Decision Makers: PA Rep. Darisha Parker On Negotiating With Members On The Other Side Of The Aisle

PA State Rep. Darisha Parker is Vice Chair of the PA Black Caucus and representing the 198th District in the Keystone State, which includes parts of Philadelphia. We ask: How do you negotiate or interact with those on the other side of the aisle, especially in politically cantankerous times like these? What did budget negotiations in the House look like, especially considering cuts to federal programs like healthcare and other assistance programs? How does it impact the state and especially constituents in district like yours?
