On the Issues

See William McGill's stance on the issues.

What are your positions on economic policies (ex: inflation, taxes, regulations, etc.)?
The folks of the Pennsylvania State Senate District 25 are facing the same economic concerns as others in regard to higher prices in comparison to their buying power. The citizens within this district want their elected leaders to lower taxes or create...
What is your position on addressing the cost of housing?
Let's encourage home builders to accept the challenges of building affordable housing by providing investment incentives to them. I would like for the state to create housing assistance programs for home ownership, and a renter's assistance program.
What is your position on healthcare access?
In the rural communities we've had too many hospital, and clinic closings. The stress it's causing in our rural communities is huge. From lack of maternity care, to elderly care, we have allowed these large medical care conglomerates to place profits...
What is your position on immigration policy?
Immigration we must remember are people who are trying to escape tyranny, and oppressive governments. These folks are asking for a new opportunity. These folks are poor, their kids are starving. Their governments aren't providing or promoting good will...
What is your position on abortion policy?
Abortion is not a political issue. It's a personal healthcare decision. Women know what's best for their bodies, not government. Physicians are the experts in assisting, and advising their female patients. Women's support system is provided by...
What is your position on gun ownership policy?
As a United States Army Veteran I know the difference of a hunting rifle, and an assault weapon. While both are manufactured as a tool for killing, the assault weapon is meant to be a weapon of mass destruction, that's why they are the weapon of choice...
What is your position on environmental policy? (ex: addressing climate change, clean water, clean air, etc.)
Those that keep denying climate change and science are a danger to all of us. We continue to place our love of fossil fuels ahead of alternative energy sources. The folks that love fossil fuel loves green...but their love of green is in dollars, not in...
What is your position on LGBTQ rights? (ex: marriage, adoption, gender-affirming care, sports participation, etc.)
Let me be clear, who you love, who you live with, how you live your life, is your right in a free and open society. Just like a woman's right to choose....so must we protect the rights of those to love, marry, adopt, and be a family unit as they choose...
What is your position on addressing lowering the cost of higher education in Pennsylvania?
I believe we can all agree that higher education cost is debilitating to our students. It's sad that in order to pursue a career by way of a college degree, a person is punished by the exuberant expense of that education. It places our graduates in...
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Please allow me to state how important it is for us to end our division in America. We're much better together as a society when we reject the rhetoric of division. That's why it's important for our Legislators to demonstrate the ability of acceptance...
