While most Democrats across Pennsylvania lost ground, we gained 8.5 points. Fern earned more votes in this district than any Democrat since the seat was lost in 2012 and became the only Democrat to win precincts here since then. >

Let's be clear about what's happening: working families in Pennsylvania are being handed the bill for massive AI data centers they never asked for and will never benefit from. 😤 >

We are honored that Fern Leard has earned the endorsement of the Working Families Party 💙 The Working Family Party is an organization grounded in values that uplift working people, and Fern is in the company of leaders like Summer Lee and Malcolm Kenyatta. >

I didn't get here with family connections or a rolodex full of donors. I got here the same way most people in NEPA get anywhere… by showing up and doing the work. 💪 That's exactly how I'll operate in Harrisburg. No corporate PAC money, no backdoor deals, no nonsense. >

We're in the final stretch before May 19th and every dollar counts. 💙 This campaign runs on support from neighbors just like you, no corporate PACs, no strings attached. If you believe NEPA deserves a real fighter in Harrisburg, chip in today and help us get there.

We’re honored that Fern has earned the endorsement of the Center for Freethought Equality 💙 The Center for Freethought Equality is a national organization that supports candidates who stand for civil liberties, secular government, and people-first, evidence-based policy. >

Here's something most people in District 120 already know but Harrisburg keeps ignoring: our property taxes are sky high in large part because the state isn't holding up its end of the bargain on school funding. 😤 >

We’re honored that Fern has earned the endorsement of PA Stands Up💙 PA Stands Up is a grassroots organization building power for working people across Pennsylvania. >

NEPA native. Mom of twins. Over a decade fighting for healthcare access for people who needed it most. 💙 I'm not running because it looked like a good opportunity. I'm running because working families in District 120 deserve someone in Harrisburg who actually knows their life. >

Meatball doesn't ask for much. Usually just treats and ear scratches. 🐾 But today she's got one request: please register to vote before the May 4th deadline so you can vote in our May 19th primary. Don't let Meatball down. She's been a very good girl and she deserves this. 🐶

Fern has been fighting for women’s rights for decades, not when it was easy, but when it mattered. Whether it was popular or not, whether she had establishment backing or stood on her own, she showed up. Sometimes she stood alone, sometimes alongside others, but she never backed down. >

We’re honored that Fern has earned the endorsement of Vote Mama 💙 Vote Mama supports mothers who are candidates that understand what it means to balance family, work, and community, and who are fighting to make it easier for others to do the same. That’s exactly who Fern is. >

Ready to do something? We've got the perfect opportunity. 💪 Join us for our Weekend of Action on May 2nd and 3rd! We're hitting the ground hard in the final stretch before our May 19th primary and we need all hands on deck. >

I graduated high school with honors and went straight to work. 💙 Washed dishes. Waited tables. Tended bar. Became a mom and an advocate for the Lymphedema Treatment Act. Eventually built a career in finance — not because anything was handed to me, but because I worked for every inch of it. >

The rest of the country is waking up to what we've been saying all along. 👀 Big tech can't just roll into communities, drain the water, jack up the electric bill, and call it progress. People are pushing back — and we're proud to be part of that fight right here in NEPA.

No more performative nonsense. No more politicians who show up at election time and disappear when the hard votes happen. 😤 >

⚠️ Working-class friends take note! ⚠️ We want to be straight with you about something: this campaign is 100% people-powered. 💙 >

Over the years, Fern has proudly volunteered with Junior Achievement, helping students build real-world skills and feel more confident about their future. She believes in giving her time in ways that can quietly open doors and create meaningful opportunities for the next generation.

Here's exactly what we're going to do when we get to Harrisburg: Ban utility companies from passing infrastructure and capacity costs from AI data centers onto your bill. Full stop. >

People in District 120 shouldn't have to lie awake at night wondering if they can afford to stay in the home they've lived in for decades. 😤 >

🌱 Spring into action with Team Fern! We’re out knocking doors, meeting our neighbors, and bringing some real energy to our community. Join us for our Day of Action on May 2nd and 3rd! We’re meeting up at Old Man John’s, and it’s gonna be a great time. You’ll meet an awesome crew,

One month friends ⏰ We’re officially under one month from our primary election day. If we want to send someone to Harrisburg who actually fights for working people instead of corporations and donors, it starts right here in District 120. >

May 19th is primary day. May 4th is your last chance to register. 🗳 That's less than 2 weeks—if you miss it, you're sitting this one out. We're fighting to put people over profit. We need you in this fight. Get registered, get ready, and let's go. votefern4pa.com/take-action/

Want to rep the movement? 👕 Hats, shirts, sweatshirts, totes — we've got you covered. Every piece you rock is a conversation starter and a signal that NEPA is ready for a change. >

Very lucky to be able to hang out during record store day. It was great meeting so many of you and to see some great music at Gallery of Sound. Fern accepts zero corporate donations, so supporting local business, talking directly to neighbors, and registering people to vote are important to her.

Ever since Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, unlimited money has flooded our elections. Fern is against it. Plain and simple. Because when billionaires and corporate PACs can spend whatever they want, they don’t just outspend candidates, they shape what voters see, hear, and believe.

Weekend of Action with Fern | Door Knocking May 2nd & 3rd We need volunteers now. Sign up for a shift to hit doors for our Weekend of Action and connect with voters across the district. This is a critical moment and we need all hands on deck. Sign up: mobilize.us/s/LEcqol >

You want to know who funds this campaign? Look in the mirror. 👀 We take zero corporate PAC money. Not because it's a cute talking point — because we actually mean it when we say we work for you, not them. >

Pennsylvanians know better than most how this story goes. Corporations come in, extract everything they can from our land and our people, and then leave us holding the bag. Our grandparents saw it with coal. Now we're watching it happen all over again with AI data centers. >

🚨 This is exactly the kind of inside politics people are tired of. When a sitting Dallas Township supervisor starts pushing for a new paid administrative position, people have every right to ask questions. Who benefits? Why now? >

🎶 Record Store Day is almost here and we’re so excited to be part of it! Join us at Gallery of Sound where Fern will have a merch table set up all day. We’ll also be doing a giveaway and a raffle, so make sure you stop by, hang out, and take your shot at winning something good. >

Fridays with Fern are back! Today I was joined by Rylie. We made a lemon pound cake and talked affordability, accessibility and priorities. Stay tuned for future episodes!

🐣 From my family to yours, Happy Easter. Started the morning in the best way, with my boys, their annual chocolate bunnies and Peeps (made right here in Pennsylvania)! Ran into the Easter Bunny at the Idetown Firehall, too. Hope everyone is making happy memories with the people they love today. 💛

🔥 Families are already stretched thin. UGI wants to raise gas rates again, pushing people from getting by to falling behind. 💔 With one gas provider, higher rates mean choosing between heat, groceries, or medicine. ✊ Fern Leard is fighting back for working families. #NEPA #PA #Democrats

🚨 This account has been hijacked by Team Fern. 🎬 We were told to delete the outtakes. We did not follow instructions. 🎞️ So today, you’re getting the footage we were definitely not supposed to post. Happy April Fool’s Day 😄#fernleard #bloopers #pennsylvania

💙 Happy National Sons Day 💙 Going through old photos today and found this one. I can’t believe they were ever this small. Time moves so fast. I miss the little years sometimes, but I’m so proud of the young men they’re becoming. No matter how big they get, they’ll always be my boys. 💙

secure.actblue.com/donate/fern4... ✨ Grassroots. Local. People powered. ✨ I’m Fern Leard, running for PA State House so our community, not corporate money, has a real voice in Harrisburg. Chip in if you can. Every dollar helps us fight for our future. 💙

I spent some truly valuable time with my family today, and it was a beautiful reminder of what matters most. I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day filled with love, connection, and a little extra kindness. ❤️

Stopping at Old Man John’s is always a great decision, and I appreciate being able to pick up a tasty warm beverage such a cold winter day! #SupportLocalBusiness #Community #Chai #SundayFunDay #OldManJohns
