Education

Working families shouldn’t pay a higher effective tax rate than multinational corporations. We need a tax system that is built on fairness. I’ll fight for a middle class tax cut while ensuring large corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share so middle class Americans get a much needed tax cut.

Priorities - Bob Harvie for Congress

Families shouldn’t pay more at the checkout line because of Washington’s bad trade policies. I will fight to roll back Trump’s tariffs that unnecessarily increase the cost of food and household essentials for American consumers while supporting smart trade policies that strengthen American manufacturing and agriculture. For too long, the minimum wage in this country has remained stagnant. I believe we need to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.

10. Ban AI Price Manipulation. Crack Down on Groceries and Goods Price Gouging:

New technology should help consumers—not exploit them. Increasingly, corporations are using artificial intelligence and personal data to adjust prices and maximize profits. We must hold corporations who are taking advantage of working class Americans accountable. I will ban AI-driven surveillance pricing on essential goods like groceries and strengthen federal enforcement against corporate price gouging so families know they’re paying a fair price.

Economy

Millions of Americans rely on Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to keep their health insurance within reach. I’ll fight to permanently restore and expand those tax credits so families don’t wake up to hundreds of dollars in higher monthly premiums simply because Congress failed to act.

I believe we need to lower the age that Americans can buy into Medicare from 65 to 55.

Unlike Brian Fitzpatrick, who voted against lowering the cost of prescription medications for seniors, I’ll expand Medicare’s authority to negotiate prescription drug prices, cap insulin costs, and take on pharmaceutical companies that put profits ahead of patients.

Washington should answer to voters, not corporations. The Citizens United decision flooded our elections with unlimited special interest money, giving billionaires and corporate PACs more influence than working families. I have pledged not to take a dime of corporate PAC money. Brian Fitzpatrick has taken $4.5 million from corporate PACs. That money is not free.

In Congress I’ll fight to overturn Citizens United and permanently ban corporate PAC contributions because  the voice of Americans shouldn’t be drowned out by a corporate check.

9. Ban Partisan Gerrymandering:

Politicians shouldn’t get to pick their voters, voters should pick their politicians. Partisan gerrymandering has made our politics more extreme by creating safe districts where politicians fear primary opponents more than the people they represent. I support independent redistricting commissions that create fair maps and more competitive elections.

11. Put a Stop to Data Center Overdevelopment:

People in our community are increasingly concerned about data center overdevelopment, and Brian Fitzpatrick is doing nothing about it. In fact, he’s made it worse. After taking more than $4.5 million in corporate PAC donations, Fitzpatrick voted for $20 billion in tax breaks for data center companies and to ban state and local communities from regulating data centers for 10 years.

That’s why I’m calling for a moratorium on new data center development in our community. Before we approve another data center, we need to know that energy costs won’t be passed on to ratepayers, how much water and electricity it will consume, and how many long-term local jobs it will actually create.

12. Invest in Clean Energy and 21st Century Infrastructure:

This isn’t just about protecting our planet, it’s also about lowering energy costs, creating good-paying union jobs, and ensuring America leads the global economy instead of falling behind. As a teacher and Bucks County Commissioner, I’ve seen that smart investments in modern infrastructure strengthen our communities and leave the next generation better off.

That’s why I’ll fight to expand clean energy, modernize our electric grid, and build resilient roads, bridges, and public transit systems that keep our economy moving.

Calls for a moratorium on new local data-center development pending review of energy, water, ratepayer, and job impacts.

Plans to expand clean energy, modernize the electric grid, and invest in resilient transportation infrastructure.
