Description of office: The General Assembly is the legislative branch of government in Pennsylvania. 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. The PA House of Representatives consists of 203 members representing one district each, with an equal number of constituents. 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.

Attending many township meetings involving PUC hearings, data center build-outs, emergency response centers, and other pressing needs, it is apparent that the residents of the 128th district are in desperate need of representation that will listen, show up, and act on their best interests. The common denominator is non-partisan: quality of life, affordability, common sense growth, and re-establishing our community pillars that include schools and first responders.
Addressing some of these issues is complex, but having a representative who will work to bring government together for the people is necessary. We need less rhetoric and more actionable steps. Currently, we have politicians working to keep their jobs, not working for people.
Reading the studies and court cases involving recent election integrity, it is clear that this is not as detrimental as it may seem in some outlets. We have held free and fair elections since our inception. Will there be areas where we can improve? Absolutely. We should always be vigilant in securing elections, but we should not disenfranchise or impede citizens from casting their vote. One area that I feel is a simple solution for helping people get out to vote is to make election days (general and primary) holidays. Too often, I've heard people share that they don't have time before or after work due to long lines or traffic getting there. This is an easy fix to celebrate voting and ensuring access to vote!
Honestly, I need to learn more as I am not a career politician, but I do know the impact when the budget is not passed on time. Its impact ripples through our communities and causes financial harm to all Pennsylvanians. The fact that it is not passed on time shows the political grandstanding that is taking place. Harrisburg needs to be a better steward of our money. We need to have more common-sense conversations and action when it comes to passing the budget. Much like households across the commonwealth, collaboration, investing, saving, sacrificing, and timeliness need to be paramount when creating and passing the budget.
What I have heard at meetings and from residents is that this is a very concerning topic. They are already stretched thin with the cost of utilities and daily living expenses, to have the possibility that they could go up even more due to data centers is earth-shattering.
Much of the control is in local hands, but having another layer of safeguarding related to keeping data centers in check from being a detriment to communities is needed. It is a brand new evolution of our technology improvements. It is no different than automobiles and internet safety when they entered the scene. Having additional safeguards is commonsense and holding collaborative conversations with local government can be a win-win for all.

Most pressing issues facing residents of District 128, and how I would address them
The most pressing issues for families in District 128 are sky-high energy bills, crushing property taxes, failing schools that prioritize ideology over reading/math, rampant inflation eating paychecks, and open borders flooding communities with crime and fentanyl. Pennsylvania families are tired of being squeezed while Harrisburg Democrats and their RINO enablers grow government and virtue-signal.
I will fight for:
- Energy dominance
- Tax relief
- School choice
- Border security and law & order
America First means putting Pennsylvania workers, families, and taxpayers first—not globalist elites, not environmental extremists, not Big Tech censors.
Secure elections only—no more Democrat loopholes. Require strict photo voter ID for every ballot. Same-day in-person voting with paper ballots. Limit mail-in to verified absentee with tight deadlines, signature matching, and chain-of-custody. Purge inactive and non-citizen rolls. Ban ballot harvesting and private money. Access never trumps security. Pennsylvania deserves trusted, fraud-free elections.
The budget process is a Harrisburg circus of delays, backroom deals, and bloated spending on leftist priorities.
Solution: Constitutional spending caps tied to population + inflation. Zero-based budgeting so every agency justifies every dollar. Strong line-item veto. “No budget, no pay” for legislators. Cut waste, reject tax hikes. Force fiscal discipline like every PA family lives with.
NO. Zero new state laws or regulations on data centers. This is a classic Democrat trap to slow AI under fake “environmental” cover and help China win the AI arms race.
Data centers bring billions in investment, thousands of jobs, and massive tax revenue. PA has abundant natural gas and nuclear for reliable power—far better than bird-killing wind farms. Water and land issues are local matters under the MPC. State rules would kill growth and trample municipal authority.
Build bigger and faster than Communist China. America First. No apologies to the green agenda.
