After speaking with constituents across the district, the most pressing issue is the rising cost of living and the financial strain on families. Residents highlight increasing property taxes—especially those tied to school funding—as a major burden. Everyday expenses like gas and groceries continue to rise, even as product sizes shrink, making it harder to manage basic budgets. Healthcare and prescription costs are also increasing, creating added stress. In addition, home repairs and routine maintenance have become more expensive. I will focus on easing the tax burden, stabilizing costs, and improving access to affordable healthcare to provide both immediate relief and long-term stability.
Free, fair, and secure elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. We must protect public trust by maintaining accurate voter rolls, using secure, auditable voting systems, and ensuring election officials have the resources and training to run elections with integrity. At the same time, every eligible voter should have reasonable access to the ballot through reliable mail-in voting, expanded early voting, and commonsense safeguards. Clear, consistent election laws help voters participate with confidence and ensure every lawful vote is counted. Our goal: protect integrity, expand access, and strengthen trust in democracy.
Pennsylvania families deserve a budget that’s on time and on track. Too often, delays and rising spending lead to higher taxes and uncertainty. It’s time to do more with less—cut waste, prioritize what matters, and demand accountability. I’ll fight for firm deadlines, transparent budgeting, and a balanced plan that protects taxpayers while keeping our commitments to schools, seniors, and communities.
In the 88th District, I’ve heard serious concerns about the impact data centers could have on our energy grid, water resources, and farmland. I share those concerns and do not support unchecked development. These facilities can place heavy strain on local infrastructure, increase energy costs, and permanently change the character of our communities.
The state should set strict guardrails—requiring transparency, protecting resources, and ensuring costs aren’t passed on to residents. But Harrisburg must not override local control. Under the Municipal Planning Code, municipalities must retain the authority to decide what development fits their community.
We need to protect our land, our resources, and our voice.

Affordability is the most pressing issue facing our West Shore communities. Families are feeling it every day at the grocery store, at the gas pump, in their monthly utility bills, and in the cost of childcare.
We need to get serious about lowering costs. I’ll fight to cut wasteful government spending that’s driving up prices, reduce taxes for hardworking families, seniors on fixed incomes, and small business owners, and make sure Pennsylvanians have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare, prescription drugs, and childcare.
Our election laws should reflect a simple goal: make voting accessible, while ensuring it’s secure.
I support efforts to expand ballot access and protect voter rights, alongside commonsense integrity measures like voter ID so Pennsylvanians can have full confidence in our election system.
Now more than ever, we need leaders who are willing to put politics aside and get to work for their communities. The lack of bipartisan cooperation led to a state budget that was 135 days late, holding up billions in funding for our schools, counties, and nonprofits.
Pennsylvania taxpayers work hard for their money, and they deserve a government that does the same. If we’re going to tackle our biggest challenges and deliver real results, both parties need to come to the table and work together.
Pennsylvania is well-positioned for data center growth, given our land, energy resources, and strategic location. While that brings real economic opportunity, it also raises valid concerns.
We need to get this right. Data centers should be required to bring their own energy generation, ideally using Pennsylvania-produced energy, so they don’t strain our existing supply or drive up costs for residents. Just as important, local control must be protected. Our communities deserve a real voice, and that voice is best represented by the local officials who know their needs best.
