Taxes & budget: “First elected as our State Representative in 2020, Milou came to Harrisburg with a different perspective: one of a well-known local business person, former public and private school teacher, mom, and taxpayer. That's a perspective she has used to focus on issues that affect all our families - and to work for commonsense solutions to the issues we face.” (Campaign website)
