Expand all | Collapse all

I graduated from the University of Mary Washington with degrees in Economics and Business Administration. For over 26 years, I have filled various roles in the fields of accounting and consulting. I currently serve as Vice-President on the Greencastle-Antrim School Board and the Treasurer of Franklin County Republican Committee.

I am a Republican and believe in upholding traditional conservative values and I am an Eagle Scout with Troop 304.

Service to others is not just a choice, it is a responsibility. Our Commonwealth is facing a growing budget deficit, increased regulation, and constant attacks on our conservative values. Your concerns are my concerns, and I want to ensure the voices of District 90 are being heard in Harrisburg. With an active presence and tireless work ethic, I am running to build a brighter future, while preserving the strong history and culture of our community.
  • I believe that educational funding is an issue that Pennsylvania is facing. We continue to spend money and we aren’t seeing a return on our investment. I believe that more accountability for the way in which the money is spent in these districts is more apt to correct our current lackluster education system.
  • Another issue that we are facing in Franklin County is the concern about preserving our agricultural heritage. We are one of the fastest growing counties in the nation and everyday it seems that the beautiful farmland we are used to seeing in our travels is dwindling. Our farmers are fighting for their livelihoods and Harrisburg needs to stop making their fight more challenging with unpredictable and unsustainable regulations.
  • Lastly, I believe Harrisburg is being financially irresponsible. There are entirely too many unfunded liabilities that will end up being pulled out of the taxpayer’s wallets. We need to elect representatives that are fiscally responsible and understand how finances work. I have the work experience and the knowledge to advocate for sustainable and responsible spending so we can work to remove the financial burden these unfunded liabilities place on the people of District 90.
• The Economy- Streamlined Budget Process, Determine Ways to Fund the Pension Liability, Welfare Work Requirements Reform

• Education- Modernizing the Education System & School Choice
• Youth Services- Work to streamline the foster care and adoption processes
• Veterans’ Affairs- Addressing Isolation, Suicide & Mental Health Issues

• Agriculture- Predictability & Reasonableness of Regulations, Preserve Farmland & Property Owner’s Rights
The person I admire most is my father. He was a man of integrity, faith, honor and strength. He was the first Black Town of Tappahannock Police Officer. He served in that capacity during times of severe racial tension and was respected by everyone for his exemplary service.

I can only hope to continue on his legacy of public service and integrity as I embark on this journey to become PA State House Representative in the 90th District.
Honesty, integrity, humility, willingness to listen and communicate, and availability. As elected officials we need to remember that we work for the people. They have entrusted us with their votes, concerns and livelihoods and we need to be good stewards of their faith in our ability to perform the duties to which we were elected. I will be transparent and forthcoming with all of my constituents. I will explain my votes, my reasoning and let the people of District 90 know what is going on in Harrisburg, as it relates to them. I will have an open-door policy so that any member of my District can come into my office to express issues and concerns that they are facing. I want everyone to feel secure in the fact that they will be heard and addressed in a professional and helpful manner.
I have been gifted with the ability to communicate effectively with anyone that I encounter. I listen with the intention of gathering information from whomever I am speaking to so that they feel heard and understood when our conversations are complete. Communication is a lost art in this digital age and I revel in the times that I have been able to speak with people while door knocking for the campaign. There are so many individuals in this world who are just looking for someone with a listening ear who makes them important.
The core responsibility of someone elected to this office is to listen and communicate with the constituents to make sure that I am doing their will when I am in Harrisburg.
The relationship should be one of communication, collaboration and understanding.
Uncontrolled spending and the Unfunded Pension Liability are most certainly two of my concerns for the Commonwealth over the next decade.
I believe that we are inundated with people in government that have become politicians and have forgotten who it is they represent. Having an understanding of how government works doesn't require one to have served in government previously. Career politicians are not what the founders had in mind when they were creating this country.
It is imperative that you build positive relationships with other legislators. One person can't get anything done by themselves. Cultivating relationships with other members whose constituents have similar interests to your own can only benefit the people you represent.
No I am not. Any person that runs for an elected office, with the intention of using it to gain access to another office is disingenuous and not looking to serve the people.
Yes. We cannot give one branch of government total control. There needs to be checks and balances as laid out by our founding fathers.
I would introduce a bill that would create more transparency and accountability for school funding. We need to see where all the money is going and how it is being utilized by each district so that we can enhance the efficiency of education in the Commonwealth.
PA FREEDOM CAUCUS
Appropriations, Judiciary, Children & Youth, & Veterans Affairs
With my 27 years of experience in finance and accounting I believe that financial transparency and government accountability are crucial to a functioning legislature. We owe it to the people to show them where their money is being spent. For far too long now, big government has been writing themselves a blank check and expecting the taxpayers to cash it. I will work diligently to pivot from the current course and get us back to a financially stable and responsible position.
