Protecting Land and Water in District 131

Green Lane Reservoir. Saucon Creek. Farms across the Upper Perkiomen Valley. We fish, walk, work, and get clean water from these places.

One bad vote in Harrisburg can harm them fast. Meriam will fight drilling on public land, save working farms, and make new growth pay its way.

Once a stream is dirty or a farm is paved, no press release can fix it.

What Meriam Will Protect

No Drilling in State Parks or Forests

State parks and forests belong to all of us. Keep them open for clean water, wildlife, and family trips—not oil and gas wells.

❌ Milou Mackenzie was the main sponsor of HB 55. Her bill would open state parks and forests to oil and gas drilling.

Protect Farmland and Green Space

Keep working farms in business, most of all in the Upper Perkiomen Valley. State farm funds can help families hold their land.

❌ Mackenzie’s drilling bill put oil and gas firms ahead of the public land we share.

Keep Water Clean

Saucon Creek and Green Lane Reservoir need care. Fund stream banks, storm drains, and work that keeps dirty runoff out.

❌ Milou Mackenzie voted no on HB 2241. The bill would cut toxic waste from old batteries.

Build a Clean Energy Economy

Better windows and insulation cut power bills. Grid work and clean power projects also create skilled jobs. Our region should get both.

❌ Milou Mackenzie voted no on SB 831. The two-party carbon storage bill later became law.

Plan Growth Carefully

Growth should fit the town around it. New projects must protect streams and farms, while paying for the roads and pipes they need.
