Bradley Merkl-Gump

Healthcare He will also push to require insurance plans to offer standardized options for primary care in order to simplify choices, improve transparency, and remove financial barriers that prevent people from getting the care they need. Education The state has a constitutional obligation to fully support its public schools, and Bradley will fight to see that promise fulfilled. Fully funded public schools will create much needed property tax relief for families and seniors across Lehigh & Bucks. Bradley opposes poorly regulated voucher programs with limited oversight that have failed the students who need support most and will advocate for stronger oversight and accountability for charter schools. Housing Bradley will prioritize building more homes families and seniors can afford. This will allow the next generation to live in the communities where they work, and seniors on fixed incomes to remain in our area. He will also work to slow the spread of big box warehouses and preserve the open spaces that define Lehigh and Bucks Counties. Taxes / Budget Bradley will work to reduce the cost of energy by increasing production, decrease constant property tax increases by ensuring that education is funded fairly by the state, increase access to affordable college and trade school education by funding grants for essential jobs, and hold corporations accountable for price gouging on groceries, utilities, and household essentials.
