Kelly McDonough is the Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives in the 129th district. McDonough is a government and politics teacher at Wilson High School. Her experience in civic activism includes organizing the community to raise half a million dollars for the pediatric cancer research in Pennsylvania.
McDonough’s top priorities include raising the minimum wage, protecting public school funding and fighting for affordable health care. She also styles herself as a champion for environmental conservation, green jobs and protecting reproductive rights. McDonough advocates for paid family leave and lower prescription drug costs. She has spoken out in support of civil rights marches against racism and police brutality.
She is running to unseat Republican incumbent Jim Cox, who has held the seat since 2007. In 2017, Cox sponsored a bill to take away food stamps from his struggling constituents. In 2018, he sponsored a bill to revoke Medicaid from people in his district who were too sick to work. Later that year, he cosponsored a bill to exempt oil companies from having to report oil spills that destroy the local environment and hurt residents. In the middle of a pandemic, Jim Cox 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.
Kelly McDonough is the clear progressive choice in this race.Kelly McDonough
