Today's the day. Last chance to be counted in our end-of-quarter report. 💙 We've built something real here and we want the numbers to show it. If you've been thinking about chipping in, now's the moment. secure.actblue.com/donate/fern4pa120

I want our Main Streets full, our small businesses growing, and our kids able to build a good life right here at home. >

We won’t back down. 💪 Fern and Team Fern are out knocking doors, talking to voters, and putting in the work one conversation at a time. They can throw the money, the attacks, and the noise at us. We’ll keep doing what we’ve always done: showing up and fighting for the people of the 120th.

Newport Township isn’t in the 120th District, but NEPA is a small place, and what happens in the community next door affects all of us. Our water, our power grid, and our environment don’t stop at district lines. >

Property taxes keep rising while incomes stay the same. We're on an unsustainable trajectory that’s pushing people out of their homes and forcing them to make hard decisions about what gets paid for and what doesn’t in daily life. >

Three days until our end-of-quarter deadline. ⏰ Every dollar that comes in before then shows NEPA and the rest of Pennsylvania that this grassroots campaign is for real. No corporate PAC money. Just neighbors investing in a better Harrisburg. >

I’ve spent much of my life fighting for the causes I believe matter most to my community and our future. I’ve advocated for laws that helped to give millions much-needed healthcare coverage, and I’ve stood with my community in saying no to more big corporate data centers. >

You know what’s even better than getting a BINGO? Not having to pay incredibly high utility bills! ⚡ These days, it feels like big corporations are calling all of the shots and leaving us to pick up the pieces. >

The first rule of fighting data centers? You don’t wait for someone else to do it. Fern took the fight to the local level. She stood with residents, pushed for stronger protections, and kept showing up when it mattered. Now it’s time to take the fight to Harrisburg.

We’re already paying for healthcare. It comes out of our paychecks, our taxes, and the pockets of small and family-owned businesses trying to cover their employees. >

There’s nothing better than supporting our local entrepreneurs and small businesses. 🛍️ They are the lifeblood of our community; they are critical to the future of NEPA and our state. >

When we come together as a community, we can do great things! 💙 Finding solutions that help us better leverage our pre-existing resources is a cornerstone of our campaign’s platform. >

I took the time to complete @ballotpedia.org's Candidate Connection survey to share my vision and goals. You'll be able to see the responses on my profile soon.

When you take time to stop and actually listen to people, it’s not hard to see that most of us want the same basic things - affordable communities, fair prices, and a government that works for us, not against us! >

Happy Fall Equinox! 🍂🍁 Today marks the official start of fall, and there’s nothing quite like autumn in NEPA. Crisp mornings, changing leaves, football games, fall festivals, and our communities coming together. Wishing everyone a beautiful first day of fall! 🍎🎃🍂

The PUC wanted a rubber stamp for UGI corporate greed. They got Fern Leard instead. 👊💥 Multi-billion dollar utility companies are posting record profits while working families are being forced to choose between putting food on the table or keeping the lights on.

The Pennsylvania PUC just released a study confirming what we've been saying all along. ⚡ Data centers are growing so fast that by 2030, grid reliability could be nearly 6x worse than the standard designed to keep your lights on. SIX TIMES?! >

Today we observe Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism and a time of reflection, repentance, forgiveness, and renewal. Yom Kippur reminds us of the importance of looking inward, taking responsibility for our actions, extending grace to others, and striving to be better than we were yesterday. >

You know what’s better than yelling at your phone about politics? Actually doing something about it. 😂💙 Knock some doors. Make some calls. Meet some really great people. Get your steps in. Accidentally become way too invested in local politics. >

Apparently there’s been a VERY serious investigation happening in our comment section. 😂 “Where are you actually from?” “Another state?” “Another country?” “Another region?” Guys. You got us. 🎶 She’s just a small-town girl… born and raised in Northeast PA. 🎶 I know. Devastating plot twist.

If every election could be won just by talking to neighbors and knocking doors, then we’d be in for an easy victory. Unfortunately though, elections take money! >

Billionaire Jeffrey Yass is pouring dark money into our district to fund a harsh smear campaign against Fern. These loopholes allow ultra-wealthy groups to spend unlimited cash on misleading ads while hiding their true donors from our community. >

15 data centers and three gas generation facilities are being proposed in Newport Township. Newport may be outside District 120, but projects this large don’t stop at district lines. Our water, power grid, environment, and communities are all connected. >

We have consumer protections during emergencies so change to : If a company raises prices just because they know you have no other choice, that’s not a free market. That’s taking advantage of people. 💰 >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Our communities are not sacrifice zones. 😤 Working families in NEPA should not be stuck paying higher utility bills so massive corporations can power energy-hungry data centers. Our water, our homes, and our way of life are not bargaining chips. I will make sure they never are.

You can’t be a watchdog and a lap dog. It’s just that simple! 🐶 If a lawmaker is responsible for overseeing an industry, they shouldn’t be taking campaign money from that industry. We need rules that stop conflicts of interest before they happen, not excuses after somebody gets caught. >

Guys, we’re starting to think the other side might be a little obsessed with Fern. They keep spending money to put her face in your mailbox while Fern keeps knocking on your doors and talking about utility bills, property taxes, and the issues actually affecting people here in NEPA.

Today we celebrate Grandparents Day, but for many families, grandparents are more than grandparents. They are the babysitters, the school pickup crew, the emergency contact, the safe place to land, and sometimes the very people raising the next generation. >

🥾💥 Fern Leard isn't here to play nice with insider politicians. She’s a real person, not a career politician, and she doesn't care about playing party games. If it’s not for the residents of PA up, she’s going to call it out. Fern Leard is for the PEOPLE, period. 🦅✊

🚨 YARD SIGN SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNBELIEVABLE! 🚨We are completely blown away. We put out over 900 yard signs, and thanks to your incredible energy… WE ARE OFFICIALLY OUT! 😲🙌We are so sorry to anyone who didn't get one yet, but we heard you loud and clear! We have already ordered more signs...

Everything costs more, but our paychecks aren’t stretching any further. Property taxes, utility bills, groceries, insurance. Working families are getting hit from every direction. Harrisburg doesn’t need to keep finding new ways to take more of our money. >

Apparently, leaving the girls unsupervised in the campaign office was our first mistake. 😂 No campaign materials were harmed in the making of this video. Productivity, however, remains under investigation. Just a little office shenanigans keeping campaign life interesting. 😂

Out knocking doors in the Back Mountain with my favorite little campaign buddy, Logan. 💙 I love getting out, talking with people, hearing what matters to them, and doing it all in the community where I’m raising my own family.

Hey, we know what it’s like to look in the couch cushions for loose change. 😂💙 So we’re never going to pretend $5 or $10 is nothing. We know it isn’t. But that’s also why every small donation to this campaign means so much to us. >

We're in the home stretch and we need all hands on deck. 💙 Knocking doors, making calls, talking to neighbors — this is how grassroots campaigns win. No experience needed. Just show up ready to fight for NEPA. votefern4pa.com/take-action/

The weekend was never a gift. Workers fought for it. Every weekend, every workplace protection, every bit of progress working people have won came because ordinary people stood together and demanded better.

Here in NEPA, when someone in our community is down, we help them get back up. That's just how we were raised. 💪 That's the spirit guiding this campaign. We're no strangers to hard work, for ourselves or for each other. Time to bring that same spirit to Harrisburg.
