What do you see as the most pressing issues facing residents of your district, and how would you address them?
What changes, if any, would you support to enable better access, ensure security, and support the processes of our elections?
What are your thoughts on the state budget process? What changes, if any, would you support so that the budget is enacted in a timely manner?
Should the state legislature enact laws concerning the impacts on water, energy, or land use from the development and operation of data centers? Would state regulation of data center development and operation interfere with the authority of municipalities to establish ordinances under the MPC (Municipal Planning Code)?

Current Chairperson, Children and Youth Caucus, passed legislation that protected pets, and bought community funds back to the 133rd District
Affordability continues to be a great concern to me. As a representative, I will continue to fight for legislation in Pennsylvania that brings costs down for families as it relates to housing, food, and general affordability.
I continue to support free and fair elections, and will protect the right to vote at all costs.
The House has continually passed the budget in our chamber in a timely manner, and I believe as a collective body, we will continue to. I will continue to urge our colleagues in the upper chamber to pass the budget in the Senate in a timely manner.
There should absolutely be some sort of legislation concerning data centers and their environmental impacts. I think that there should be a joint approach between the state government and our municipal governing partners to find common ground on data center regulation.
