Matt Ferrence is the Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania State House seat in the 6th legislative district. Ferrence is a former writer for the Indiana Gazette, where he covered local and regional government. Now an associate professor in the English department at Allegheny College.
Ferrence advocates for sustainable jobs with fair wages and ending the exploitation of Pennsylvania’s resources by out-of-state corporations. He supports increased funding for public schools and separation of school funding from property taxes. Ferrence also advocates for fixing our healthcare system to guarantee affordable healthcare for all Pennsylvanians.
Ferrence is challenging Republican Brad Roae, who has held the seat since 2007. Roae has consistently voted against the use of clean energy sources. In 2018, he voted to make it more difficult to qualify for Medicaid. In 2019, he voted to eliminate the General Assistance, the largest anti-poverty program in the state. He has voted repeatedly to take away his constituents legal right to reproductive care. Roae also voted to defund poorer school districts in favor of wealthier ones and charter schools. In the middle of a pandemic, Brad Roae joined Republicans in their near unanimous vote against providing protective gear, testing, hazard pay, family leave, and preserving disaster declarations put in place to protect Pennsylvanians.
Matt Ferrance is the clear progressive choice in this race.Matt Ferrence
