I am a lifelong resident of my District, attending grade school at Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parishes. I attended high school at St. Maria Goretti, and also graduated with a B.A. from LaSalle University, all within Philadelphia. I have been a long-time advocate for our community. I currently serve as a committee person for the 1st Ward, 17th district. I just won re-election for this position as well. I love my neighborhood but I am saddened by what it is becoming. I would like to have the opportunity to introduce and vote on bills that would represent the interests of the good, hardworking people of South Philadelphia, especially on issues such as education, improving our economy, and fighting crime.
- What I feel is the most important topic in our area right now is the rising crime. I am against injection sites in the 184th district or anywhere in the city of Philadelphia. There are more efficient ways to help people fighting addiction other than enabling, and bringing more illegality to our area. I am pro law enforcement, pro firefighters, pro first responders, and believe that our firemen and police officers are the everyday heroes of our city. When elected, I plan of fighting for the rights of these brave men and women. They deserve the best representation, as they put their lives on the line for us everyday.
- Education is very important to me. So much so that as a full-time working mother, I decided to go back to school to obtain a Masters in Business Association (MBA). My son also attends a Philadelphia Public Charter School, so I know how important education is for our children whether Public, Charter, or Private. I will always advocate for our children to make sure our schools are safe, clean, and have all the resources they need.
- I plan on using my education to help improve the business climate in South Philadelphia and statewide. I will fight to attract family sustaining jobs here to our community. This will also help to get the economy back on track following the pandemics devastating impact. Our area in the 184th is a very important one that contains some of Philadelphia’s Ports, the business districts of Passyunk Avenue and The Navy Yard, and the Stadium Areas. I will fight for common sense legislation such as lower taxes and less government interference and mandates on our businesses. I am concerned about rising inflation, and the high cost that is being put on our business owners.
