Campaign themes
2014
Yoder's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "I propose to pay for support of education by imposing a severance tax on natural gas. Pennsylvania is failing to collect such a tax now, which I consider inexcusable."
Jobs
- Excerpt: "I will advocate for job creation through investment and modernization of our infrastructure. That means rebuilding failing bridges and roads, improving public transit, and creating more walkable/bikeable communities."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "I will advocate for Pennsylvania accepting federal funding to expand access to healthcare coverage just as West Virginia, New Jersey, Ohio, New York and Maryland have done. Pennsylvania is needlessly losing money and lives every day we reject the funds, all because of political grandstanding."
