| Collapse all
In 2010, I ran for School Board and won. I later served as Vice President of the Board which led the way on creating one of the area’s first full day kindergarten programs. I worked with my colleagues to find common sense solutions to the complex challenges facing our schools, unafraid to buck the status quo.
I later ran for Township Commissioner. I joined a Board deadlocked in partisan politics but was elected President and led a Republican majority Board during my first year. Together, we found a way to make progress. We secured critical investments for the for the public library, increase police funding, pave township roads, improve stormwater management, and passed four balanced budgets.
This community has been my home my entire life. It’s where I grew up, settled down, and raised my family. I am running for office to serve my community, because the people of Edgmont, Newtown, Middletown, and Radnor deserve a Representative who will always show up and stand up for them.- Public education is why I got involved in politics, and it will always be a top priority as State Representative. As a former Vice President of the Radnor Township School District and a parent of two public school graduates, I will continue to work with my colleagues in the legislature to enhance and support public education and hold the state accountable when it comes to funding to shift the burden off or the property owners. It is time for the state to fulfill its responsibility to ensure our future leaders are getting all they need to be successful. We need to support teachers and staff, create a pipeline for new teachers, address student mental health concerns by adding appropriate staff, and improve school facilities.
- Supporting our first responders. As a township commissioner I saw first-hand the challenges our first responders face as they seek to serve their communities. Fire and EMS across the state are particularly stressed as they lose volunteers and communities are faced with tough budget decisions to maintain these services. As a state, we need to be doing more to support and developing a long-term plan to address these issues or communities will be left without reliable emergency services. We also need to increase recruitment of police officers and ensure they have the tools they need to protect and serve.
- I am a proud pro-choice candidate who will always stand up for a person’s right to make their own healthcare decisions. Having spent most of my career in healthcare, I deeply value the doctor-patient relationship. No matter one’s personal views on abortion, I believes that choice should remain between a person and their doctor – there’s no place for politicians interfering. With states now on the frontlines of protecting abortion access, I will be a strong advocate in Harrisburg.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
