| Collapse all
Knowing government dysfunction was not limited to her industry, Carmela dedicated herself to serving her country in the political sphere. Following the example of our Nation’s founders, she first became familiar with the works which inspired America’s Constitutional Republic completing her bachelor’s degree in biblical studies at Lancaster Bible College.
With the support of her husband Michael, Carmela left her private sector career to accept a full scholarship to Villanova Law School. Since graduation and admission to the Pennsylvania Bar, Carmela has forgone a career choosing instead to volunteer countless hours serving her community in the political arena. From helping service minded grass roots candidates, to advocating for first amendment protections, transparency in public-school districts, election integrity, and open space preservation, Carmela is standing against government dysfunction.
- Drain the Swamp. As your representative, Carmela will work to stop career politicians through term limits, eliminating automatic pay increases, perks, pension, and lifetime health benefits.
- Cut Taxes. Carmela will vote to cut state government spending and taxes, slashing state government bureaucracy.
- School Choice. Parents have the right to direct their child’s education and Carmela will work to have tax dollars follow students.
