Expand all | Collapse all

I am a parent, a spouse, and a public servant focused on making government work better for everyday people. I grew up in a working-class family and learned early what it means to work hard, make sacrifices, and look out for one another. Those experiences shaped how I see leadership. I believe leadership is about listening, being honest, and solving real problems that affect real people.

In 2023, I was elected as Dauphin County Commissioner as part of a historic victory that flipped the county blue for the first time in more than 100 years. That win showed what is possible when people feel heard and when campaigns are built on trust, community, and showing up. I am bringing that same approach to my run for Congress, and I am ready to flip Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District blue as well. I currently serve as Dauphin County Commissioner, where my focus has been on prison reform, improving accountability and transparency, and making sure essential services actually function the way they should. Outside of my role in government, I am a spouse to a public school teacher and a parent to three kids in public schools. That keeps me grounded and reminds me every day that the choices made in government have real consequences.

I believe leadership means showing up, doing the work, and building change alongside the people you represent. I am focused on earning trust through accountability, consistency, and a commitment to serving people, not special interests.
  • Fix the system! The system is not broken by accident. It has been shaped to benefit insiders, corporate PACs, and powerful interests, often leaving everyday people feeling unheard and shut out. I believe government should serve the public, not those with the most money or access. That starts with transparency, accountability, and leaders willing to challenge what is not working. One step toward restoring trust is banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office. It will not fix everything, but it is a meaningful place to start as we work to curb the influence of money in politics and rebuild confidence in government.
  • Hard work should pay off! I believe hard work should pay off because I grew up seeing it firsthand. I was raised on a farm, where long days, early mornings, and physical labor were part of everyday life. That experience taught me responsibility, perseverance, and the value of showing up. Too many people today are working hard and still falling behind as costs rise and opportunity feels out of reach. Government should not make life harder for people who are doing their part. My focus is on building systems that respect work, support families, and create real opportunity so effort is rewarded.
  • Courage to build! Our country has moved forward in the past when leaders were willing to build something new for the common good. I believe this moment calls for the same kind of courage and imagination. Caring for our neighbors should be at the center of our politics, because strong communities depend on shared responsibility and dignity. That is why I support a Medicare for All solution to our healthcare crisis. No one should face financial ruin simply because they get sick, yet medical debt remains the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. Building what comes next requires a new generation of leadership that is invested in the future we are shaping and committed to seeing the work through.
I am passionate about policies that make everyday life more stable, fair, and affordable for working families while protecting the democratic foundations our country depends on. That includes strong public education, because schools are central to opportunity, and healthcare, because no one should face financial ruin simply because they get sick. I care deeply about economic policies that ensure hard work pays off, shaped by my working-class upbringing. I am also committed to accountability, ethics, and transparency in government, and to protecting the Constitution by ensuring due process is respected, individual rights are upheld, and the three branches of government remain independent and able to check one another.
I am a Vote Common Good candidate. Additional endorsements are currently in process, and I am actively participating in application and interview processes with a range of organizations.
