip veterans for continued success back home in our communities.

I have always supported a stronger border and have never supported open borders. I have been critical of members of my own party who advocated for open borders. I oppose open borders because it is unacceptable to allow criminals and life-stealing drugs across the border. I support deporting every violent illegal immigrant and oppose taxpayer benefits for anyone in the country illegally.

Women should make their own health care decisions with recommendations from their doctors. But Congressman Scott Perry thinks politicians should be able to tell you when, where and how to start a family. It’s why for years he has sponsored a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the woman. He even supports a law that would ban IVF. In Congress, I will fight to ensure the protections guaranteed under Roe are once again the law of the land.

Supporting our families also means fixing the child care, elder care and paid leave crisis that’s putting families in impossible positions. Too many parents cannot find or afford child care. Too many adult children are struggling to care for aging parents while holding down a job. And too many workers still do not have access to paid leave when they need to care for a new baby or a sick loved one. Families should not have to choose between a paycheck and taking care of the people they love.
