My husband Ed and I reside in Doylestown Township and in September we will celebrate 39 years of marriage together. We are a very close-knit family and we enjoy creating lasting memories with our three wonderful adult children (37, 31 & 27) and their families whenever possible. I am blessed to have such a supportive family by my side as I begin this journey.
I’ve worked as a district manager for the past 10 years under both State Representative's Shelby Labs and Marguerite Quinn, both serving the 143rd legislative district so I have the experience and insight needed to win this seat. I have worked closely with Harrisburg staff, government officials, school districts, business leaders and thousands of area residents. I know the issues and concerns that matter to our community and I want to utilize my experience, knowledge and contacts to help the constituents of this district. In addition to working for the Commonwealth, for the past 19 years I have been a successful Realtor with Class Harlan Real Estate in Doylestown.
You have my promise that I will work hard, be a breath of fresh air, be accessible, approachable and I will exceed your expectations!- The constituents in this district are bearing the weight of soaring inflation, rising gas and food prices, and an economy that isn't working for everyone. Many people are struggling daily and I believe that we must pursue policies that will alleviate these hardships and in turn lead to a better economy, growing wages, expanded access to affordable healthcare, and drive down the cost of living for this beautiful community we are live in.
- I will work hard to support small businesses and farmers in the district, protect your hard earned tax dollars, improve our local infrastructure and foster greater educational opportunities including trade schools.
- I am committed to working hard for the 29th District! I will accountable, accessible and approachable and I will exceed expectations! YOU HAVE MY PROIMISE!!
