Change the Way Harrisburg Works…to Protect Our Money

Rosemary Brown understands what matters most to our families and seniors
because she lives the same life as we do. Most importantly, she has the business
background and real world experience to change the way Harrisburg works
and get our state back on track.

Like us, Rosemary is tired of the politicians and bureaucrats in Harrisburg forgetting that they work for us. As our State Representative, she will fight for real reform by standing up to the special interests and career politicians.

Legislate in the Light of Day
Too much of what is done in Harrisburg is done behind closed doors and by a few powerful politicians. We need to make the state legislature more open and transparent to the public -- and we need to take power away from a select few so every legislator has a strong voice.

End the Perks
Serving in the legislature should be like working in the real world: submit valid expenses for what you pay for and nothing else.

A Pension Like We Get
Legislators should have the same type of retirement plans we do: 401(k) plans that require contributions from the employee instead of big, taxpayer-paid plans that set them up for life after only just 10 years of work. The current economic downturn and this system have created a more than billion dollar crisis for the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
