PA Rep. Martina White Joins RSLC's Podcast to Discuss the Importance of GOP Legislatures Holding the Line Against the Radical Liberal Agenda
Washington, DC —As voters begin to tune in to the rapidly approaching midterms and evaluate the stark contrast in quality of life between Republican and Democrat-led states, the committee today released a new podcast episode featuring Pennsylvania Representative Martina White. On this new episode of “It’s Bigger Than You Think,” White breaks down how Pennsylvania Republicans in the legislature have delivered for families, the disastrous agenda that Democrats would pursue if they gained full control of the state, and why the future of the Republican Party is bright in Pennsylvania.
Representative White has been a champion for her Philadelphia community and a critical voice in the fight to empower parents in their kids' education. She is another stellar example of the importance of the work of the RSLC’s the Right Leaders Network, the committee’s effort to recruit, train, and support women and minority candidates to broaden the tent of the GOP with more dynamic leaders.
“It’s Bigger Than You Think,” which is released bi-weekly and is available on Spotify, Anchor, iTunes, and Youtube, contains in-depth discussions with current and former state Republicans, national thought leaders, and top political strategists about the outsized impact state government has on the everyday lives of all Americans.

HIGHLIGHTS:
White on why she is optimistic for Pennsylvania's future:
“I think the future is bright, I really do. I think we are a purple state for sure, so we have our work cut out for us. But as more and more people see what the liberals and progressives are doing with their Democratic version of what they think is leadership and what that's actually bringing to our communities. Our state and our countries are just on a path for turning things around when they see what conservative government really looks like and the solutions that we have available to make a difference."
White on how Pennsylvania Republicans have delivered for families across the commonwealth:
“I'm most excited about legislation that we passed to give parents greater control over their children's education. School choice is so important to families, especially here in Philadelphia because there are children trapped in some of the lowest preforming schools in Pennsylvania... I just feel strongly along with the entire GOP that no child should miss educational opportunities because of the zip code that they're from."
White on the radical policies the Republican legislature has blocked Democrat Governor Tom Wolf from implementing:
“Almost every year Governor Wolf has been in office he has proposed a massive tax increase, I'm talking like the biggest in the nation tax and spending increases that would be disastrous for our economy and everyday working people. But we've stopped them dead in their tracks, as they should be, and we even had some of the folks advocating for the defunding of the police and that just is a totally radical agenda that we were able to stop as well... If we don't continue to hold the line then Pennsylvania, the commonwealth, is on its way to becoming the next liberal bastion to fail its citizens."
White on the threat to Pennsylvanians if Democrats take over the legislature:
“I would say there would be massive job loss and employers fleeing the state. There would be massive tax increases to pay for new liberal programs. I would even say there would be an exodus of the state's younger population and wage owners. It would be a vicious cycle of taxing."
