Priority Issues:

Kortz identifies five main issues he will place particular emphasis on during his tenure in the legislature: economic development in the Mon Valley; property tax reform; increased state funding for education; transportation and infrastructure planning and funding; and government reform. While economic development is his top priority, he will work on many levels to make the 38th District, and all of Western Pennsylvania, a wonderful place to live, work and enjoy time with family and friends.
