Affordability

Soaring cost of living is unsustainable.
Everyday Americans – hard-working families, retirees on fixed incomes, young adults starting out, veterans, college students, – suffer for the unjustified benefit of the millionaires and billionaires.

As 1.2 million veterans face Trump's halt of SNAP benefits (some among his 110,000 constituents), it's difficult to believe that our US Rep. John Joyce cares by his inaction.

How some describe Mike Johnson: Christian nationalist, coward, lapdog, traitor to the American People, absent
What he's looking for: How to forsake all of the sacrifices every veteran, union Member, and activist ever made in the name of Democracy.

Another stunning example of incompetence & cruelty: Trump administration isn’t releasing all of the emergency USDA funding to cover 1 month of SNAP to provide food to the 42 million) Americans (mostly children & elderly) who rely tinyurl.com/y8vuzye2
See ALT for the effect for Pennsylvanians
In Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, nearly 110,000 residents rely on the average $211 per person, per month to stave off hunger. Now, our neighbors will try to survive on half as much for the next month. And it will be delayed. When children starve, they fail to thrive, and often their growth is thwarted. Yet, our own US Representative, multimillionaire and licensed dermatologist, John Joyce, has no comment about this societal disaster brought about by the Republican shutdown of our federal government. Instead, he hides from his constituents, refusing to hold or even attend in-person town halls, nor is he known to answer the pleading emails with responses relevant to the subjects desperate people raise. But it doesn't have to be like this. John Joyce doesn't have to represent the people of our district. I can represent us in our US Congress instead. I can vote for legislation that feeds the hungry, not deny them food. I can vote for legislation that ensures the billionaires pay their fair share of taxes so we never have to face this American crisis again. And I can vote for higher federal minimum wages so Americans don't have to rely on SNAP in the first place. Please vote for me next year. Together, we #ChooseDemocracy and children's growth! https://tinyurl.com/y8vuzye2

Get out there and encourage others to retain those judges tomorrow! Otherwise, Pennsylvanians risk losing reproductive rights, fair voting districts, and more

The Republican-controlled Congress could end the government shutdown, but it's more important to deny extending subsidies to help pay for healthcare. See ALT for local food news.
Vote do-nothings like Rep. John Joyce out of office. Vote for me to recreate a functioning Congress. #ChooseDemocracy!
Thank you, Adams County Farmers Market, for standing up for the hungriest among us, unlike our US Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, who would rather deprive hungry people of food assistance (SNAP benefits) then extend subsidies for healthcare. And in other news, even before those subsidies expire ACA premiums are already increasing substantially next year for many, many Americans. Please vote out these Republican lawmakers from Congress who only want to pad the pockets of the billionaires instead of help those in need Please vote for me, Beth Farnham, into the office of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District so I can take care of our people and Americans across the country.

Thanks to volunteer emergency service providers who kept the crosswalks safe for local trick-or-treating.
It was a lovely evening full of aliens carrying people, video game monsters & princesses in our beautiful Congressional District. Let's see those costumes.

In Mercersburg, PA, Democracy isn’t safe. Kelcie, co-chair of the Mercersburg Halloween Parade, sponsored by the Lions Club, told me I couldn't use my navy&pink banner “They sacrificed for our Democracy” to honor my great-uncle & paternal grandfather who died serving our country. See ALT for more.
Kelcie explained that my banner couldn’t be used because it had the word, “Democracy” but if it said, “They died for our Freedom” or “They sacrificed for America” that might have been okay, but “Democracy” was not. She even added that my name was a problem & only “red, white, & blue” colors could be used. When I asked for clarification, she repeatedly claimed that it was “a gray area” and alluded to potential controversy. But the “Freedom,” or even “America,” Kelcie refers to doesn’t come from monarchy, fascism, dictatorship, or authoritarian rule. Freedom only comes from Democracy. I am a proud descendent of not only ancestors who served in World War II & postwar Germany, but others who served in the American Revolutionary War, Civil War Union army, & World War I. When I, a woman, campaign as Beth Farnham for Congress, I honor them, whether I carry their memorials in the colors I wish or I promote my slogan, “Choose Democracy.” They sacrificed so I could be free to do exactly these things. The Lions Club claims to be politically neutral, non religious, but in the Mercersburg Halloween Parade 2025, at least 2 churches were authorized whose messages include, “Feed us with your grace, and grant us the treasure that comes only from you, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord” & “We exist to share the good news of Jesus Christ by reaching out to others…” from their websites Not subtle, especially if someone isn’t expecting any church to be in a Halloween parade. And yet, squeezing out democratic norms, but asserting Christianity, happens all the time in PA-13. It’s why church events & participation are widely visible, but no Chambers of Congress, no newspapers & no institutions of higher learning in the District have ever sponsored a debate between me & Rep. John Joyce. Let's fight the creeping christofascism & #ChooseDemocracy instead!

Today is the 23rd day of the Republican shutdown of our federal government.
Because of this Republican shutdown, 110,000 residents of our own 13th Congressional District will be denied Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits starting November 1st, 2025

Poor Fulton County: When residents believed the 2020-election-was-stolen-from-Trump lie, Republican commissioners had unqualified third parties open their voting machines despite overwhelming Trump votes. Costs: $700,000+ to replace voting machines & $300,000+ to Dominion Voting. tinyurl.comh4m923h3
