My Story

I was born and partially raised in central Pennsylvania. I proudly come from a military family that taught me respect for others, service to your community, and pride in my country. I have had the privilege to live in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. This experience has allowed me to work with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Affordability

Without a sufficient wage, people are unable to afford necessities. That can be changed by raising the minimum wage to a viable level. Financial security can also begin by guaranteed paid family leave, keeping the cost of food down, encouraging alternate energy sources, and having free basic healthcare for every person. Continue reading to see how the other issues tie in with affordability.

The Issues | Wendy Morgan for PA

### What do you see as the most pressing issues facing residents of your district, and how would you address them?
Lack of affordability with food, housing, electricity, and healthcare. In addition, the declining public education system and a need for greater support of local agricultural endeavors. First, the minimum wage must be increased. Affordability in housing can be addressed by incentivizing building low-income housing, rehabilitation of derelict buildings, and allowing mixed zoning. Food affordability can be achieved through strengthening local food systems (e.g.
Farm to School program) and conservation of farmland.

Economy

If you work, you should be able to support your family. We want to encourage job creation through intiatives such as licensing efficiency, business mentorships, increased grants for new businesses, and offering low cost or free land on which to build by using underutilized land owned by the state. In addition, our natural and historical resources should be used in a thoughtful manner in which to increase jobs and tourism.

In addition, our natural and historical resources should be used in a thoughtful manner in which to increase jobs and tourism. This can be done by offering time limited tax breaks or grants for new ecological and historical tourism  companies.

### What are your thoughts on the state budget process? What changes, if any, would you support so that the budget is enacted in a timely manner?
While the budget process is complex, it is necessary to ensure accountability of dollars spent. However, streamlining business licensing and ensuring more diverse revenue streams such as the legalization of marijuana and taxing skill games will increase budgeting resources.

Healthcare

Everyone deserves to have quality healthcare. I believe that this is possible with a mixed healthcare system that guarantees basic healthcare to every individual but allows private health insurance for people who want quicker access to services. Furthermore, at least one federally qualified health center (FQHC) should exist in every county to offer low-cost or free healthcare.

Furthermore, at least one federally qualified health center (FQHC) should exist in every county to offer low-cost or free healthcare. There is also a need to encourage providers to work in rural settings. One way to immediately fill that gap is to allow certified nurse practitioners to have full-practice authority.

Daycare and Education

Most families today depend on a two-income household to survive, but daycare and pre-school expenses can be prohibitively high. By increasing subsidies for daycare and creating a universal Pre-K program, both parents will have the opportunity to work and contribute money to the household if they wish. Universal Pre-K will ensure that all children start kindergarten ready to learn and interact with peers, while having a solid foundation for further education.

Universal Pre-K will ensure that all children start kindergarten ready to learn and interact with peers, while having a solid foundation for further education. In addition, I want to ensure that every generation is ready to enter the workforce by expanding free job training opportunities and increasing dual enrollment programs for high school students. Lastly, tuition should be capped at a reasonable rate in all institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania, so as not to burden our families.

I believe that everyone deserves a brighter future.  I advocate for raising the minimum wage, expanding high quality affordable child care and universal pre-K, increasing funding for public schools, and  strengthening local food systems through the support of farmers and environmental conservation programs. In addition, I believe every person should have access to affordable housing and healthcare.

Environment and Renewable Energy

Every person has the right to clean air, water, and land. I will always support legislation that protects a safe environment for everyone to live in. I will also encourage conservation of natural resources through educational programs, expanded grant oppurtunities, and eco-tourism. In addition, I know the importance of securing sufficient energy for our communities by encouraging alternate resources such as solar, geothermal, or wind power.

In addition, I know the importance of securing sufficient energy for our communities by encouraging alternate resources such as solar, geothermal, or wind power. Renewable energy will help bring down the cost of electricity by providing extra sources of power that will not be affected by things such as war.

### Should the state legislature enact laws concerning the impacts on water, energy, or land use from the development and operation of data centers? Would state regulation of data center development and operation interfere with the authority of municipalities to establish ordinances under the MPC (Municipal Planning Code)?
I believe the state of Pennsylvania should legislate laws for the protection of land and water in respect to the building and operating of data centers. The Pennsylvania Constitution, section 127 guarantees “the people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment”. Data centers should not be allowed on farmland, public land, or land of important historical or environmental value.

Water usage should be limited to recycled wastewater so as not to use limited fresh water sources, and all electricity used should be produced by the data center (preferably with renewable resources).

Encourages conserving natural resources through educational programs, expanded grants, and ecotourism.

Encourages solar, geothermal, and wind power to increase energy supplies.

Proposes data-center safeguards, including land-use restrictions, recycled wastewater, and on-site electricity generation, preferably from renewable resources.

Redistricting

Additionally, Morgan supports fair redistricting in Pennsylvania by the formation of an

independent citizens redistricting commission (IRC) and passing legislation that will ensure transparency and public input.

### What changes, if any, would you support to enable better access, ensure security, and support the processes of our elections?
I would support easier access to voter registration and voting by helping with transportation, childcare, and paperwork that may be barriers. Nonpartisan voter guides and educational material should be readily available through government websites, public libraries, and government organizations.

Bipartisanship and Legislation

Morgan believes that in order for legislation to pass, members of all parties need to work together. Morgan supports procedural rule changes that will force bills that have clear bipartisan support to be brought to a vote in a committee and in the House of Representatives chamber.

Supports automatic voter registration, mail-in ballots, and free public transportation on Election Day.
