Priorities & campaign themes: “My grandfather taught me that once I give my word, I must honor it and work as hard as I can to keep it. There will be failures, but I will always get up, dust off, and work even harder. I assure you this, regardless of whether you support me or not, I will work even harder today than I did yesterday to make sure our area has a seat at the table. My ears will always remain open to make sure I hear your concerns. My hand will be extended to help with the heavy lifting, and I will do the work it takes to make our area stronger and more prosperous.”
(Campaign website) Priorities & campaign themes: “I won’t stand above you or behind you—I will be standing at your side, no matter our differences.”

Housing: “Why? Because as a working mom and the daughter of older parents, she understands the challenges and concerns we all share – and makes addressing them her top priority as our voice in Harrisburg. Most importantly, she never plays politics or partisan games – focusing instead on finding common ground to reach common-sense solutions.”
(Campaign website) Abortion & reproductive rights: “In 2022 – encouraged by our neighbors throughout Monroe, Pike, Lackawanna and Wayne Counties – Rosemary ran for State Senate. Since then, she has continued to put issues and people first, fighting for fiscal discipline and policies that protect taxpayers, delivering for schools and local communities, supporting police and emergency responders, and making sure our voice is heard loud and clear on issues important to our area.”
