Despite my opponent's claims, he has repeatedly voted against legislation that safeguards our communities against the effects of Data Centers. You can count on me to regulate PA's existing Data Centers and stand up with municipalities against Big Tech developers #datacenter #PAproud #PeoplePowered

We had a great time at the Conestoga Township Car Show on Saturday morning hosted by First Responders Friends. The cars were awesome and we managed to meet a few llamas before the rain hit!

My opponent repeatedly voted against regulating data centers built here Lancaster or currently being built around PA. You can count on me to hold these data centers accountable for their energy and water use. Your bills shouldn’t go up because big tech companies don't want to pay their fair share.

In December 2020, our current representative, Steve Mentzer, signed a letter urging Congress to throw out OUR votes. Steve Mentzer sided with Trump, not with we the people. He sided to undermine the same political process that elected him. Vote Jess Branas for Representative in the 97th.

Pennsylvania is now No. 1 in measles cases and Lancaster County also takes the top spot. Whether you want a vaccine or not, the choice should be affordable and accessible! #peoplepowered #PAproud #pa97 #lancasterpa #measles

With Lancaster County at the center of this measles outbreak, it’s important to recognize those who stand with science and public heath, and those who are against it. If elected, I will fight to remove barriers so vaccinations are easily accessible for those who want them.

Jess Branas @jessbranas.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Lancaster farmers make up 20% of our county economy and are key partners to local businesses. With fuel and fertilizer prices rising and harvest beginning, farmers can't afford to have a representative who is silent about their struggles. It’s time we help our farmers!

Rep. Mentzer watched our utility bills increase by 30% the last two years and offered no solutions. He stayed silent at Public Utilities Commission hearings, perhaps because energy companies and lobbyists are his second-largest donors. It’s time for solutions for hard-working families in the 97th.

Thank you Manheim Township Police Department and Fire Rescue for a beautiful 9-11 ceremony this morning. That day changed many of our lives. We picture it like yesterday. Let us remember how we all came together as a community and celebrate all who pushed divisions aside to do extraordinary things.

Jess Branas @jessbranas.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Today, we remember the innocent lives lost and the heroic actions of first responders. We remember the selflessness of those heroes, embodying what it truly means to be a member of their community. May we take inspiration from their actions and help those in times of distress.

There’s no reason to disenfranchise voters. It’s been proven time and again that voting by mail is safe and secure. No matter your political party, I believe voting should be easy and accessible. #Jess4PA #PAProud

While there’s a lot happening on the national stage about mail-in voting, you need to know it is still safe and secure here in PA. No matter how you cast your vote this election season, your voice deserves to be heard.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gloria Steinem in 2015. An icon, activist, and champion for equality and women’s right around the world, she was a woman who was strong and fearless. Her presence was sheer inspiration. Rest in Power Gloria… thank you for all that you brought to the world.

The Supreme Court sided with Trump allowing his Executive Order restricting mail-in voting. This partisan decision opens the door to Trump's weaponization of your Post Office.
