The biggest issue facing our district is simple: working people are being squeezed while Harrisburg isn’t delivering. Families here are dealing with rising property taxes, higher utility bills, and wages that aren’t keeping up. Meanwhile, utility monopolies keep raising rates and politicians look the other way. I’ll fight to lower costs, raise wages, and hold corporate interests accountable—because government should work for people, not the powerful.
I support expanding early voting, no-excuse mail-in voting, and secure ballot drop boxes to improve access. At the same time, we must invest in election security, modern equipment, and well-trained poll workers. I oppose voter suppression and support clear, consistent rules so every eligible voter can safely and confidently participate in our elections.
Pennsylvania’s budget process is too often delayed by political gridlock, creating uncertainty for schools, local governments, and working families. Let's keep budgets on time, transparent, and focused on real needs—not backroom deals. I support earlier, more open negotiations, firm deadlines with accountability measures, and greater public input. We should also require clearer reporting so residents understand where their tax dollars go. Ultimately, the process should prioritize stability, fiscal responsibility, and timely investments in education, infrastructure, and public services.
Yes—data centers have real impacts on water use, energy demand, and land use, so the state should set clear, baseline standards for efficiency, environmental protection, and grid reliability. That includes responsible water use, clean energy requirements, and transparency. At the same time, state law should respect and preserve local control under the MPC. Municipalities must retain the authority to zone, set conditions, and address community impacts. The right approach is a floor—not a ceiling—so statewide standards protect residents while local governments can go further based on community needs.

I have years of experience advocating for working families, public health, and environmental protections in the Mon Valley. I’ve organized community members, worked alongside nonprofits and advocacy groups, and engaged with elected officials at the municipal, county, state and federal levels.
Residents are facing rising costs, economic instability, environmental health concerns, & aging infrastructure.Many families struggle with the cost of housing, childcare, healthcare & groceries while wages have not kept pace.I would support policies that raise wages, strengthen labor protections, & invest in local economic development that brings good-paying jobs to our region.The Mon Valley also faces long-standing environmental & public health challenges.I will continue advocating for stronger environmental oversight & investments in clean air, clean water, & environmental remediation.Finally, we must invest in public education, infrastructure, & reliable transit so our communities can thrive & residents have real opportunities to suceed.
I support practical reforms that both expand access to voting and strengthen public confidence in our elections. Pennsylvania should implement in-person early voting and give counties more time to pre-canvass mail ballots so election workers can process ballots efficiently and report results more quickly. We should also simplify mail ballot rules so voters don’t lose their vote over minor technical errors. At the same time, we must continue investing in secure election infrastructure, training for poll workers, and resources for counties so elections remain transparent, accessible and trustworthy for every voter.
The state budget process should be more transparent, collaborative and timely. Too often, negotiations happen behind closed doors and drag past the deadline, creating uncertainty for schools, municipalities and service providers that rely on state funding. I support earlier negotiations, greater public transparency in the process and stronger accountability to ensure deadlines are met. Budget priorities should reflect the real needs of Pennsylvanians — including education, infrastructure, public transit and human services — and lawmakers should work in good faith to reach agreements that keep government functioning responsibly.
Yes. As data centers expand, Pennsylvania should establish baseline standards to address impacts on water use, energy demand and land development. These facilities can place significant strain on local infrastructure and natural resources, so responsible planning and transparency are important.
At the same time, state policy should not override local authority. Municipalities understand their communities best and must retain the ability under the Municipal Planning Code to enact zoning and land-use ordinances that reflect local needs. State standards should provide safeguards while preserving local control and community input in development decisions.
