Qualifications
I have shown my ability to lead, collaborate, and bring people together through my work with Neighbors for Crebilly and by managing multiple organizations over the years. These experiences have prepared me to represent our community with integrity and a commitment to ensuring every voice is heard.
In talking with neighbors across the 160th District, I hear the same concerns. Life has gotten too hard and costs are too high. People want to protect the quality of life that makes this community such a special place to live. Families are feeling squeezed by rising property taxes, healthcare costs, and everyday expenses. At the same time, residents care deeply about preserving our open spaces, protecting clean water, and ensuring that growth in our region is responsible and sustainable. My focus in Harrisburg would be on lowering costs where we can—through property tax relief and smart investments in our local economy—while also protecting what matters most here.
Our elections are the foundation of our democracy and that we need to stand up strongly to the false allegations of stolen elections. I support policies that will make elections accessible, efficient, and fair and hold individuals who sow doubt accountable. I support expanding early in-person voting so people have more flexibility, and I believe we should allow counties to begin processing mail-in ballots before Election Day so results can be reported more efficiently. Our county election offices need the resources and clear guidance to do their jobs well, and voters deserve a consistent, reliable experience no matter where they live.
We’ve seen too many late budgets in Pennsylvania, and the uncertainty that creates has real consequences for our schools, local governments, and nonprofits. It makes it harder for them to plan and serve our communities effectively. I believe we need a more transparent and accountable process. That starts with earlier and more open discussions about budget priorities, so the public can see what’s being proposed and why. Just as important, we need to change the tone of the process. Budgets shouldn’t come down to last-minute negotiations behind closed doors. They should reflect thoughtful, bipartisan work focused on the long-term needs of our state—especially investments in education, infrastructure, and economic opportunity.
Data centers are becoming a bigger part of our economy, and they can bring jobs and investment. But they also have real impacts—especially when it comes to energy use, water resources, and land development. I believe the state should set clear, responsible standards to make sure these projects are sustainable and don’t put unnecessary strain on our natural resources or infrastructure. At the same time, local communities know their needs best. Municipalities should continue to have a strong voice under the Municipal Planning Code when it comes to zoning and land use decisions. We need to strike the right balance—welcoming economic development while protecting our environment and respecting local control.
