INTERVIEW: The Real Issues Facing Rural Pennsylvania: School Funding, Minimum Wage, Energy Costs, Medicaid & Rural Hospitals

As Rebecca MacTaggart runs for State Rep., voters want answers on unconstitutional school funding, PA’s $7.25 minimum wage, rising electricity rates, data center expansion & the future of healthcare.

As rural communities struggle with unconstitutional school funding, stagnant wages, rising electricity rates, and threats to Medicaid, candidates must answer one question: who is state policy really working for?

Voters aren’t talking about abstract partisan fights.

They’re asking whether their kids can get the education they deserve. Whether their paycheck stretches to the end of the month. Whether their parents can age at home with dignity. Whether the community they love will still feel livable in ten years.

I interviewed Rebecca MacTaggart who is running for State Rep. in the 48th District of Pennsylvania to discuss these issues and more.

This conversation wasn’t about political theater. It’s about the real-world impact of state policy on families, rural communities, and the long-term future of Pennsylvania.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video!
