Know Before You Vote

We asked candidates for US Congress, PA Senate (only odd-numbered districts are up for election) and PA House to answer the following survey questions:

1. Do you support amending the Pennsylvania constitution to create an independent citizens commission for both congressional and state legislative districts?
2. Do you support legislation to ensure transparency, public input and clear, prioritized criteria for redistricting of congressional and state legislative districts?
3. Do you support counting incarcerated persons at their last known place of residence (if they were in-state residents), rather than in their places of incarceration, for purposes of redistricting and representation? (Note: This does not impact allocation of federal or state funding.)

Candidates were invited to provide up to 3 links to their own statements or webpages. For incumbent candidates, we’re also providing cosponsor information on House Bill 1776 and Senate Bill 1076, legislation Fair Districts PA supported in the 2023-2024 session.

Want to help advocate in your district?

We’re looking for volunteers who will sign up to get to know candidates, attend candidate events and connect NOW, before the election, then continue as a local legislative liaison as we ask for support in the 2025-2026 session. If you’re interested in any part of that, or want to learn more, sign up here.
