I grew up in the Germantown section of Philadelphia in the house I now own, amongst the community I love and believe in. I was raised by my grandmother, a beautiful mentor that lovingly stepped up, in place of my young parents overwhelmed by the harmful effects of incarceration and addiction. It was after the death of my grandmother that I committed myself to provide and secure a brighter future for my younger brother. I have seen this community decline over my lifetime. The experiences that I, my parents and my grandmother have had are not unique to us as many of our community members have gone through similar ordeals. I know what it means to live below the national poverty income level, 33% of my zip code does as well. I am running for office to lift poor black folks out of poverty. I am running to bring resources and opportunities back to my community. Path's to re-entry, Healthcare & Education are human rights, I am running to make that a reality for the people of Pennsylvania.
  • I am a criminal justice reform activist who fights daily to end the school to prison pipeline. We invest 42k per inmate and less than 18 k per student. In Harrisburg, I will be fighting to decrease prison funding, and ensure that all of our education funding goes through the fair funding formula.
  • I am the product of the war on poverty and the war on drugs. I have been homeless and will be fighting to ensure everyone has access to housing. I lost my grandmother to cancer, and will be fighting for access for everyone regardless of income or employment status. My experiences inform my platform and what I'm fighting for.
  • We can not continue to invest in political dynasties. All too often people are handed seats because they have some preexisting relationship and this allows them to evade accountability. I am running as a community member who is wants to see my community invested in.
Criminal justice reform. We must put an end to mass incarceration in this state and in this country. Pennsylvania has the highest number of Juvenile lifers, which means we have the largest number of individuals sentenced to life when they were minors. The great majority of these individuals are from Philadelphia, where there is a war on poverty and people of color. We need to invest in education, and people not jails and prisons.

Healthcare. Because of a lack of access to quality healthcare, my grandmother passed away. This is a reality for so many Pennsylvanians, who struggle to find access to affordable healthcare. During my time working to connect seniors with healthcare, I got to see first hand some of the inequities that are faced by our most vulnerable seniors. Healthcare should not be tied to income level or employment status, because healthcare is a human right.

Education. We spend 42k per inmate, and less than 18k per student here in Pennsylvania, and this is unacceptable. . We cannot continue to send our children to dilapidated schools with mold and asbestos, all while we are navigating a global pandemic. These conditions are very similar to the conditions I faced when I was in school. Water from the fountains was undrinkable and the quality of the cooling and heating units were poor. No student should have to face this, we need to invest in our children.
My grandmother was a single parent to me in my childhood. She is the center of everything I do. My grandmother has always been a woman of her word and been the the one people depend on. She showed me with actions how to be a resource for others.
I was in 5th grade when our country was attacked by terrorism. It was the second day of the school year and I was 10 years old.
My first job, I was a server at Olive Garden for 3 years.
I lost my grandmother at the age of 18, which was in my senior year of high school and losing the woman that raised me while I was so young was really hard.
Progress is best when there is a coalition. Working with other legislators and building the relationship is beneficial to advance and help with the piece of legislation you introduce. Also building relationships with legislators in states that have been successful in the area you would like to improve is a great way to be able to bring the same success to your state.
I believe there should be a committee of non-elects drawing the maps. We best way for a process to be non-bias is to have people that wouldn't benefit from the outcome.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Pennsylvania

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states.  To contribute to the list of Pennsylvania scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
