“Pennsylvania families are getting squeezed by taxes, housing costs, groceries, and utilities. My #1 focus is making life in Pennsylvania more affordable—so working people can get ahead, not just get by.”
(Campaign website) “Harrisburg has to start treating taxpayer dollars like they matter. That means cutting programs that don’t deliver results—like the $250 million spent on horse racing subsidies—and rooting out other examples of waste so we can prioritize what actually helps residents.”
(Campaign website) “Government should be a tool that serves you, not a barrier you have to fight through. I’ll focus on simpler processes, less red tape, and real transparency—so you can see what’s happening, why it’s happening, and who it’s helping.”
(Campaign website)What’s with the goose?: “Puddles is our campaign mascot because he’s a reminder of who we are in the Valley and what we can become when we move together. He’s rooted in our local Goose Day tradition and represents the power of a united flock working toward real change.”

That’s why I will continue to be an advocate for our community and the conservative values we hold dear.”
