PA House District 48
Rebecca is running to be the state representative in Harrisburg for Pennsylvania’s 48th House District, which covers a wide stretch of Washington County. It includes the City of Washington and Donora and a number of smaller townships and boroughs that exemplify this region.
The district includes the townships of Amwell, Carroll, East Finley, Fallowfield, Morris, North Franklin, North Strabane, Nottingham, Somerset, South Franklin, South Strabane, and West Finley, plus the boroughs of East Washington and Green Hills.
Some parts of the district are doing great. Others still don’t have broadband internet. What every part has in common is families who want strong schools, a hopeful future, and a continuation of that balance between people, business and nature.
The next ten years will bring real change to Washington County. New industries like robotics and advanced batteries are just a few of the big forces changing the world’s economy. We
At the same time, federal decisions about Medicaid, education funding, and infrastructure are going to hit places like ours first. Whether those changes help our families or leave them behind depends on the choices we make right now, and on whether the people making those choices are paying attention to the communities that have to live with the results.
Washington County has a lot that’s worth protecting. We’re known for our deep, union-strong roots in coal, steel, and natural gas, but we’re also the top county in Pennsylvania for beef cattle, and for sheep and wool. There is a balance between people, business, and nature.
We’re proud of Washington & Jefferson College, the Smog Museum and the Whiskey Rebellion. Major League Baseball legends Ken Griffey Senior, Ken Griffey Junior, and Stan Musial are all from Donora, but that doesn’t spoil us. We still love PONY League and the Washington Wild Things, who remain the most entertaining pro baseball team in all of Western Pennsylvania. 😉
