Improving public transportation in Levittown and Bucks County is crucial to address the current inadequacies. The extended travel times and limited accessibility hinder residents' ability to reach their destinations efficiently. I advocate for the development of an easily accessible public transportation system that reflects realistic travel times, ensuring that a 15-minute car ride doesn't turn into a 3-hour commute. By enhancing public transportation, we can empower individuals and families to secure and maintain employment, fostering economic growth within the community.

Furthermore, I am committed to ensuring fair compensation for the employees of this new public transportation system. It is imperative that we find sustainable ways to provide them with a livable wage without burdening the citizens of Levittown and Bucks County with increased taxes. By balancing efficiency, accessibility, and fair compensation, we can create a public transportation system that truly serves the needs and aspirations of our community.

Addressing homelessness in Levittown demands immediate and compassionate action. While existing options fall short, I advocate for exploring innovative solutions to provide shelter and support for those in need. It is unacceptable for individuals experiencing homelessness to be left out in the cold, and our community must do better.

One avenue for improvement is repurposing abandoned buildings to serve as temporary housing facilities. I propose a thorough examination of available structures that can be retrofitted to accommodate the basic needs of individuals without a home. The recently sold Oliver Heckman Elementary School, while no longer an option, serves as a reminder of the potential for repurposing existing spaces for the greater good.

Crucially, I am committed to finding funding for these initiatives without burdening our citizens with increased taxes. This may involve creative solutions such as fundraising efforts or reallocation of existing budgets to ensure that we can provide temporary housing for the homeless population without placing an additional financial strain on the community. By prioritizing compassion and resourcefulness, we can work together to create a more inclusive and supportive Levittown and Bucks County for everyone.

Education serves as the bedrock of our collective future, and recent attempts at book banning pose a threat to the open exchange of ideas within our community. I firmly oppose any censorship that deems certain literature as "immoral" based on a particular political perspective. While I acknowledge the importance of age-appropriate material, decisions about what is suitable for children should involve parents and older students, respecting their autonomy and diverse perspectives.

History, even when it is uncomfortable, plays a vital role in our growth as a community. Levittown, like any other place, has a complex history that includes both positive and challenging aspects. Erasing or ignoring this history hinders our ability to learn and progress toward becoming a better community. Instead, I advocate for a comprehensive and honest approach to education that acknowledges the past, fostering a community that learns, grows, and works collectively toward a brighter future.

Recognizing the diversity in learning styles, I believe in tailoring education to meet the individual needs of each child. Every student is unique, and their educational experience should reflect this diversity. By ensuring that our educational system is flexible and accommodating, we can provide a more inclusive and effective learning environment, setting our youth on a path to success.

Social services are the cornerstone of our commitment to support those facing various challenges, from mental health and substance abuse issues to family struggles. To ensure the well-being of our citizens in the long term, I advocate for increased investment in social work initiatives.

While Levittown benefits from being part of a county with a co-responder program, it's evident that our social workers are stretched thin. The current system leaves social workers overworked, underpaid, and exposed to secondhand trauma daily. To address this, I propose a comprehensive review and enhancement of our social services infrastructure, focusing on increased resources, fair compensation, and additional support mechanisms for our dedicated social workers. By prioritizing the well-being of those who support our community's most vulnerable members, we can build a stronger, more compassionate Levittown for everyone.

In Levittown and the state of Pennsylvania, a woman's right to make decisions about her own body is a fundamental principle that must be upheld. However, recent developments, such as the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade, highlight the precarious nature of these rights across the nation as certain states take these rights away.

To safeguard women's rights in Levittown, I staunchly support a woman's autonomy over her own body. We must remain vigilant against any attempts to curtail these rights. Additionally, I am committed to advocating for comprehensive reproductive healthcare services, ensuring that women have access to the information and resources needed to make informed decisions about their health.

It is disconcerting to witness other states where women's rights are eroded while simultaneously witnessing the prioritization of certain rights over others. In Levittown, we will stand against such regressive trends and affirm our commitment to women's rights as a cornerstone of our community values.

In 2024, the threat to LGBTQIA+ rights is deeply concerning and calls for unwavering support for equality and inclusion. It is imperative that, as a community, we recognize and affirm the principle that love is love. The choices and identities of our neighbors should not be subject to judgment or interference, as they do not impact the lives of others.

Moreover, I am a staunch advocate for the rights of transgender individuals. It is essential to acknowledge and affirm the validity of their identities. No one should be coerced into denying their true selves, as doing so constitutes a form of abuse. Respecting a person's gender identity and the autonomy they have over their own bodies is not only a matter of basic human decency but a fundamental right that must be protected.

Levittown must serve as a beacon of acceptance and understanding, rejecting any attempts to roll back LGBTQIA+ rights. By fostering a community that celebrates diversity and embraces the rights of all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, we contribute to creating a more just and inclusive society for everyone.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of Levittown, and their struggles against larger retailers demand our attention and proactive support. As a community, we must recognize the importance of small businesses and their contribution to the unique character of Levittown.

To fortify the local economy and preserve the vibrancy of our community, I propose a comprehensive initiative that encourages citizens to "live local, shop local." This initiative aims to foster a sense of community pride and economic resilience by promoting the patronage of small, locally-owned businesses.

By choosing to support small businesses, residents contribute directly to the prosperity of their neighbors and the community at large. Initiatives such as this not only help sustain the economic health of Levittown but also maintain the distinctive charm and character that small businesses bring to our community. Together, we can cultivate a thriving local economy that benefits everyone.
