Position Papers

We need a comprehensive strategy to create jobs, build a strong workforce, help small businesses, and bring together our farms, suburbs, and cities as we move Pennsylvania's economy forward.
Responsible Natural Resource Management: The Marcellus Shale
Joe will keep Pennsylvania's drinking water, environment, and communities safe by fighting for policies which will maximize the benefits to Pennsylvania from our Marcellus Shale resources without compromising the safety and beauty of the commonwealth.
Protecting Our Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
I believe one of the most important roles of government is fighting discrimination of all forms and leveling the playing field so that all members of our society are afforded equal opportunity.
