GENERAL ELECTION 2022

Democrat Mark Pinsley and Republican Jarrett Coleman are seeking the state Senate seat representing the 16th District. The candidates were asked to respond to the following question in 100 words or less:

Issue

How should Pennsylvania fund its schools?

Democrat Mark Pinsley No response was received from the candidate by our deadline.
Republican Jarrett Coleman No response was received from the candidate by our deadline for the print edition. The following response was received after our deadline. I believe that Pennsylvania should have the best schools in the country. The future for our children is so important, and education is the keystone of the American dream. This means that Pennsylvanians should invest in students, not systems. We need to make sure every kid has access to a great school, and not be denied based on their income or Zip code. When we empower parents to navigate their children's education, and attend a school that best fits their needs, we all win. In the end, this will make the most impact on our students, families, and communities. District 16 includes the City of Allentown (PART, Wards 13 and 18) and the townships of Heidelberg, Lower Macungie, Lower Milford, Lowhill, Lynn, North Whitehall, South Whitehall (PART, Districts 03, 06 and 08), Upper Macungie, Upper Milford, Upper Saucon, Washington and Weisenberg and the boroughs of Alburtis, Coopersburg, Macungie and Slatington.
