What David Will Fight For

Every goal has a clear target and a deadline — because that's how things get done in the real world.

Mission 1: Fight

Fight Local Corruption and End the Squandering of Your Tax Dollars

Too many local officials treat your tax dollars like Monopoly money. They spend without consequence because nobody's watching closely enough. David has seen this firsthand — a $107 million windfall, burned through with no accountability.

Eliminate Property Taxes — After 51+ Years of Broken Promises

▶ Goal: Eliminate school property taxes through HB 13, HB 1649, or similar legislation. Complete elimination — not a reduction, not a cap.

⏱ Deadline: Introduce legislation in David's first session. Fight for passage within his first term.

⚒ How: Other states have done it. Pennsylvania has the framework. The only thing missing is political will — and David has proven he doesn't lack that.

Reform Township Codes and Cut Red Tape

▶ Goal: Eliminate duplicate reporting, remove efficiency restrictions, end unfunded mandates, modernize procurement, and streamline zoning.

⏱ Deadline: Draft legislation first session. Build coalition for passage within 18 months. Target: 20% reduction in compliance costs.

Cap Tax Increases — Make Government Ask Permission

▶ Goal: Constitutional amendment or legislation capping local tax increases at the inflation rate without voter approval. No exceptions.

⏱ Deadline: Introduce within David's first six months.

Mission 2: Fix

Most people have no idea what their local government's real financial situation looks like. Balance sheets are buried in jargon. Debts are hidden. That's how irresponsible spending goes unchecked.

Plain English Fiscal Reports for Every Municipality

▶ Goal: Require every PA municipality to publish an annual "Plain English Fiscal Report" — no jargon, no fine print. Published online and mailed to every resident.

⏱ Deadline: Legislation introduced first session. Full implementation within one year of passage.

Reports would show: total debt per household, unfunded pension liabilities, five-year budget projections, comparisons to similar communities, and a clear breakdown of where your money goes.

Mission 3: Restore

100% MAGA — Restore the GOP's Reputation

The MAGA movement taught us something important: voters reward authenticity and punish phonies. David Hughes is not a RINO. He never will be. Here's his commitment:
