Issues
For Elizabeth Moro, there’s always room at the table to work together to find solutions to the challenges we face. The best ideas don’t come from behind closed doors, they come from around the table.
The problem is, as prices continue to rise and healthcare becomes even more unaffordable, our leaders in Harrisburg just aren't listening.
That’s why Elizabeth is inviting each of us to pull up a chair so we can get to work making life better and more affordable for our community.
That means:
Lower Healthcare Costs
No one should have to drain their bank account or go into debt to be seen by a doctor. As a small business owner, Elizabeth understands the costs and challenges of finding reliable healthcare.
In Harrisburg, Elizabeth will:
• Lower prescription drug costs for families
• Expand urgent care and telehealth options
• Make insurers cover mental health care
• Stop private equity buyouts of hospitals
Lower Energy Costs
When we have to pay more every month just to keep the lights on and the temperature right, it puts a strain on our household budgets. It also hurts small businesses and our local economy.
In Harrisburg, Elizabeth will:
• Strengthen rebates on energy-efficient upgrades
• Support affordable, clean energy alternatives
• Require transparency before utility rate hikes
• Protect grid capacity from data centers
Make Homes Affordable
Our community is a great place to live, work, and raise a family—but for too many of us, housing costs are too high. When people can’t afford to stay in our community, it hurts ALL of us.
In Harrisburg, Elizabeth will:
• Build and preserve housing stock
• Protect renters from unfair rent spikes
• Expand property tax relief for families
• Crack down on predatory investors
Set Our Kids Up for Success
Elizabeth believes that every day is an opportunity to work towards a bright future for our kids. As a mom, she knows the value of public education—when it is strong for all children, we all benefit.
In Harrisburg, Elizabeth will:
• Fully fund our public schools
• Make quality childcare more accessible
• Keep guns out of our schools
• Make college and job training affordable
Strengthen Our Local Economy
As a small business owner, Elizabeth knows that everything is more expensive these days: eggs, coffee, utilities—and it’s making it harder for families to succeed.
In Harrisburg, Elizabeth will:
• Work to lower costs
• Increase Pennsylvania’s minimum wage
• Bring good, family-sustaining jobs in the skilled trades back to our community.
Defend Our Rights and Freedoms
Pennsylvania is the birthplace of our democracy. Our state history is rich with examples of individuals who sacrificed everything to ensure our liberties. Every day we feel the impact of the attacks on our rights and freedoms.
More than ever, we need our state and local governments to be the front lines to defending our right to vote, our reproductive freedom, and our civil democracy. As she shares in her book, "The Civil Graces Project," Elizabeth understands that these rights are fundamental to who we are as Americans—and she’s dedicated to protecting them.
