Michelle Siegel is a proud daughter of the rural Central Susquehanna Valley, where she still resides with her family. Michelle was the Class of 2000 valedictorian for Selinsgrove Area High. She attended Susquehanna University and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Earth and Environmental Sciences. . She worked as the youth director at St. Paul's UCC church. She is a member of the Rivertown Coalition, Climate Reality Project, HUB for Progress, and Selinsgrove REC. Michelle is the Chair of the Snyder County Democrats and Secretary for the PA Democratic Party's North Central Caucus.
Michelle knows how corporate greed can harm hardworking people. Her grandparents' well was poisoned by an ash dam pit, which a power company failed to line. The water contamination caused her uncle to develop ulcerative colitis and colon cancer. Like many proud rural natives, he could not bear to take money from family members to help defray his healthcare costs, he ended his treatments, and passed away at a young age. Michelle will defend our state's constitutional guarantee of clean air, soil, and water and fight to reform healthcare. She will work tirelessly for every hardworking Pennsylvanian because- we matter.
- Rural Bill of Rights
- Closure of the Delaware Tax Loophole
- Holding Government Accountable
Rural people are too often ignored in Harrisburg. A lack of affordable and accessible healthcare has devastated rural people. The burdensome added costs of the Gas Tax have hit us hard because we drive everywhere. Our local schools, farms, and businesses are struggling, while career politicians remain silent. It's time our tax dollars benefited "we the people," not corporate donors. Rural people need a bill of rights-The Rural Bill of Rights.
The Rural Bill of Rights is as follows:
1. Access to Hospitals and Affordable Healthcare
2. Access to Broadband and Cell Phone Service
3. Access to Public Transportation
4. Investment in Public Education
5. Protection and Growth of Family Farms
6. Access to Good Paying Jobs and Worker Protections
7. Infrastructure Investments
8. Support of Local Businesses
9. Access to Clean Air, Water, and Land
10. Upholding the PA and US Constitutions.
