Previously a business banker, Lindsay felt called to change career paths and a desire to give back to the community and advocate for others after experiencing personal tragedy through the loss of her younger sister in 2008 and the becoming a mother in 2010. Now self-employed, Lindsay provides marketing/consulting services to small businesses and non-profit organizations but devotes significant time to advocacy and service of others through volunteer work and public service as a Derry Township School Board Director. Lindsay also is the founder of a 501c3 organization created in memory of her sister which provides educational scholarships and grants to community organizations.
Lindsay's efforts have been recognized through honors such as Central Pennsylvania's 40 under 40, Top 25 Women of Influence - Community Achievement Award, Non-Profit Innovation Award Excellence in Leadership finalist, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Woman of the Year and All-Star of the Year in Central PA, and the Multiple Sclerosis Society's Leadership Award.
Lindsay resides in Derry Township (Hershey), PA with her 10-year-old son and two dogs.
- I am running because I believe the majority of residents feel unheard and that their voice has been forgotten. Everyone deserves to be represented by leaders who are genuinely focused on and committed to lawmaking that is reflective of the needs of their district.
- I'm running because I have lived my life with a passion for service and helping others with the belief that actions always speak louder than words. I have a proven track record of action, advocacy, and a commitment to service above self in an authentic and trustworthy way to back up my words.
- I'm running because I genuinely believe that the number of things that unite us are greater than what divides us and Harrisburg needs lawmakers who will be willing to listen and then roll up their sleeves to craft meaningful policy that successfully move through the chambers.
I am passionate about access to affordable healthcare, controlling prescription drug costs, women's reproductive rights, and expanding access to mental health services to combat the mental health crisis we are facing while also normalizing conversation about mental illness and removing the stigma for future generations.
A woman explained to me that she has been trying to rise out of poverty for nearly two decades and has been unsuccessful, not for lack of effort, but because of barriers, unnecessary restrictions, and the cycle repeating on her now-adult daughter.
