She intends to create an environment that brings people together and does not engage in divisive causes. She will fight for opportunity for all members of District 4 as a unifying voice in Harrisburg.

By securing affordable and accessible broadband, potential for growth can be imagined. Through broadband access, Chelsea is able to then focus on preparing our students for the future, developing our workforce and attracting talent, and providing healthcare and mental health resources. Each of these areas rely on being able to provide high-speed Internet throughout the district, something that Chelsea is extremely passionate about and has been working towards through her involvement with Impact Corry, Corry City Council, and the Corry Higher Education Council.
