Pillars

  • Opportunity

    Every child should have the same chance at an excellent education, but Pennsylvania’s school bureaucracy limits our next generation’s potential. We work to expand school choice so that the system works for students—not the other way around.
  • Prosperity

    Pennsylvania must become an attractive home for families, job creators, and innovators. We push back against tax hikes, excessive regulation, and big government to unleash our economy so that every Pennsylvanian can earn success in our state.
  • Independence

    No one should have to depend on the government for happiness or success. Policies that encourage work and entrepreneurship help all Pennsylvanians escape the cycle of dependence and become self-reliant.
  • Fairness

    Public sector unions use their lobbying power to advance policies that burden taxpayers, business owners, students, and working professionals. We strike at the root of this problem by exposing public sector union corruption and ensuring favoritism and special interests have no place in Pennsylvania.
