| Collapse all
I’m the oldest of three siblings, raised by a hard-working single mother. I’m a graduate of Millersville University and I work as a Labor Administrator, overseeing Union contracts for a major national transportation company.
In the House, I’ll work to build a Pennsylvania that works for ALL of us, including affordable housing, single-payer healthcare, and fair funding for our public schools.- Affordable Housing: Quality housing that Lancaster County families can actually afford.
- Public Education: Fair funding for our public schools & lower property taxes for homeowners.
- Affordable & Accessible Healthcare: Bring single-payer healthcare to PA, lower insurance & prescription costs.
Incentivize developers to build more affordable housing units and mixed-income neighborhoods, expand programs to help homeowners such as Whole Home Repairs and PHARE, safeguard tenants' rights and stop unjust evictions.
Education:
I support correcting the funding disparity that currently allows Pennsylvania to pay 10% less into K-12 education than other states, ensuring that Lancaster County public schools get their fair share and reducing reliance on property taxes for homeowners.
Healthcare:
Transparency: Politicians must be sincere and clear. Constituents deserve to know that their hard-earned tax dollars are being used responsibly in ways that help real people here in Lancaster County.
Accountability: Politicians must be accessible to constituents, listen to their concerns, and be held accountable for their actions. I will hold regular town hall meetings and keep open communication channels.
Tenacity: I consider myself a resilient and determined person. Navigating the complexities of the legislative processes requires a steady approach and I am not easily rattled. Whether advocating for policy changes or tackling long-standing problems, my tenacious spirit ensures that I remain dedicated to the well-being of our district.
Courage is another crucial quality for a State Representative. The representative must boldly advocate for the best interests of constituents. This might involve supporting bills with uncertain outcomes to increase the visibility of crucial issues. Courage in representation means standing firm on what is right and ensuring the community's concerns are not just heard, but passionately championed.
Moreover, it builds a culture of mutual respect and understanding within the legislative body. This, in turn, enhances the overall functionality of the institution, creating a more conducive environment for collaboration and problem-solving.
Moreover, FDR's emphasis on unity and collaboration, both domestically and internationally, is something I aspire to incorporate into my own approach. In a diverse and dynamic political landscape, the ability to build consensus and work towards common goals is crucial for achieving meaningful and lasting change.
