Policy Positions
Criminal Justice(1)
Supports continued state investments in afterschool programs, community organizations addressing gun violence, and support for victims of crime.
""This budget builds on real progress by staying focused on the people we serve," said Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis. "I've had the privilege of meeting Pennsylvanians who are making their communities safer, teaching our youngest learners, and fighting for victims' voices to be heard. This budget has their back — investing in afterschool programs, community organizations addressing gun violence, early childhood education and child care, and support for victims of crime.""
Economy(2)
Supports increasing housing supply through a $1 billion Critical Infrastructure Fund to lower housing costs for Pennsylvania families.
""That's because the housing market is out of whack, with too few homes that are available and affordable for young families like ours. We need to increase supply and build more homes, which is why the Shapiro-Davis Administration wants to create a new Critical Infrastructure Fund that would encourage the development of more housing and other infrastructure needs. It's part of our Housing Action Plan, the Commonwealth's first-ever strategic plan for housing.""
Supports housing investments that create union jobs for skilled workers.
