I live in Camp Hill with my wife Marsha and sons Jimmy and Michael. I am a Democratic candidate for State Representative in Pennsylvania's 87th Legislative District.
In short, I am a husband, father, professional and involved community citizen ready to work for you!- A tragedy like Sandy Hook should have been a wake up call. My oldest son was the same age as those children when that devastating incident took place. My youngest was 5 when the horrific shooting in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School happened. Mass shootings, school shootings, church and synagogue shootings and overall firearm fatalities keep climbing while our quiescent pro-NRA legislature refuses to act. Enough is enough. We need common sense reforms to our gun laws for firearm violence prevention now.
- The planet is in the midst of a climate emergency. One day in the not so distant future our children and grandchildren will look to us say "You knew what was happening. What did you do to stop it?" Denying science is not an option that I will entertain. Instead, I pledge to prioritize the health of our families, the climate, and our environment over any profits from the fossil fuels industry. When elected, I will work toward a clean energy economic overhaul with attendant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It is important that state and local governments come together to strengthen our resolve to meet regional goals to reduce carbon pollution. We have less than ten years to meaningfully act on climate change. The time to act was years a
- Our schools are struggling. Republican lawmakers are on a mission to gut our public schools, causing layoffs, programs closings and overcrowded classrooms. Every time your state legislator votes to cut public school funding, he or she essentially votes to raise your local taxes. Shifting the burden from the wealthy and corporations on to the backs of those who can least afford it. This is the corrupt legacy of Republicans stealing from our future to make their rich donors richer. It ends now.
