Both of the candidates running in the April 23, 2024, Republican primary election for Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 90 — Janon Gray (R) and Chad Reichard (R) — completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey. These survey responses allow voters to hear directly from candidates about what motivates them to run for office.
Here are the candidates’ responses to the question: What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Gray:
- “The Economy- Streamlined Budget Process, Determine Ways to Fund the Pension Liability, Welfare Work Requirements Reform
- Education- Modernizing the Education System & School Choice
- Youth Services- Work to streamline the foster care and adoption processes
- Veterans’ Affairs- Addressing Isolation, Suicide & Mental Health Issues
- Agriculture- Predictability & Reasonableness of Regulations, Preserve Farmland & Property Owner’s Rights”
Reichard:
“I am passionate about workforce development and economics. We are exporting our younger workforce to other states. Pennsylvania needs to adopt policies that attract skilled and educated labor to our Commonwealth and to offer paid apprenticeship programs to those seeking to enter the trades. Businesses continue to locate to Franklin County, but need the workforce to fill those positions. Attracting those workers will boost our local economy while addressing the structural deficit currently projected in future state budgets.”
