Cecilia Weaver

Cecilia has demonstrated her care for the community and determination, and is an experienced leader that other candidates should be wary of.  She serves as Co-President of both Methacton's She's the First club and Methacton's Tri-M Music Honor Society chapter, illustrating her dedication to service by promoting education for underprivileged women and leading service projects. Outside of school, she enjoys volunteering for the National Charity League Valley Forge Chapter and serves as the Vice President of Philanthropy. As a member of the chapter, she has volunteered for Cradles to Crayons, Habitat for Humanity, the Special Olympics, and many more organizations. Cecilia has received the Girl Scout Gold Award and Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award for her service to the community. 

 

Her campaign is focused primarily on education, economic reform, equality - the 4 E’s people are calling it - as well as national security. Her plan for the environment is “implementing a carbon tax on companies equal to the social cost of carbon, creating a Climate Action Fund that supports environmentally friendly infrastructure and that assists regions facing negative effects from extreme weather events related to climate change, and creating of an international carbon market to decentralize costs”. While this does seem promising, we hope to hear a more detailed plan and get an idea of where this money is going to come from, during the debates. Some of her more "out there" policies  include raising the top marginal tax rate to 50%, abolishing the Electoral College and implementing Ranked-Choice Voting, and holding military contractors to zero-emissions standards by 2030. 

 

Cecilia is supported by her skilled team including Campaign Manager Karen Li, Political Advisor Annie Zhang, and Communications Director Alexa Lawrie.
