- "@AndrewDevoss correct again. Yes, NO AMERICAN should be taxed on their Social Security Benefit, especially their twilight years. You paid into; it is yours. FIRST HAND experience here: it costs $60,000+ annually to live in a private senior living facility in Chester County; that is for a one bedroom efficiency. The the avg. SSB is $1,862 a month. Do the math." (x.com)

- "The Inflation Reduction Act is a joke, and no one in Chester and Berks Counties is laughing. FACT: Pennsylvania has the highest grocery prices in the country. Read that statement again. Eggs, on average, are $4.52 across the state! Chrissy Houlahan voted YES for the Inflation Reduction Act. Neil Young will work to overturn this devastating policy" (neilyoung24.com)

- "Opportunity is the bedrock on which this nation was founded. Increased energy output always lead to human advancement and where it is both affordable and dependable, poverty and human suffering are reduced. Our presidentâs words and actions have been true to his promise to "end fossil fuel." We must pursue all energy options and demand that our elected leaders do not empower our enemies and jeopardize our sovereignty through their restrictive, inflation-inducing war on fossil fuels. National security, not a handshake in Paris, must be the primary driver of our energy policies." (neilyoungforcongress.com)

- "As of 2022, Pennsylvania had 273,364 energy workers across the state. The cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline cost 59,000 jobs. That is outrageous! By reopening the Keystone Pipeline, PA can lead the charge of our nationâs energy independence for the benefit of Chester and Berks Counties." (neilyoung24.com)

- "Our Border is a mess: 2.5 million illegal immigrants a year. Drugs, trafficking, and even terrorist pouring into our country.(254) As the father of an adopted son from Ethiopia I am well aware of the legal process to immigrate to this country and it is deliberate, costly, and orderly. And that is what it must be." (neilyoungforcongress.com)
- "Restoring order in this nation begins at our borders. Our current chief executive is unwilling and uninterested in enforcing our existing laws. This is neither acceptable nor sustainable. The uninterrupted supply chain of fentanyl and other illegal drugs flowing into this country is killing our young people at unimaginable rates." (neilyoungforcongress.com)
- "During his campaign, our president gave the green light for the world to, "immediately surge to the border." The world has taken him up on his open border policy, including terrorists and traffickers, and the results have left our nation and the world less safe. Increasing border patrol agents, tightening asylum standards, requiring E-verify, criminalizing visa overstays, and resuming border wall construction are proven best practice methods to regain operational control over our border. We must elect leaders that push for HB2 to be taken up in the Senate and a president that will sign it into law." (neilyoungforcongress.com)
