Campaign themes
2014
Rzucidlo's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Public Education
- Excerpt: "If elected, I will work with educators, community leaders, and fellow legislators to develop effective solutions to the education challenges facing Pennsylvania. I will work to ensure accountability at every level of education; working with advocates, parents, teachers, professionals and the Auditor General’s audits to insure that all children receive a quality public education and that taxpayer dollars are not wasted."
Keystone Exams Mandate Fail Our Students
- Excerpt: "I oppose the effort to make the Keystone exams the deciding factor in a student’s graduation from High School. One test cannot accurately evaluate an individual students abilities or efforts throughout their K-12 education."
All Budgets Reflect Values, True Fiscal Responsibility
- Excerpt: "We need to end the corporate tax loopholes that allow 71% of all corporations to avoid paying any taxes at all. With strategic tax reform, businesses that are paying taxes now will pay less and businesses that are getting a free ride will pay their fair share."
Women’s Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Susan will work with other representatives to pass legislation that addresses the need for access to healthcare options, increased health education, access to birth control, and support for adoption. Susan believes that together, we can find common ground and work to improve healthcare for women in Pennsylvania."
Environment
- Excerpt: "Natural gas drillers that are profiting from Pennsylvania’s natural resources should fairly compensate our state and be responsible for any environmental damage they cause. It was irresponsible not to collect a severance fee (tax on natural gas that is taken out of Pennsylvania)."
