Meet Lisa

A career of caring.
Ready to lead.

Lisa Gourley didn't learn about healthcare from a textbook. She learned it at the bedside, fighting for patients every single day for over 30 years. She rose from registered nurse to Vice President of Clinical Reimbursement, taking on insurance companies and hospital bureaucracies that put profits over patients.

Now she's bringing that same fight to Harrisburg. Affordable healthcare. Fully funded schools. A fair economy. That's what Jefferson and Indiana counties deserve.

His record. Your call.

Election Denier Silent on Hospital Closures Anti-Trans Anti-Choice

Punxsutawney Area Hospital is fighting to stay open. One in four rural PA hospitals are at risk of closure. Medicaid reimburses rural hospitals just 74 cents for every dollar of care. Smith's response? Host hearings about "benefit fraud" and call Medicaid "a handout." This is his record.

Your mom gets cancer. Your kid breaks a leg. You need time off. Smith helped table this bill so it would never get a vote.

Zero Bills
Healthcare & Hospitals
47 PA hospitals depend on Medicaid to keep the lights on. Rural hospitals get 74 cents back for every dollar of care. Smith filed zero bills to help. Instead, he hosted hearings targeting Medicaid recipients.

The record on Brian Smith

A public resource on the voting record and public statements of the three-term Republican incumbent in House District 66.

NOTICE: The following is publicly available information compiled and published by Friends of Lisa Gourley and made freely available to the public. It consists of public voting records, public statements, and press releases issued by the named official.
RB-01 · Sunday Hunting
SUBJECT: Rep. Brian Smith (R) · PA House District 66
The Record
  • On HB 1431, the Sunday hunting bill, Smith filed two amendments, A00932 and A00958, that would have narrowed the bill.
  • Both amendments failed on the floor, 101 to 102.
  • The bill itself then passed the House 142 to 61, and Governor Shapiro signed it as Act 36.
Suggested Message

Sunday hunting passed 142 to 61. Brian Smith spent his energy trying to water it down.

In a district full of hunters, our representative worked against the bill his own neighbors wanted.

Sources
  1. Pennsylvania House amendment roll calls, HB 1431, A00932 and A00958, each failed 101-102.
  2. Pennsylvania House roll call, HB 1431, final passage 142-61. Enacted as Act 36.
RB-02 · Priorities in Harrisburg
SUBJECT: Rep. Brian Smith (R) · PA House District 66
The Record
  • On January 7, 2026, Smith launched a campaign titled “Defending Our Daughters: Make the Promise.”
  • On October 30, 2024, Smith issued a press release questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election.
  • On September 11, 2025, Smith issued a public statement on Charlie Kirk.
Suggested Message

Punxsutawney Area Hospital is at risk. Wages have not moved since 2009. Brian Smith spent January launching a culture war campaign.

HD-66 needs a representative focused on this district, not on national politics.
