It is composed of two houses: the Senate is the upper house, and the House of Representatives is the lower house. A majority vote in both houses is necessary to pass a law.

Representatives must be at least 21 years old, have been a citizen and a resident of the state four years and a resident of their respective districts one year before their election, and shall reside in their respective districts during their terms of service. The House develops budget packages, makes taxation decisions, allocates spending, and passes laws (including redistricting in collaboration with the Senate). The House also has the exclusive authority to impeach public officials. Representatives also serve on various policy committees that may propose legislation.Term: 2 yearsSalary: $113,591Vote for ONE.Note: On Democratic and Republican primary ballots, voters will also choose members of the State and County Committees.

Qualifications
Nurse, mom of five, with a background in cultural anthropology. I’ve led in real healthcare settings and understand people, systems, and where they break.
People are feeling squeezed from every direction, rising costs, limited job opportunities, and a healthcare system that’s stretched thin. We have an aging population, and too many families are one crisis away from financial instability.
I’m focused on rebuilding from the ground up: investing in infrastructure to attract real jobs, strengthening workforce pipelines through vo-tech, trades, and healthcare partnerships, and pushing for safe staffing standards in long-term care. Prevention, whether in healthcare, addiction, or economic decline, is cheaper, smarter, and long overdue.
Voters deserve both access and confidence in the system, those two things should never be at odds. I support maintaining secure voter ID standards while making sure IDs are easy to obtain.
We should expand early voting options, improve poll worker recruitment and training, and modernize systems so lines are shorter and results are timely. Transparency matters too, clear processes, consistent rules, and accountability across the board. When people trust the system, participation follows.
Late budgets aren’t just political theater, they disrupt schools, services, and local planning. That’s not acceptable.
I support earlier, more transparent negotiations and real accountability when deadlines are missed. We should require budget proposals to be publicly reviewed in plain language, with clear breakdowns of spending and impact.
At the end of the day, a budget is a reflection of priorities. Ours should be focused on stability, funding infrastructure, supporting working families, and making sure essential services aren’t left hanging because Harrisburg can’t get its act together.
Data centers can bring jobs and investment, but they also put real strain on water, energy, and local infrastructure. We shouldn’t ignore those trade-offs. I support clear statewide standards for transparency and impact—like water usage, energy sourcing, and infrastructure demand—so communities know exactly what they’re agreeing to. But those should be a floor, not a ceiling. Municipalities must retain authority under the Municipal Planning Code. They live with the long-term impact and should control zoning and land use. Growth matters, but it has to be responsible and sustainable.
