My Position on Important Issues

Economic Development: Rob’s experience working on projects in the region including the Ambridge Brownfields Project, Center Township Retail Corridor and Pennsylvania Bio Diesel has created and retained jobs. Sound economic development equals progress which increases the tax base and benefits all residents.

Education: Rob believes the state must work to fund education at a higher percentage. This must be done to increase a level playing field for all of our school districts while at the same time getting our children an education to compete in a global economy.

Healthcare: Rob will continue the fight to provide affordable health care for all Pennsylvanians.

Infrastructure: Rob’s experience working with local governments to identify funding sources to help with capital projects has reduced the burden on tax payers while rebuilding infrastructure.

Main Street PA: Rob has worked with the Rivertown Partnership, a unique collection of the downtown communities in Beaver County who support the development of our business districts. This program is one of a kind in Pennsylvania. The Rivertown Partnership is an ideal model for other smaller counties which would foster collaboration and an increased funding pool for our Main Streets.

Property Taxes: The State has made strides in tax-reform in recent history and Rob will continue to work towards a fair and equitable reform for all homeowners while working towards providing our youth with the best possible education.

Quality of Life: Rob has worked with many municipalities and other community groups that have produced upgrades and the building of parks, walking trails and other recreation amenities.
