Issue Position: Infrastructure

Issue Position

The state of PA's infrastructure is in need of vast improvements. Pennsylvania scores very poorly in many infrastructure categories, including transportation and water infrastructure. I support legislation that commits to investing in large infrastructure projects to improve our roads, bridges, railways, airports, and water systems.

Many of my constituents commute to Philadelphia daily. They rely on our public transportation system and highways. Right now these systems need major upgrades. My constituents are forced to sit on over-crowded trains, and on Interstate 76, Highway 202 and Highway 422 in heavy traffic during their commutes. I believe infrastructure must be improved to relieve the issues that affect my constituents every single day.

Creating high quality infrastructure, and improving our current failing infrastructure is extremely important and something I place high value on. Creating, improving and maintaining our infrastructure is important because it creates good middle class jobs, as well as protects the individuals who rely on our infrastructure to get to and from work. I had to start my own small business because it was so difficult for me to commute to Philadelphia and pick up my son at a reasonable time. I believe Pennsylvania should be leading the way in quality infrastructure. Therefore, I will support legislation that focuses on projects that improve our current infrastructure and build new high-quality infrastructure.
