Supports reducing Pennsylvania's $5 billion budget deficit through energy-driven revenue growth and elimination of fraud, waste, and abuse.

Education(2)
Supports Lifeline Scholarships, existing scholarship tax credit programs, and opting into the Federal Education Tax Credit scholarship program to give parents control over their children's education.
"Students need opportunity, and parents need to be in control of their children's education by passing Lifeline Scholarships, investing in and expanding the state's existing scholarship programs (Education Improvement Tax Credit and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit), and opting in to the Federal Education Tax Credit scholarship program."
Argues that increased per-student spending has not improved outcomes and favors redirecting funding toward scholarship and choice programs rather than more spending.
"Pennsylvania spends more than $23,000 per student, yet outcomes are declining. 50% of third graders cannot read at grade level, and math proficiency remains low. More spending is not solving the problem."
