Chrissy Houlahan is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's 6th congressional district. She grew up in a family of Holocaust survivors and military personnel. She has many accomplishments in public service. For instance, she was a leader at B Lab, the organization that started the B Corporation movement for corporate social responsibility.
Houlahan’s record demonstrates care for the well-being of her constituents. Her top priorities are affordable healthcare, gun safety, government accountability, and providing workers with good jobs that provide fair wages and benefits. Last year, she voted to allow the Department of Health and Human Services to negotiate the prices of drugs, to lower costs for families. She also voted for stronger background checks for the transfer of firearms. Additionally, Houlahan voted to implement an incremental increase in the federal minimum wage. During the pandemic, Chrissy Houlahan voted for the HEROES act, which provides full extended unemployment insurance, stimulus checks, support for health care systems, protective gear and testing for frontline workers, mail-in election funding, funding for state budget shortages to prevent layoffs, and new small business loans. Republicans almost unanimously voted against all of these measures.
Houlahan is facing two challengers in the general election: Republican John Emmons and Independent candidate John McHugh. John Emmons has a background in business, and he advocates for tax cuts for corporations. He values affordable healthcare, and believes it will happen on its own if hospitals and pharmaceutical companies are forced to be transparent in their pricing. Emmons also claims to be in favor of environmental conservation, but he advocates for fewer regulations for polluters. Most of his positions appear to be detrimental to his potential constituents.
John McHugh is an unserious candidate. He advocates for renewable energy but does not give specifics or plan to increase their use. He calls for businesses to stop damaging the environment but does not advocate for any specific policies to hold them accountable. He highlights a need for affordable healthcare for America’s aging population but has no plan to make it happen.
Chrissy Houlahan is the clear progressive choice in this race.Chrissy Houlahan
