Meet Arvind: “I’m running because I’ve served our community through crises big and small, and now I want to continue to bring that experience to Harrisburg and help Pennsylvania move forward.”
(Campaign website) Housing: “My life has always been focused on family, service, and community. My parents immigrated to the United States, and I saw how hard they worked to build a good life for our family. It was this ethic of hard work and commitment to service that inspired me to become a physician.”
(Campaign website) Health care: “As an ER doc, I care for any patient that comes through the doors of the hospital, no questions asked. I have always believed that the ER should not only treat patients in crisis, but also work to address the health issues facing our community.”
(Campaign website) Meet Arvind: “I have always looked for ways to give back to the community that has meant so much to me and my family. I served on the McCandless-Franklin Park Ambulance Authority where I worked to make sure our vital EMS services are available for our entire community.”

Taxes & budget: “Proven fiscal conservative who has voted against tax increases 13 years in a row as a North Allegheny School Board member while still delivering a quality education for our children”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Born and raised in our community, graduating from North Allegheny High, and raising her own family here, Libby learned early the values our community respects: hard work, helping others, honesty. Those are the values she brings to everything in her personal and professional life — whether as a volunteer with countless school and community groups, as a former flight attendant and now small business owner, or, today, as a trusted North Allegheny School Board member.”
(Campaign website) "Follow The Helpers.": “Now she will bring those values to Harrisburg as our State Representative to once again help all of us.”
