Expand all | Collapse all

Brian grew up and went to school in Bellefonte Area School District about 20 minutes out of State College. In his time there, he was active in extracurricular volunteer work such as helping at food banks and gathering school supplies for students in need. When Brian graduated high school in 2018, he says he chose to come to IUP to further his education because of the beautiful campus and the amazing community. He is now in his senior year at IUP and working towards a B.A. in history. While here, Brian has furthered his volunteer work through clothing drives and cleanup projects while being involved with IUP’s College Democrats, and the Indiana County Young Dems. He became interested in politics because he saw it as an avenue to continue helping people. Brian's family lost their health insurance shortly before the pandemic due to job loss. Times like that are when Brian believes we need to see our government step up and help its people, not just for his family but all families. Opportunities to help working families like this are why Brian Doyle chose to run for State Representative.
  • Brian will get dirty money out of our politics by flushing out the corrupt lobbyists and corporations from Harrisburg. This campaign is dedicated to taking no donations from corporations because we are interested in working for people and not big business. To further invest in the community, Brian is committed to only taking the average salary within Indiana County and donating the rest of his salary as representative to local charities.
  • It is long past due for the state government to join the modern age and legalize recreational marijuana. Doing this would allow the state to regulate the market, ensure safe consumption, and support locally owned dispensaries. In 2016, it was estimated that $600 million in tax revenue could be raised from recreational marijuana. This revenue can be reinvested in our communities.
  • Brian is committed to guaranteeing healthcare to all of Pennsylvania’s residents. To do this we need to build off of Medicare and Medicaid to create a statewide health insurance program that will have zero co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses. We also need to reverse the steep increase in prescription drug prices by placing strict price controls. It’s time to end the theft of the health insurance industry and Big Pharma and it’s time to join the rest of the developed world in providing healthcare to our residents. Since the federal government won’t create a program, it's time for Pennsylvania to show the rest of the country how it’s done.
Brian Doyle is passionate about ensuring that all Pennsylvanians and residents of Indiana county are able to live with respect and decency. He believes this is through labor policy, and ensuring people's civil liberties. Brian will defend the union way of life, fight for a living wage in PA, and work towards more employees getting access to benefits. While in the legislature, he will work towards upholding people's right to bodily autonomy and to love and marry whomever they want because the government has no business saying otherwise.
