My Values & Vision: “As a father, a business leader, and an involved member of this community, I am running to protect our children's rights so that our daughters can have the same rights their mothers and grandmothers had, to enact realistic measures to keep our families safe, and to ensure our district remains a place where hard work is rewarded and communities thrive, regardless of skin color, accent, or political affiliation. The future of Pennsylvania starts in our own backyard—and I am ready to serve.”
(Campaign website) Level-Headed Discourse: “To live in a truly purple district and to be surrounded by folks on both sides of the aisle, it is evident that most of us see eye-to-eye on most things, albeit with some very basic fundamental differences. I still think that there is hope to bring some level of civility back to the socio-political landscape, and there’s no better place to start that than at the local level. We need a representative who will work to bring everyone together, while simultaneously speaking up against blatant injustice when it impacts our community.”
(Campaign website) Accountable Leadership: “Restoring trust requires accountability. Leaders must be willing to speak up when our community is affected—whether it’s addressing ICE raids in our own backyard, responding to threats against local officials, or ensuring that all residents feel protected and respected. We need a representative who brings people together while also standing firm against injustice when it impacts our district. My goal is to serve this community with honesty, steadiness, and a commitment to listening—because that’s how we move forward together.”
(Campaign website) Housing: “In our current day and age, it feels like things have flown off the rails. It's time to reintroduce common sense and practicality back into politics. Let's work together to find the obvious solutions to problems that we all face on both sides of the aisle.”

(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) Priorities & campaign themes: “I will put people over politics. I will always put the best interests of the people I serve first. It is key to be accessible and listen to the residents from all parties. Elected officials should always be willing to work across party lines to deliver tangible results to their communities -- something I have done as a township commissioner.”
