Jim Massey (D)

Having a son who has taught in Pennsylvania for 14 years, I understand the challenges facing Pennsylvania schools first-hand. From overcrowded classrooms to a focus on useless standardized testing, I plan to help move PA in a direction that focuses more on student growth, while allowing schools to not focus on teaching students to take tests, but instead instilling a love of learning and exploration into a generation of young people who will lead our Commonwealth forward.

Our current leaders in Harrisburg have allowed Pennsylvania's roads and bridges to crumble. I will make it a priority to make improvements and to not allow such neglect to continue. With the number of trucks on our roads, it is important to expand and improve our highway systems and bridges. I will also push for funding for projects to improve buildings by making them more energy efficient, to plug the abandoned wells across our state, and to invest in sewer and storm water projects. All of these efforts will create more jobs for Pennsylvania!

I will fight for rural communities, women’s rights to choose, lgbtq+ rights, minority rights, etc.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jim Massey (D)

Infrastructure, Education, Women’s Rights, Minority Rights, LGBTQ + Rights
