Jess is talking about poverty. Lancaster city had a 20% poverty rate in 2000, and has a 30% poverty rate now, higher than Philly or Pittsburgh. Reading (just outside the district) has a 40% poverty rate. "Trickle down never trickles down. It just stays at the top."
I honestly don't understand why the entire Democratic party is not campaigning on Medicare for all. It is the most galvanizing issue of 2018. Yet somehow the national party managed to get to the right of the Republicans (who campaign hard on saving Medicare) on this pivotal issue
Wages, campaign finance reform, and health care are the issues that connect best with voters in rural districts I've visited. Unfortunately, those are the three issues that the donor class doesn't want the national Democrats to touch. It's like we're running against both parties.
First question is on oversight—is there any way Congress can oversee and control some of the policy changes taking place? Jess answers—that's Congress's job! But she's working hard to run a campaign that is not just against things, but for things. Responding with hope to despair.
A very broad question on transportation and energy. Jess wants a rail connection to DC (right now the only rail link goes through Philadelphia). Opportunities for wind and renewable power in the region.
A question on Nancy Pelosi! Why is everyone so fascinated with my congresswoman? Jess says she would vote for new leadership. We need change, and we need younger leadership. The average age of Congress has crept well above 65. It's time for a generational shift.
Debates! One debate has been confirmed on October 1. 650 person venue sold out in one hour. Congressman Smucker has not had a single public town hall meeting, so people may just be interested in seeing whether he exists. Jess will do all the debates she can get Smucker to attend
