Fern shows up, even when it’s uncomfortable. If Brenda won’t face voters now, how can they trust her to stand up for them in Harrisburg? The empty chair speaks volumes. 💙

You can’t claim to stand for transparency while refusing to show up and be held accountable. Fern has repeatedly asked Brenda Pugh to debate, and Brenda has refused. Spending thousands on attack ads, then refusing to face your opponent and answer tough questions, is cowardly. >

We need time to protect our local resources, give power back to residents, and ensure our first responders have the equipment and training required for these massive facilities. Watch the video to hear more! 🎥👇

Optional moratorium sound like action, but they don’t give our communities any real protection. On this week's Fridays with Fern, I break down why we need a statewide mandatory moratorium on data centers.

Audio: “Hi everyone, it’s Fern.” Brain: Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it... Me: "Hi everyone, it's Fern... and we're dancing our way to the polls this November 3rd!" 🗣️💃🗳️ Once a vocal stim gets stuck in your head, there’s no stopping it!

No one should have to choose between food, heat, and staying in their home. 😤 But that's exactly the choice too many families in NEPA are facing right now because of rising utility rates and property taxes. We're fighting to turn that tide.

We’re proud to share that Pennsylvania Voters For Animals (PAVFA) have endorsed our campaign! 🐾 As animal lovers and fighters for justice for all beings-human or furry-we will always stay committed to protecting animals and fighting for our environment so that Pennsylvania ecosystems are healthy.

Proud to have the endorsement of Healthcare 4 All PA! 💪 We're honored to have their support as we fight to make Pennsylvania more affordable and make sure working families aren't left behind.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Having the support of our NEPA communities and citizens is key, and this endorsement from Kate Mahon (President), John Chernesky (Vice President), Bill Manley, and Cindy Taylor show that our campaign is committed to using our power in Harrisburg to help out communities like ours all across PA!

Our campaign has officially been endorsed by members of the Kingston Boro Council! This means a lot to me.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

This isn't just about technology; it's a fight for our future, our land, our way of life, and the safety of our children. While others compromise, Fern is spearheading the fight to protect our community from the data center invasion. We won't stop, and neither will she!

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

From Day 1, Fern Leard has been holding the line. 🛡 She is the one standing on the front lines at every single meeting, refusing to back down to corrupt local politicians.

At this point, we’re starting to think the smear campaign might actually be a Team Fern recruitment program. 😂 Keep going, guys. It’s working great. ⭐

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

NEPA folks have always had to fight for what's theirs. Some things never change 🎃 The outfit's different but the struggle is the same: working hard, paying your bills, and wondering why it never seems to be enough. This fall we're fighting to make sure 2026 is a little easier than 1776. Let's go.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

She calls out corruption, challenges backroom politics, and refuses to look the other way when people are being shut out of decisions that will affect their lives for generations. This is the kind of leader Fern has always been. She doesn’t just talk about fighting for people. She shows up and

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

🔥Harrisburg doesn’t need another politician who falls in line. We need a fighter willing to take on a rigged system and put the people back in charge. Fern shows up. She listens. And when a community is being ignored, she stands with them and speaks up, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

That's exactly what we're going to Harrisburg to fix.

My family is the reason I do everything I do. 💙 Like you, I'll never stop fighting to make sure my kids have a real shot at a good life right here in NEPA. But that gets harder every year. Rising utility bills, climbing property taxes, a government that keeps prioritizing the wrong people. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Anyone who knows me knows I take spooky season very seriously. 🎃 But this fall the scariest thing shouldn't be your electric bill or another politician who forgot who they work for. Let's make this the season we actually get something to celebrate.

The metric is officially giving iconic. 20,000 DOORS KNOCKED. 💅✨ That’s 20k real conversations with our neighbors this cycle. Team Fern is doing the literal work on the ground while everyone else is talking about it. We’re not slowing down anytime soon. Let’s keep this momentum. 💥

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

People across Pennsylvania have made their voices heard on big tech data centers, and we've been proud to stand with them every step of the way. 💙 From skyrocketing utility bills to environmental damage, the stakes are real. We're not stepping out of this fight.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

At this point, we’re starting to think Brenda might have a little crush on Fern. 😂 The constant attention. The posts, ads, the mailers! The obsession. Girl… just say you like her. 💙 Don’t worry, Brenda. All of Team Fern is here for it. 😂

Privacy matters. The Fourth Amendment matters. And neither should be taken lightly.

000

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Public safety matters, but so do the constitutional protections that limit government surveillance and searches. And when private companies are making money from surveillance technology, we should be asking who benefits and where the lines are drawn. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Our right to privacy doesn’t disappear when we leave our driveway. This week, I’m talking about Flock cameras, the Fourth Amendment, and the growing private surveillance industry. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Too many pols in Harrisburg would rather work for the wealthy and well-connected than the people who actually sent them there. And corporate PAC money is a big reason why. 💙 When we get to Harrisburg we'll fight to end pay-to-play politics so every community gets the representation it deserves.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Mail-in ballots drop this week and we want you to be first in line. 🗳️ Get your vote in early, then make sure everyone you know is voting Fern for PA-120. Let's go build a better NEPA.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Nobody here is a stranger to working hard and paying their fair share. 😤 So why are we also being handed the bill for massive corporations powering AI data centers with our resources? Harrisburg needs to get serious about stopping skyrocketing utility bills. We're ready to lead that fight.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

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

Harrisburg has spent too long catering to special interests and forgetting about the people who built our communities in the first place. Let’s start investing in the people who are already invested in us.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I want businesses to come to Pennsylvania, create good jobs, invest here, and grow. But when Harrisburg hands out special tax breaks to big out-of-state companies, it can suffocate opportunities for the small businesses already here trying to compete and grow. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

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

🎶 You can stand us up at the gates of hell, but we won’t back down. Let’s go, Team Fern. 💙

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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.

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

We may live in different towns and different districts, but we’re all NEPA. When one community is fighting to protect its home, the rest of us should show up and stand beside them.

000

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

We need a statewide mandatory three-year moratorium that gives every community time to get protections in place. Neighbors helping neighbors is what this is all about. >

120

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

This is exactly why an optional moratorium isn’t enough. If residents are already dealing with decisions made behind closed doors, leaving a moratorium up to those same local officials doesn’t protect them. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I went to Newport Township to stand with residents after 15 data center permits were approved in their community. They’re coming together, asking questions, demanding answers, and fighting for a voice in what happens in their own backyard. >

100

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

No matter where you live, you’re feeling the pressure of rising property taxes and the cost of living generally. That’s why our campaign is working to stop skyrocketing property taxes and make living in NEPA and throughout Pennsylvania more affordable! 💙

010

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Today, I stand with you again and keep fighting for a better future that starts with shaking up who’s in charge in Harrisburg!

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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. >

Fern for PA @fernleard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

We shouldn’t have to rely on a win in the Bingo hall to help us cover the exorbitant cost of our electric bills each month. It’s time to stop skyrocketing utility bills and make corporations pay their fair share!
