The Spielman Pledge: As your state representative, I will fight for .......
Real Property Tax Reform
The General Assembly "talks big" about property tax reform, yet we still await relief. The time for action is NOW.
Job Retention and Creation
The loss of Fisher Scientific and FMC jobs was a blow to Indiana County. I will work with state leaders to bring new businesses and industry to the area, upgrade our infrastructure, train employees to meet 21st century challenges, and work to prevent local plant relocations and closures.
Health Care for All Pennsylvanians
Currently, 1 out of every 12 Pennsylvanians have no health care coverage. We must create a health care system that provides coverage for everyone.
Downsizing the General Assembly
With 253 legislators, Pennsylvania has the second legislature of any state, with the largest payroll. Our legislators earn salaries and benefits on an average of $159,000. The General Assembly even maintains a $135 million slush fund. Let's trim the fat! I will fight to downsize the General Assembly.
A Healthier Environment
Indiana County has made too much environmental progress to be considered the dumping ground for Pennsylvania, or any state for that matter! We need a legislator who will fight to protect our health, safety and environment by standing up against the companies that seek to pollute our air, land and waterways.
