The biggest challenge is the affordability crisis—walloping families in South Jersey. Prices are up on everything: groceries, childcare, healthcare, and even our utility bills. It’s putting real pressure on working families. As your Assemblyman, I’m ready to step up and fight to make South Jersey more affordable. That means expanding childcare tax credits to help working parents, capping utility rate increases, cutting property taxes for seniors by 50%, and protecting the ANCHOR program so homeowners and renters keep getting the relief they count on. As an educator, I will fight back against the federal government’s attempt to slash $1.2 billion from public education—a reckless move that would hurt our schools and drive up local taxes. I’m all in for our families, kids, and communities. It’s time for leaders who show up and get results—and that’s precisely what I plan to do.
Improving our democracy starts with making voting easier—not harder—for everyone. Expanding early voting gives working families, seniors, and young people more opportunities to make their voices heard. We’ve already seen the success of vote-by-mail in increasing participation, and we should build on that progress by promoting even greater access to this convenient and trusted method. Implementing same-day voter registration will also ensure no one is excluded because of outdated barriers. However, accessibility is only part of the solution. Public confidence in our elections has been shaken and must be restored. That begins with transparency, secure systems, and leaders who stand up for democracy every step of the way. We need a new generation of leaders who are present, accountable, and committed to earning trust. When we combine accessible voting with integrity-driven leadership, we strengthen our democracy and empower every voice in shaping the future.
Supporting South Jersey’s economy begins with empowering our small businesses, which are the backbone of our communities. To build a thriving economy, we must foster an environment encouraging business growth while ensuring a skilled workforce. This includes providing incentives for job creation, increasing access to financial resources for small businesses, and investing in our region’s unique tourism, agriculture, and historical sectors. We must implement policies focusing on high-growth industries and create meaningful local job opportunities, positioning South Jersey as a leader in innovation and opportunity. Equally important is supporting our rural economies. We must safeguard local control to prevent unregulated mega warehouse development, invest in family farms, and ensure access to high-speed internet in rural areas. Broadband is essential for education, healthcare, and business growth. Addressing these priorities can drive sustainable growth and ensure prosperity.
Education is the foundation of American opportunity—it opens doors, levels the playing field, and gives every child a chance of success. As an American History teacher at Hammonton High School and president of the Hammonton Education Association, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges our students face and understand what it takes to help them thrive. That’s why I’m committed to standing up for our public schools—not just by investing in their future but by defending them against dangerous efforts to dismantle them. The federal government’s reckless proposal to slash $1.2 billion in education funding would devastate our schools, shortchange students, and shift the burden to local taxpayers. I will fight to protect and strengthen public education by securing South Jersey’s fair share of school funding, expanding universal pre-K, and investing in our public universities and community colleges. Every student deserves a high-quality education in a safe and modern learning environment.
America’s immigration system has been broken for decades—and both parties in Congress share the blame. Year after year, they’ve promised solutions but delivered only gridlock, leaving families, communities, and businesses to suffer the consequences. We need real action. That means securing our borders with more personnel, better technology, and smart enforcement that keeps us safe. But we also need a system that reflects our values, including a responsible path to citizenship for undocumented individuals who contribute to our communities. We must fix the visa system to meet workforce needs, especially for employers and farmers facing labor shortages. And we must protect due process, treat people with dignity, and hold violent criminals accountable. It’s time for Congress to move past partisanship and finally deliver immigration reform that is fair, compassionate, and secure—because Americans deserve more than broken promises.

We must tackle the growing affordability crisis that’s burdening families across South Jersey—from soaring property taxes and utility rates to rising grocery bills, healthcare expenses, and child care costs. I support expanding child care tax credits to help working families, delivering a 50% property tax cut for seniors, and increasing funding for property tax relief for middle-class homeowners. At the same time, I will stand up to the federal government’s reckless attempt to dismantle public education by slashing $1.2 billion in funding, a move that would directly harm our local schools and force even higher costs onto our communities. Families are already stretched thin, and they deserve real, lasting solutions—not more pressure. As your Assemblywoman, I’m fighting every day to make New Jersey more affordable and ensure our children, parents, and seniors can thrive right here at home.
To strengthen our democracy, we must make it easier—not harder—for citizens to participate in the electoral process. That means expanding early voting opportunities so working families, seniors, and young people have greater access to the ballot box. We should also promote the responsible and secure use of vote-by-mail, which has already proven to increase participation while maintaining integrity. At the same time, I will support efforts to protect and modernize our electoral systems to ensure every vote is counted accurately and securely. Fair and transparent elections are the foundation of public trust, and I will work to ensure that all voters can cast their ballots with confidence. By expanding access and protecting election security, we can empower more citizens to have a voice in shaping the future of South Jersey and the state we all call home. A stronger democracy begins with participation.
Supporting South Jersey’s economy starts with backing our small businesses. To foster a thriving economy, we must create an environment where businesses can grow while supporting a strong, skilled workforce. That includes offering incentives for job creation and capital investment, expanding access to financial resources for small businesses, and investing in our unique tourism, historical, and agricultural industries. We need smart, targeted policies that prioritize high-growth sectors and create local job opportunities to position South Jersey as a hub of innovation and opportunity. Supporting rural economies is just as vital. We must protect local control to prevent unchecked mega warehouse development, invest in family farms, and expand high-speed internet access across rural areas. Broadband is no longer a luxury—it’s a lifeline for education, healthcare, and commerce. By addressing these needs, we can ensure long-term growth and shared prosperity across South Jersey.
Standing up for our public schools means not only investing in their future—but defending them from dangerous efforts to dismantle public education. I’m strongly opposing the federal government’s reckless attempt to slash $1.2 billion in education funding, a move that would devastate our schools, shortchange students, and stick local taxpayers with higher costs. Our children deserve better. I’m fighting to ensure we protect and strengthen our public education system working to get South Jersey’s fair share school funding, expanding universal pre-K, and investing in public universities and community colleges. Every student should have access to affordable, high-quality education that prepares them for the global workforce. We must also modernize school buildings and create safe, supportive learning environments. Now more than ever, we must stand up to these reckless federal cuts and fight to preserve and strengthen public education.
America’s immigration system has been broken for decades, and Congress has failed to deliver the comprehensive reform we urgently need. We must start by securing our borders through increased staffing, modern surveillance technology, and smart enforcement strategies that prioritize public safety. At the same time, we need an immigration system that reflects our values—one that includes a fair, earned path to citizenship for undocumented individuals who are positively contributing to our communities. Reforming the visa system is also essential to address critical workforce challenges and support local businesses and farmers. We must uphold due process and treat all individuals with dignity and respect, while holding violent criminals accountable and keeping our communities safe. It’s time for an immigration policy rooted in compassion, fairness, and security—one that strengthens our economy, reflects our values, and finally delivers the real solutions that America deserves.
