Garrity says helping farmers is a campaign priority: she wants to create a 'farmer-focused office' to coordinate permits and simplify paperwork, expand agriculture workforce training, and cut farm borrowing costs with a Treasury-backed interest-rate buy-down of up to 3%.
“Helping farmers is another priority of Garrity's campaign. She says she wants to create a 'farmer-focused office' to coordinate permits and otherwise simplify paperwork for them, and has also pitched more agriculture workforce training and cutting borrowing costs for farm businesses with 'a Treasury-backed interest rate buy-down of up to 3%.'”
On data centers, Garrity said she would support 'a model where they either bring their own power, or they pay for their own power,' plus ordinances to keep them from being built too close to residential areas and community benefit agreements so local communities share in the benefit.

Garrity's central economic vision centers on aggressively expanding Pennsylvania's natural gas drilling to fuel economic growth and AI development. She says the state must 'unleash the liquid fuel that we have at our feet' and end what she characterizes as a drilling moratorium. She opposes the RGGI cap-and-trade program, supports a gasoline tax moratorium, and wants data centers to 'bring their own power or pay for their own power.' She frames energy development as the path to lowering costs, creating jobs, and making Pennsylvania competitive.
“We will utilize the God-given resources under our feet to fuel the technological revolution of the 21st century. Pennsylvania can power the world, but only if the Shapiro administration stops its moratorium.”

“Elections that are easy to participate in and impossible to doubt.”
Garrity says Pennsylvania's answer to rising energy prices is expanding natural gas production: 'we really need to unleash the liquid fuel that we have at our feet.' She says under her administration the debate would be about using natural gas reserves to power AI development rather than replacing the RGGI cap-and-trade program, and she supports a moratorium on the state gasoline tax and further steps to cut energy taxes and electricity prices.
“Under my administration, the debate will not be about what will replace RGGI [the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative], it will be about how we can use our natural gas reserves to amplify Pennsylvania's role in American AI development and beyond.”
