Pennsylvania State House District 45

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Families across our communities are feeling the pressure of rising costs, and they deserve leadership focused on real relief. I am committed to policies that actually make our community, and our lives, more affordable — without tax increases. That means being responsible with public resources, setting clear priorities to address the cost of living, and making sure our government works efficiently for the people it serves.” (Campaign website)

Education & schools: “Strong public schools are the foundation of a strong community. Every child deserves access to a high-quality education, regardless of their background or their zip code. I support fully funding public schools so that classrooms have the resources they need: well-trained teachers, up-to-date materials, safe facilities, and support services that help students succeed.” (Campaign website)

Education & schools: “My sister is a teacher and I’ve seen firsthand the need to invest in our educators by giving them the tools and support to do their jobs effectively and make a living wage while doing so. By fully funding our public schools, we are investing in our future: supporting students, strengthening our communities, and building a stronger economy for everyone.” (Campaign website)

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “I am committed to being a strong, dedicated voice for working people and the labor unions that support them. Workers deserve fair pay, safe working conditions, and the right to organize and negotiate for better opportunities. I will stand with unions to protect those rights, support collective bargaining, and ensure workers are treated with dignity and respect. When we stand up for workers, we strengthen families, support our economy, and build a more fair and just community for everyone.” (Campaign website)

Priorities & campaign themes: “Born here. Raised here. Raising my family here.” (Campaign website)

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “I'm running because I want to serve you. That means listening, helping constituents navigate state government, and staying focused on the costs, jobs, schools, infrastructure, and essential services that shape daily life in District 45.” (Campaign website)
