Economy & Taxes
Supports taxpayer-focused fiscal management, reducing fees and regulatory red tape, and policies described as making Pennsylvania more business-friendly; emphasizes transparency, cutting government waste, and returning unclaimed funds to residents. Advocates administrative changes to ease tax appeals and has pursued fee reductions in state savings programs. No evidence found of advocating significant tax increases or major wealth-redistribution measures.
Healthcare
The candidate has supported Republican federal budget measures and Republican policy priorities that critics say would reduce federal funding for health programs and Planned Parenthood; she has promoted defunding Planned Parenthood and aligned with the Trump administration’s healthcare-related proposals. Her campaign messaging emphasizes protecting certain welfare benefits but also backs policy changes tied to reduced federal healthcare funding and restrictions on reproductive providers.

Wade. Her public statements and campaign messaging indicate support for restricting abortion while allowing some exceptions.

Emphasizes protecting energy companies’ access to capital and favors market-driven support for domestic fossil-fuel and baseload generation alongside development of technology.
Public Safety & Guns
Stacy Garrity identifies as pro-gun and a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights and has backed measures to expand carry rights (including support for House Bill 659 to allow concealed carry without a license).
