Pennsylvania First. America First.
Family is the Nucleus of Our Society.
Everything we do as legislators should be done from the perspective of how will it strengthen the family. If it doesn’t first strengthen the American family, then why would we consider it?

What Kathy Stands For
Kathy Barnette is running for office because she has too. Good people have sat on the sidelines for far too long. As a result, we’ve created a vacuum that is being filled by some of the most despotic and debased individuals. Kathy believes America is the greatest country that has ever existed.
She is the greatest country that has ever existed because she was founded upon the greatest political document ever written – the U.S. Constitution.
Kathy stands for preserving the U.S. Constitution, recognizing that our country doesn’t exist apart from it.
Kathy is not a “parrot” Conservative. Meaning, she has not simply memorized some Conservative “talking points” and simply parrots it back to you. These past two years should have taught us a very important lesson about what type of leader we need to have fighting for us. Now more than ever, we need strong and authentic Republican voices standing up and defending the rights we hold dear. Kathy Barnette promises you that she will be that voice for the citizens of Pennsylvania and Our Great Nation.

Policies
Health Care
McCarran-Ferguson Act – Is as relevant today as it was when it was adopted. It declares “that the continued regulation and taxation by the several States of the business of insurance is in the public interest, and that silence on the part of the Congress shall not be construed to impose any barrier to the regulation or taxation of such business by the several States.” It stated that from then on, “no Act of Congress shall be construed to invalidate, impair, or supersede any law enacted by any State for the purpose of regulating the business of insurance.”

Immigration
Article 4, Section 4 – Protecting our borders under the U.S. Constitution: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against Invasion…(to include invasion of drug cartels and uncontrolled ILLEGAL immigration)[1].
Border control is a question of sovereignty, but the open border policies of the Biden Administration and Democrat controlled Congress are dangerous and counterproductive. The Administration is refusing to enforce our laws and openly proclaiming to the world that we will not seek to keep caravans out of the United States or remove unlawfully present people. This encourages desperate people to entrust their lives to traffickers and to risk travel across some of the most inhospitable territory in the world. Despite the claim these policies are about helping poor people, they are anything but “compassionate.”

Medical Freedom
As your U.S. Senator, I will vociferously defend your Medical Freedom.
- Medical Freedom means “patient autonomy.” I, the individual, get to decide what treatments I will subject my body to.
- Medical Freedom also means the freedom to discuss ideas and differing views. Who are we, if not slaves, if we can no longer even question what happens to our own bodies? We are at a very dangerous time in America’s history when those on one side of the argument gets to be the sole arbitrator of truth.
In America, for now, we still have the right to question the “experts.” In fact, asking questions is central to “good” science.
The scientific method:
- Ask a question
- Discuss what is observed
- Test hypothesis
- Look for trends

Parental Choice
What I Believe:
1. I believe in parental choice.
2. I believe as parents we love our children more than Dr. Fauci, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi, combined. As such, I believe that if given the best available information parents will make the best decision for their family.
3. I believe in parental consent BEFORE a child is vaccinated.
4. I believe there should be absolutely no vaccine mandates, specifically among those 18 and younger.
5. I believe there is no logical reason to jab perfectly healthy children with an experimental vaccine we do not know the long-term developmental and reproductive impact it will have on our children.
6. I believe Americans should have the same or more rights than unlawfully present aliens who are being resettled throughout the nation unvaccinated, untested, and unverified.
7. I believe categorizing vociferous dissent as “domestic terrorism” is wrong and removes legitimate parental concerns from the realm of civic debate.
8. I believe parents have the right to see all books and materials used in classes taken by their children.
9. I believe in school choice.
10. I believe we can do better than this Administration.

Jobs
Creating an ECONOMY that creates JOBS!
I want to create an economy where corporations don’t have to leave our country to flee our onerous tax system. Instead, they can keep their money and investments here and provide jobs in America.
I want to create an economy where the Middle-Class is not squeezed under the pressures of taxes, instability, inflation, mandates, and regulations.
I want to create an economy where those who find themselves below the bottom rung of the economic ladder, as I once was, have the ability to claw themselves from underneath that rock and carve out a life for themselves.

The Emancipation Statue in Washington, D.C. and a Change.org petition
In the summer of 2020, the Left was calling for the removal of statues across our nation.
One of the statues they targeted was the Emancipation Memorial Statue. The statue portrays President Lincoln standing above a former slave as he begins to rise from a kneeling position.
Here are a few of the headlines from that time:
Rally at Emancipation Monument calls for removal of statue, engaging in conversations on race
It was at this time that Kathy Barnette took a stand to save the Emancipation Statue. In a petition that she launched on Change.org, she wrote,
“There is an effort to remove [the statue] because many people feel that it depicts the freed slave in a perpetual subservient position. This is a concern that should be addressed, however, tearing down what represents our past is not the answer for our nation’s future. Instead, the best way to heal our nation is to continue to tell its story. This is why we’re proposing new markers and monuments that display America’s evolution as it continues down that path of becoming a more perfect union.”
Kathy proposed the erection of two new statues to serve as powerful visuals to all, of the progress that has been made in our country.
1. She proposed a statue of America’s first black president be built near the Emancipation Statue and placed in such a way that the former slave, rising from kneeling, is looking toward the first black president, Barack Obama, standing with his family. It would serve as a powerful visual to all of how far our country has progressed in racial relations.
2. She also proposed a statue of Frederick Douglas, one of the most prominent leaders of the Abolitionist Movement.
