Christina Digiulio completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Digiulio's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|I co-founded Upper Residents for Safety, Better Path Coalition, and recently co-founded a regional Watchdog group to help document the harms of the petrochemical, fracking industry. For the last 5+yrs, I have been actively opposed to Energy Transfer, specifically, the Mariner East pipelines or the Pennsylvania Pipeline Project which has harmed the water in my community.
- Pennsylvanians have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania’s public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people. As Governor, I will uphold this amendment. Water is our most precious natural resource, & the water is under attack. Whether it be the failure of our regulators,serial polluters, those who seek to privatize drinking water, or the threats due to climate change … we are “guaranteed” access to pure water, yet that is not what we see on the frontlines of this issue.
- Healthcare is a human right. Access to universal, comprehensive, national single-payer health plan is a priority. I will call on Congress to pass the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021 or equivalent legislation. A woman's right to control her body is nonnegotiable and it is essential that the option of a safe, legal abortion remain available. Do No Harm. We MUST require our healthcare system to prioritize the practice of healing over the practice of “medicine”.
- Anti-Corruption legislation. Anti-Corruption I support a comprehensive gift ban, an end to the per diem, campaign finance reform, an end to outside jobs for our full time legislators, employment limitations to the revolving door between our public service and the private sector, a stronger and enforceable code of ethics in our public sector, and an end to partisan gerrymandering.
Environmental Protection.
Healthcare.
Reproductive Justice.
Protecting the health and safety of the public
service.
duty.
resiliency.
Leaving a healthier planet to future generations.
Hail to the Thief
The governor serves as the chief executive officer of a state. Everyday job duties include oversight of the state executive leaders, policy review, as well as big picture budget management. Executive orders are enacted by a governor when a natural disaster strikes or an issue impacting the safety and security of the state occurs. A governor has the main responsibility of communicating with the President when Federal assistance is needed for a state emergency. Serving as the main spokesperson for the state, the governor provides information to citizens and direction, in the event of a crisis. A main job duty of a governor is to work with the legislature to ensure that the needs of the state are met through oversight hearings, new laws and the establishment of long-term goals and priorities.
Line item veto authority refers to the power of a governor to veto individual components (or lines) of a bill passed by the state legislature. I will use this authority to ensure our budget directs funds to the Just Equitable Transition of off fossil fuels (includes job transition training and compensation), building sustainable local communities, an equitable education system, equitable healthcare cost assistance, a diversified renewable energy system, reparations, police reform, and investment into repairing and maintaining our public water system.
The governor is legally required to submit a balanced budget proposal. While the legislature is not legally required to pass a balanced budget, the governor is legally required to sign a balanced budget. Currently the PA legislature finds it is more important to protect private companies, their donors, and their investments thru subsidizing projects which harm local communities so private companies can profit from Pennsylvanians and our natural resources. I will not compromise the health and safety of Pennsylvanians for false economic promises. Pennsylvanians money will be invested back into the public.

I will not compromise the health and safety of Pennsylvanians for false economic promises. I will veto line items in which Pennsylvanians money is being used for anything beyond investing it equitably back into the public.
If the state legislature cannot agree on a budget the governor must work to get them to pass an equitable budget. If necessary I will use my executive authority to prevent the legislature to hold the budget and PA government hostage.
-A just equitable transition off of fossil fuels
-Passing anti corruption legislation
-Water quality
Air quality
-Clean up of toxic waste from fracking and mining
-Clean up, repairs, and lifetime maintenance of wells from conventional and unconventional drilling, especially Orphaned and abandoned wells from the oil and gas industry. This is legacy contamination.
When the legislature holds life saving legislation hostage.
