1. I am particularly passionate about modifying gun laws to make gun ownership safe, as well as responsible for our children and citizens of my district.||2. Accessible and affordable healthcare is one of my major priorities. No one should be faced with the harsh reality of choosing healthcare over a meal for themselves or for their family, we can and must do better. ||3. The opioid crisis has no home in the 169th district.
I look up to my dad Louis LeGrant, he taught me to|always lead by example, my dad was a sergeant in the Army for 21 years and instilled in me to always respect the men and women next to me no matter their gender, race, creed, religion etc. The example I would like to follow is that of Barack Obama, he did a great job of bringing a whole nation together, while working towards a common goal!
1. Integrity|2. The ability to listen more than talk|3. Love for the district |4. The ability to express cooperation with counterparts to accomplish goals |5. Willingness to not back down to those who attempt to damage the district
I have the ability to get along with people from all walks of life and lead by example. I am resilient and make sure that my voice is heard as well as my constituents.
I would like to leave behind a legacy that my kids can be proud of for years to come. The constituents of my district will remember me for always having their best interests in mind and introducing legislation that positively impacted their lives.
9/11/2001 I was 8 years years old and I remember it for a few reasons, one is because it is clearly the day that will live in infamy in the minds and hearts of all US citizens and friends. But also remember it because it was my moms 30th birthday but not a happy one.
My first job was working at Subway. I had it from my sophomore year in High School until my sophomore year in college.
Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. Because it's the first book I ever read from start to finish by myself and it planted the seed for me becoming an avid reader.
I have struggled with family life in my younger years, I was forced to adjust to life with my parents being divorced. The struggles of that situation made weaved the fabric of the man I am today and play a huge role in how I move through life.
The State Senate offers a great Checks and balances system for legislation. The State House is able to to examine more fine details at the local level while the State Senate is able to access legislation on a more broad, regional level.
Yes but also have valuable real life experience. A good balance between the two is essential.
Gun control, education, criminal justice reform, and opioids.
The ideal relationship would be for the governor to examine each bill with a fine tooth comb and make decisions based on content rather than party affiliation.
I believe that it is absolutely critical to build relationships with other legislators in order to get things accomplished. Pulling resources together always assists in operating more efficiently.
Yes. The agricultural committee, the ethics committee as well as the health committee.
Jordan Harris, he is doing a great job in the PA State House
Yes, on the campaign trail I had an opportunity to speak with a local elderly woman who was faced every month with the harsh reality of choosing to buy insulin or choosing to buy groceries. This hurt me but also inspired me to make true change when elected!
