arah Hammond is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania’s 11th congressional district. In 2018 she ran for the Pennsylvania State House, and the state Senate in 2019. She continues to run with the motto: “Failure is not an option.”
Sarah Hammond’s platform is progressive. She pledges to fight systemic racism and demand criminal justice reform. She champions union workers as the drivers of Pennsylvania’s middle class. She’s also a defender of reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights. Like many young people, Hammond understands the urgency of the climate crisis and supports Green New Deal policies. She’s also vowed to combat the opioid crisis and push for the expansion of health care for all citizens.
Sarah Hammond is running against Lloyd Smucker, who has held the seat since 2018. Smucker was previously a representative in the U.S. House in Pennsylvania's old 16th district and a state senator for five years. In 2011, Smucker cosponsored a bill to expand fracking in Pennsylvania. The same year, he cosponsored a bill to defund public education and siphon money into private schools. In Congress, he voted to remove healthcare protections for people with pre-existing conditions but made sure that did not apply to members of Congress. In the middle of a pandemic, Lloyd Smucker joined Republicans in their near unanimous vote against 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.
Sarah Hammond is the clear progressive choice in this race.Sarah Hammond
