Andrew Lewis, a former Pennsylvania state representative, is the new president at the Commonwealth Foundation, the state’s premier public policy organization. He stepped into the job in September, just as America turned its attention to the Keystone State, which will play a decisive role in the 2024 election. In an interview with The Daily Signal, Lewis pinpointed the key issues facing Pennsylvania voters, starting with the higher prices they’re paying for gas, groceries, and housing. “The big issue on everybody’s mind is inflation and the cost of living,” Lewis said. “Over the last few years, voters and citizens have been given what’s tantamount to a 20% tax hike … and not being able to afford what they used to be able to afford just a few years ago.” As a near-lifelong Pennsylvanian, Lewis shared his aspirations for the state, faulting poor leadership as an impediment hampering the Keystone State. He cited Pennsylvania’s strategic location and natural resources as key advantages, but blamed high taxes and regulations as reasons why its residents are fleeing for other states. “We’re the Keystone State. We’re the epicenter of the East Coast. We’ve got great competitive advantages here,” Lewis explained. “We should be leading economically, we should be adding to our population base. We’ve got so much potential, but unfortunately, a lot of leftist policies have held the state back for years.” Andrew Lewis served two terms in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. (Photo courtesy of Lewis) Lewis plans to use his experience in the state legislature to guide the Commonwealth Foundation’s efforts and help Pennsylvania achieve its true potential. He cited the energy sector as crucial to Pennsylvania’s economy, warning that restrictive government policies could undermine its competitive advantage. “If you were to rank Pennsylvania as its own nation, you would see we’re in the top of exporters globally,” Lewis said. “We have this massive opportunity.” Education reform is another priority for Lewis. As a lawmaker, he championed parental rights and the need for school choice. “Parents know best what their kids need for their educational journey,” he said. “And it’s not always the government school.” The Lifeline Scholarship Program, which would provide educational opportunities for students in underperforming schools, was a step away from becoming law until Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro issued a line-item veto in 2023. Shapiro, who touted his support for the idea during his 2022 campaign for governor, flip-flopped when faced with pressure from teachers unions. Looking ahead to the future, Lewis outlined his vision for the Commonwealth Foundation, promising to maximize the organization’s impact through policy development, government affairs, and storytelling. “We transform free-market ideas into actionable public policies so that all Pennsylvanians can flourish,” he said.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s Univision town hall went about as expected. nothing earth-shattering but with some interesting choices from Univision, and with more unanswered questions than at the beginning. The Regime Media’s coverage of the town hall will include some version of “Harris addressed Latino voters in Las Vegas.” Technically, she did both of these things. But of the nine questioners at this town hall, only ONE was from Las Vegas. The rest came from such locations as Tampa (FL), San Diego (CA), Deltona (FL), Santa Monica (CA), Yuma (AZ), Beloit (WI) and two persons from Los Angeles. This leaves one wondering whether it is a common practice to fly town hall participants from across the country. Enrique Acevedo moderated this town hall in the truest sense, asking no questions of his own and letting the attendees’ questions set the tone. Harris begins with an opening statement that triples down on her attempt to inject herself into Florida’s response to Hurricane Milton before rolling into her stump speech: Kamala Harris once again politicizes the hurricanes, working them into her rambling opening statement at the Univision town hall. pic.twitter.com/B7nWLyhbOf — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 The first question is from a gentleman from Tampa, with concerns that the administration’s response to Helene was insufficient. Harris goes into other elements of her stump speech: "This is not a time for politics," says vice president who played politics with Hurricane Milton pic.twitter.com/QQjiqjcRKy — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Next, the only attendee local to Las Vegas, who asks what amounts to an immigration question- personal story notwithstanding. Harris goes into standard immigration talking points: First immigration question for Harris, who pitches the DOA comprehensive immigration bill and the failed border bill negotiated after Biden-Harris broke the border and allowed 10M illegal migrants to enter the country. Harris revives shelved "daughter of immigrants" identity pic.twitter.com/ZPdtxYNfln — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 The next question comes from a Department of Defense employee from San Diego who had to wait two years for an MRI. This becomes a question about how to improve “access to health care”, which Harris calls a right. Harris gets a question on healthcare, tiptoes right up to the line of reiterating Medicare for All support. If you are playing the "I come from the middle class" drinking game, take your first shot. pic.twitter.com/f8xvAkglng — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 The next questioner, from Deltona, Florida: “How will you help the disabled people so that they can get insurance and Make America Great Again?” Harris gets a question on healthcare, tiptoes right up to the line of reiterating Medicare for All support. If you are playing the "I come from the middle class" drinking game, take your first shot. pic.twitter.com/f8xvAkglng — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 The next questioner, from Santa Monica, CA, asks Harris to explain how she became the Democrat nominee. Harris repeats multiple hoaxes: Trump leaner asks Harris to explain how she is DEM POTUS nominee despite no primary, and on the intraparty coup that removed Biden as Dem nominee. Harris says she and Biden have been partners for last 4 years, cites Cheney endorsements, TL;DR: Biden got pushed out bc DEMOCRACY pic.twitter.com/S92mU53MKA — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Probably the most interesting question of the night, from Carlos from Yuma, who asks Harris to differentiate herself from Biden on immigration. Carlos from Arizona: "What will you do differently from Joe Biden to secure the border?" Harris: Word salad. Promises to bring back border security bill and pathway to citizenship. False choice to do one or the other. Still offers no differentiation from Biden when asked. pic.twitter.com/tzQ6ISo5Wo — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Back to immigration: Harris gets asked how she will preserve DACA. Harris pitches a comprehensive immigration bill. The questioner is from Pico Rivera, CA: First time voter asks Harris how she will get DACA to continue. Triples down on comprehensive with pathway to citizenship: "one of the priorities for me, frankly, in terms of my motivation for what I know we must do." pic.twitter.com/OOrFlBjlOi — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Harris gets a food prices questions from a voter in Chino Hills, CA. Harris responds with word salads on price gouging, etc. Cost of living and food prices question from a mother of 5: HARRIS: I know prices are too high, still. I, too, am from the working class. (DRINK!) Harris rolls out the Hispanic accent, pitches price controls and her standard stump econ plan. pic.twitter.com/ssS3AAF7cQ — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Next, the obligatory abortion question, from a voter from Beloit, WI: The obligatory abortion question: Harris's most passionate, concise, and coherent answer, in any setting, will always be on abortion. Make of that what you will. pic.twitter.com/uIs6vA8IkH — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Finally, a chief of staff from UCLA asks Harris to name three virtues possessed by former President Donald Trump. Harris can only name one. Harris is asked to name three VIRTUES possessed by Donald Trump: 1. He loves his family. This concludes the town hall pic.twitter.com/OfPODP6qXY — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 11, 2024 Post-town hall, there is some question over whether Harris used a teleprompter during the town hall. I suspect that the teleprompter going viral is there for the moderator. Had Harris’s prompter shut down, she would’ve glitched out á la “32 days”. Moderator Acevedo did a reasonably good job of keeping the questions moving. There remains the question regarding why questioners were flown in from around the country. President Donald Trump’s town hall is next week. We’ll see whether anything changes in the moderation, format, or questions asked by the audience. As far as this town hall went, I suspect it didn’t move the needle with where Hispanics are at on Harris. But it did expose her on immigration and continuity with Joe Biden. Back to the drawing board.
