THE BRITTANY BLOAM RECORD / PA HOUSE DISTRICT 45
Brittany Bloam's record, backers and agenda show why James Julius is the district-first choice.
3 / HER AGENDA
HERE'S WHY.
DID YOU KNOW?FEDERAL, NOT STATE
DOES SHE KNOW WHAT OFFICE SHE IS RUNNING FOR?
Bloam's campaign emphasizes MAGA and ICE. State representatives do not vote in Congress or direct ICE.
DID YOU KNOW?SPORTS + RESTROOMS
DOES THAT REFLECT DISTRICT 45'S VALUES?
Her own answers support access based on gender identity rather than biological sex.
DID YOU KNOW?ABORTION
WOULD SHE SUPPORT ANY LIMITS ON ABORTION?
Bloam's materials describe her as “100% pro-choice, no matter what.”
DID YOU KNOW?STATE DATA + SPENDING
HOW SHOULD STATE SPENDING PRIORITIES BE SET?
Her questionnaire supports collecting sexual-orientation and gender-identity demographic data to guide financial-resource allocation. She says individual identities should remain confidential.
3 / WHAT HER VOTE WOULD ADVANCE
More state spending. A call for “new revenue streams”—and support for a package containing a new tax and higher fees. Boys in girls' sports and restrooms. Abortion expansion. A renewables-centered energy agenda that puts Western Pennsylvania jobs, reliable power, and affordable energy at risk.
The underlying positions come from Bloam's own published answers or the stated requirements of organizations that endorsed her. Open any card and see the record for yourself.
SPENDING + TAXES / THE GOVERNING PATTERN
THE RIDESHARE TAX IS THE RECEIPT. THE BROADER QUESTION IS HOW THE REST OF THE SPENDING AGENDA GETS PAID FOR.
ENERGY / THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA STAKES
A RENEWABLES-CENTERED POLICY THAT SIDELINES PENNSYLVANIA'S ABUNDANT RESOURCES PUTS WESTERN PA JOBS, RELIABILITY, AND AFFORDABILITY AT RISK.
PROGRESSIVE GENDER POLICY / HER SUBMITTED PRIORITIES
BLOAM'S ANSWERS · STONEWALL ENDORSED · VOTE MAMA REQUIREMENTS
ABORTION / HER POSITION + REQUIRED ENDORSEMENT TERMS
THE FINAL CHOICE / PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE DISTRICT 45
BORN HERE. RAISED HERE. RAISING HIS FAMILY HERE.
DOCUMENTED BACKGROUND
JAMES'S COMMITMENT
THE BRITTANY BLOAM RECORD / PA HOUSE DISTRICT 45
RECORD 05 / GENDER-IDENTITY AGENDA
Bloam's submitted answers establish a gender-identity agenda spanning school rules, access and affordability for treatment, public-plan behavioral-health coverage, youth-center funding, and state demographic data. The Stonewall endorsement, WESA reporting, and Vote Mama endorsement-rule and funding chain independently corroborate parts of that record.
In a questionnaire section expressly covering transgender citizens and youth, Bloam supported students using their preferred restrooms and joining the team aligned with their gender. She also supported banning school and sports sex-verification requirements.
Asked about gender-affirming treatment, Bloam said Pennsylvania should protect access and pass legislation making that treatment more affordable.
She said Medicaid-managed care and marketplace plans should cover gender-affirming behavioral-health services, maintain trans-affirming provider networks, and support peer, crisis, and provider-training programs.
She supported public funding for LGBTQ centers serving at-risk youth and a thorough sexual-orientation and gender-identity demographic database to guide financial-resource allocation. She said individual identities should remain confidential.
Steel City Stonewall published the questionnaire and lists Bloam as endorsed. WESA independently reported her school-teams, restroom, and sex-verification position.
A separate tether reaches the same care priority: Vote Mama says every endorsed candidate must support every pledge priority, including protection of gender-affirming care. It lists Bloam as endorsed, and her filing reports a $2,500 contribution.
The sources do not identify procedures, age thresholds, parental-consent rules, locker-room policy, or athletic-eligibility standards. Bloam's explicit insurance answer concerns behavioral-health services, not every medical procedure. She called for confidentiality in the SOGI data; it is not described as a public named-person registry. Her questionnaire says an informal campaign consultant helped complete it.
RECORD 05A / SCHOOLS
Bloam supports team and restroom access based on gender identity and a ban on invasive sex-verification requirements in school sports.
Bloam supports students using restrooms and competing on teams aligned with their gender identity.
She also supports banning invasive sex-verification requirements in school sports.
The cited answer does not state age bands, locker-room rules, privacy accommodations, athletic-eligibility standards, medical procedures, or any individual student's circumstances.
RECORD 06 / THE WASHINGTON-CENTERED CAMPAIGN
Bloam's campaign makes opposition to national MAGA politics and ICE a defining argument in a race for an office whose primary powers concern Pennsylvania law, spending, infrastructure, energy, public safety, and constituent service.
Bloam's campaign media presents opposition to 'dangerous MAGA extremism' and ICE as defining reasons to elect her to the Pennsylvania House.
A Pennsylvania state representative votes on state law and spending, including roads, schools, energy policy, public safety, and local services. The office does not vote in Congress or direct ICE.
Bloam opposed using state funding for what she called federal immigration overreach.
She said state police and state employees should operate without participating in federal actions that undermine trust.
In a July 28 interview she made the funding position categorical: as a state legislator, she said she would never vote to use state funding to support ICE and called current federal activity overreach.
Her campaign separately criticized an opponent over a county measure restricting most county cooperation with ICE.
Federal policy affects Pennsylvania, and state representatives may vote on state funding or cooperation with federal agencies. Bloam also publishes positions on affordability, infrastructure, education, and other state issues; the conclusion here concerns campaign emphasis, not the absence of all local priorities. This does not establish support for open borders, abolishing ICE, ignoring judicial warrants, or protecting violent offenders.
RECORD 07 / STATE DATA + SPENDING
Bloam supports collecting confidential sexual-orientation and gender-identity demographic information to guide the allocation of financial resources.
Bloam supports a thorough database of sexual-orientation and gender-identity demographic information to guide the allocation of financial resources.
She says individual identities should remain confidential.
The answer does not specify whether collection is voluntary, which fields are included, who holds the data, retention limits, security rules, or publication thresholds. It is not described as a public named-person registry.
RECORD 08 / ABORTION
Bloam is a strong advocate for abortion rights, and she accepted backing whose published conditions require protecting and expanding legal abortion and dismantling barriers. That points in the opposite direction from Kulik's stated position and repeated votes.
Bloam told WESA she strongly supported reproductive rights and opposed government involvement in the decision.
Her campaign priorities say it is vital to protect access to reproductive healthcare without interference.
Bloam accepted States Win support whose published conditions require protecting and expanding legal abortion and dismantling barriers.
Vote Mama separately requires abortion access as part of every endorsed candidate's complete pledge.
A pre-candidacy Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania annual report for 2020–21 lists 'Brittany Bloam' among acknowledged supporters. It does not publish an amount, tier, address, or other identifying detail.
The cited materials do not state a gestational limit, public-funding position, parental-involvement rule, specific procedure, or complete bill list. The Planned Parenthood report lists a matching name in the same region but provides no address or other identifier; it is supporting context, not the basis of the policy conclusion.
RECORD 09 / SPENDING + TAXES
Bloam pairs substantial spending commitments with a no-tax-increase promise. But when one funding need required revenue, she called for new revenue streams and backed a package with a new tax and two higher fees. That puts taxes and fees on the table as part of the broader governing approach.
Bloam's campaign priorities promise to address affordability without tax increases; an April 20 voter guide published the same position.
The same campaign priorities call for fully funding public schools, capping childcare costs while investing enough to support sustaining wages and benefits, funding public transit, modernizing infrastructure, supporting violence-prevention programs, and restoring direct community investment.
In a May 4 voter guide, Bloam said the state must play a larger role in school funding and that revenue should be reinvested in public education, infrastructure, childcare, and health care.
Asked how to fund transit, Bloam called for creating new revenue streams and endorsed Transit for All.
The package's official sponsors identify a new 6% ride-hail excise tax, a rental-car fee increase from $2 to $6.50, and a car-lease fee increase from 3% to 5%.
This record does not establish the total cost of Bloam's agenda, how she would finance every commitment, or that she would support an across-the-board tax increase. She did not separately name each Transit for All rate; those rates are attributed to the package's official sponsors. The evidence shows a documented willingness to support a new tax and higher fees for one priority, not the exact financing of every proposal.
RECORD 10 / ENERGY + WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
A resource supplying 59% of Pennsylvania's in-state electricity and a regionally concentrated employment sector cannot be treated as an afterthought. Bloam's renewables-centered public agenda leaves unanswered how jobs, reliable power, and affordability would be protected through the transition.
Pennsylvania is the nation's second-largest natural-gas producer. Natural gas generated 59% of the Commonwealth's in-state electricity in 2024.
Pennsylvania's official Southwest regional workforce plan counted 10,617 jobs in the combined Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector in 2024.
Bloam's public energy statements call for more wind and solar and a transition toward renewables. Her bylined article advocates enabling legislation, public funding, local-ordinance changes, and streamlined approvals specifically to expand solar development.
Bloam also said the transition must be slow and thoughtful and rejected simply pulling the plug on fossil fuels because doing so would have significant consequences.
No comparably detailed public plan from Bloam for Pennsylvania natural gas, nuclear power, or the workers connected to existing resources was identified in the accessible record reviewed here.
This record identifies policy risk and unanswered questions. It does not prove that Bloam opposes natural gas or nuclear power, that renewable development necessarily eliminates existing jobs, or that her policies certainly would raise utility rates or make the grid unreliable. The 10,617-job figure covers the broader combined mining, quarrying, and oil-and-gas-extraction category—not natural-gas jobs alone.
