ZACH'S PRIORITIES

I’m running because I believe rural Pennsylvania deserves better than being ignored, managed, or left behind.

Our communities are facing serious challenges: healthcare services are disappearing, schools are being stretched thin, Main Streets are struggling, and too many decisions are being made without enough input from the people who actually live here.

I believe District 67 deserves a representative who listens, shows up, and fights for the people who call this place home.

Access to healthcare should not depend on your ZIP code.

Families in our rural communities shouldn't have to travel hours for emergency care, maternity care, specialists, or basic medical services. The continued loss of healthcare access in our region is inconvenient and dangerous.

I will fight for policies that protect and expand rural healthcare access, support local hospitals and providers, and make sure communities like ours are not left out of statewide healthcare decisions.

I don't support new data center projects in Pennsylvania that strain local resources, benefit outside corporations, and fail to deliver meaningful value to the communities hosting them.

These projects can place pressure on energy, water, land, and infrastructure while creating far fewer long-term local jobs than many people expect.

Before Pennsylvania gives away resources, incentives, or land, we should be asking a simple question: does this actually benefit the people who live here?

In short: no new data centers.

I'm a techie in my personal life, and understand the tremendous amounts of personal data that corporations collect. Pennsylvanians deserve real control over their personal data.

People should know when their information is being collected, how it is being used, who it is being sold to, and whether it is being used to track or monitor them.

I support stronger protections against unchecked data collection, data brokerage, biometric tracking, and unnecessary surveillance.

Technology should serve people and not be used to quietly strip away their privacy.

Saying "I'm strongly opposed to expanding mass surveillance systems that monitor everyday people without clear limits, accountability, or public oversight" seems like a bit of an understatement, admittedly.

Public safety matters, but it can't become an excuse to normalize constant tracking, automated monitoring, or the unchecked collection of personal data.

Communities deserve transparency, strict privacy protections, and a real say before surveillance technology is adopted.

Putting rural communities first means listening to the people who live here and fighting for the issues that affect our daily lives.

That means protecting healthcare access, supporting schools, investing in Main Streets, improving infrastructure, defending privacy, and making sure state government understands that small towns matter.

You can help by talking to your neighbors, sharing the campaign, volunteering, donating, or simply reaching out to tell me what matters most to you and your family. Seriously. Reach out and let me know what issues matter most to you. Democrat. Republican. Independent. I don't care. I want to represent you and the issues that matter most to you.

This campaign is about building something together. Every conversation, every contribution, and every person who gets involved helps move District 67 forward.
