Rebecca Prendergast is running because the people of Pennsylvania's 145th House District deserve a representative who does the work: protecting our communities, making life more affordable, strengthening our local economy, and making sure Harrisburg answers to the people who live here. From there, her campaign puts Upper Bucks first.

Good government shouldn't be a mystery. You should know what your representative believes, what they're fighting for, and why.

Rebecca's priorities come down to a few common-sense values: responsibility, fairness, transparency, local control, and results for Upper Bucks. These are her guiding values.

Protecting Our Communities from Irresponsible Development

Growth should strengthen our communities, not come at their expense. That matters especially in Upper Bucks.

Upper Bucks is special, and the people who live here know exactly why: our farms, small towns, open spaces, neighborhoods, and the generations of families who've invested in building this community.

Economic development can be a good thing, but only when it's thoughtful, responsible, and accountable to the people who'll live with the consequences. That concern matters even more now, with massive data center projects being proposed across Pennsylvania.

Before projects of this scale move forward, Rebecca believes residents deserve real, enforceable protections. Resources like our water and farmland are irreplaceable. And our electric grid, local infrastructure, communities, and our taxpayers deserve protections. Development shouldn't mean families absorbing higher costs. Municipalities shouldn't be stuck carrying new burdens. And residents shouldn't find out about major decisions after they've already been made.

Rebecca will fight for responsible development, meaningful public input, strong safeguards, and honesty about who benefits, but who pays.

Making It Easier for Families and Seniors to Afford Life Here

People who built their lives in Upper Bucks should be able to afford to stay here.

Families are feeling the squeeze from nearly every direction: housing, healthcare, childcare, utilities, property taxes, groceries, the everyday cost of raising kids. Seniors on fixed incomes face much of the same pressure, just trying to stay in the homes and communities they love.

To Rebecca, affordability isn't about any one bill or tax. It's about whether people can build a stable life here without constantly bracing for the next increase that might push them out.

In Harrisburg, she'll judge policy by a simple question: does this make life more affordable and secure for the people who live here?

That means cutting unnecessary cost pressures, backing policies that help families manage healthcare and childcare costs, and protecting homeowners and seniors from being priced out of the community they call home.

Building a Stronger Local Economy

A strong economy starts with strong local communities, so Upper Bucks deserves the attention it should get.

Upper Bucks shouldn't just be a place people pass through on their way somewhere else. Our towns should be places where firms can open, families can build lives, and young people can picture a future for themselves here.

Rebecca wants Harrisburg to pay more attention to communities like Quakertown and the rest of Upper Bucks by backing small businesses, supporting responsible investment, revitalizing commercial areas, and helping create good, long-term local jobs.

Economic development should benefit the surrounding community. That means standing behind the entrepreneurs willing to take a chance on a storefront, helping the businesses already here stay and grow, and investing in the infrastructure that brings more people and opportunity into our town centers.

We can grow without losing what makes Upper Bucks feel like home.

Investing in the People Who Keep Our Communities Strong

Public service isn't an expense to trim. It's an investment in communities that work, and that investment matters every day.

Every day, people across the 145th District depend on public school teachers and staff, police officers, firefighters, EMTs and first responders, municipal employees, road crews, and plenty of other public servants most of us barely think about until something goes wrong.

Rebecca believes Harrisburg has a responsibility to make sure our communities have the resources, infrastructure, and workforce to function well. That means we shouldn't have to keep asking residents and municipalities to do more with less.

That means supporting strong public schools, reliable emergency services, safe infrastructure, and the people who do this work every day. Invest wisely in a community's foundations, and everyone benefits.

Putting the 145th District Ahead of Party Politics

Rebecca is running as an independent because representation should start with the people, not a party. That principle comes first.

The 145th is tired of the infighting in Harrisburg, and Rebecca believes it deserves something different. She'll work with Democrats, Republicans, and independents- anyone willing to deliver for Upper Bucks. She'll insist on transparency, refuse to bend to special interests, and make decisions based on what the district needs, not what party leadership wants.

Being independent doesn't mean having no principles. It means one thing is always clear: her first responsibility is to the people who sent her to Harrisburg.

A Representative You Can Hold Accountable

Rebecca doesn't expect voters to just take a campaign's word for it. So, ask the questions. Look at the facts. Find out where Rebecca stands before you vote and hold her accountable for her choices.

Ask the questions. Look at the facts. Find out where Rebecca stands before you vote.  Rebecca is committed to being clear about where she stands and to giving voters what they need to decide.

Ask the questions, look at the facts, and decide whether Rebecca is the representative Upper Bucks needs. Then vote for Rebecca because we deserve representation that's accessible, accountable, independent, and focused on getting the job done.
