2026 Pennsylvania General Election 

Financial security is a broad and pressing issue facing our residents. According to the February 2026 Adams County profile on pa.gov, per capita income in Adams County is about $10,000 less than the state average, so our residents feel the sting of high food, gas and housing costs. Sustainable solutions are found in partnership with community organizations.

As a state legislator, I will forge partnerships with existing economic and business development organizations and community care organizations to identify legislative opportunities to strengthen how and what they provide to the residents of our district.

Plans to partner with economic-development and community-care organizations to identify legislation that strengthens their services for district residents.

Healthcare

WHAT WOULD KATHLEEN PRATT DO?
I support public investment in child care and Pre-K to support children, working families, businesses and our state’s economy. One answer is to increase state subsidies to qualified and vetted child care providers. Families earning up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, $128,600 for a family of four, should have access to affordable, high quality child care.

WHAT WOULD KATHLEEN PRATT DO?
Let’s fix the broken funding system that places an imbalanced burden on local taxpayers. I will work to identify recurring special revenue streams at the state level that can be allocated to public education, and provide the potential for local tax relief for property owners. This won’t be easy, but the current system is unsustainable.

Education

WHAT WOULD KATHLEEN PRATT DO?

I want you to have fair energy access and fair pricing. Regulation and oversight of utilities are necessary in order to protect you.

AFFORDABLE ENERGY — Kathleen Pratt: New Voice. Better Choice for the 91st district

I support construction of new power plants to service all sectors of our economy, but with the provision that they conform to environmental regulations that keep their workers and host communities safe.

Power plants impact their host communities and they should pay impact fees to the local county, municipality, and school district.

Some say data centers could be the next industrial revolution. Let’s learn from the first Industrial Revolution and be smarter to both benefit economically and protect the well-being of our people and natural resources. The state legislature has the responsibility to protect state-interest natural resources through regulation.

Municipalities, if they choose to host a data center with their authority to make land use decisions, have an opportunity to build community partnerships with developers, not just once and done land deals. Deals could build in requirements for the developer to Invest back into the municipality through profit sharing perhaps used for environmental initiatives, community programing, support of startups, and more.

WHAT WOULD KATHLEEN PRATT DO?
You’ve heard me say, “not on my watch,” because of skyrocketing costs to consumers, poisoning of the environment, and the community’s longing to protect our rural landscape. Unless data centers can ensure that consumer costs won’t increase and resources are protected, I stand by, “not on my watch.”

There is little to no evidence of election tampering in the state of Pennsylvania. We have highly trained and dedicated county elections office workers who are laser-focused on conducting fair and equal elections as governed by law.
