Abortion & reproductive rights: “Jessica fights to make sure that choice isn’t restricted by harmful laws that take away our rights. That's why she's endorsed by Planned Parenthood PA PAC and EMILY's List. Jessica also supports implementing solutions to maternal mortality and policies that make it easier to raise children, like universal Pre-K, early childhood programs, and paid sick and family leave.”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “As the co-chair of the legislature's LBGTQ+ Equality Caucus, Jess believes that no one should be at risk for losing their jobs or homes on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Jessica serves as the first out female member of the LGBTQ+ community in the PA state legislature and passed legislation through the House to protect the civil rights of our LGBTQ residents to ensure that everyone can live safely and freely in our state. She continues to fight for its passage through the Senate.”

(Campaign website) ⭐ My Story - Timothy McCune: “I am not a career politician. I am a husband, a father, a caregiver, and a lifelong community servant who understands the real challenges families face every day.”
(Campaign website) Education & schools: “My wife and I have lived in Brentwood since 2009, where we are raising our two sons with special needs. Being a father to children with special needs has shaped who I am. It has given me firsthand experience with the challenges families face with healthcare, education, services, and rising costs. These experiences are why I am committed to fighting for families who often feel unheard by government.”
