Now, as a mother myself, I know the sacrifice it takes to work and raise a family. I also know that Harrisburg is not working for working people. Harrisburg should focus on what really matters to people in our community: jobs, schools, healthcare, and the needs of our growing families. Every school and every teacher in the district must have the resources they need to support our students. Every one of our neighbors should earn a family-sustaining wage, and every family should have access to affordable health care.
As a teacher, Chief of Staff to Representative Dan Miller, and as an advocate for early childhood education, I've spent my career fighting for children, seniors, and families in need. I have worked the system from the inside and the outside to produce results. Those experiences have prepared me to get the job done on day one.- I have built my campaign on fighting for issues facing working families - access to healthcare, raising the minimum wage that is currently a poverty wage, and affording quality childcare. All worker need paid sick leave and family leave. This is essential to care for aging parents, a sick spouse, or children.
- Harrisburg has completely failed to provide a plan to address COVID19. My plan would expand access to testing, support our local businesses, and provide PPE to frontline workers. As the wife of a frontline healthcare worker, I know the stresses and struggles that our essential workers are facing.
- As a former public school teacher, I have experienced educational inequity firsthand. In our current climate, it is essential that all schools have the resources to educate our children in safe environments. We must focus on whole child development - meaning social and emotional learning and physical development, are prioritized in addition to cognitive and academic gains.
