I am Majority Chairman of the House Environmental Committee and my professional focus has been PA environmental policy. An enormous problem facing our planet is climate change and PA is a significant contributor to this. I am a strong advocate of expanding renewable forms of energy.
I would oppose any measures which make voting more difficult such as enacting Voter ID or eliminating voting by mail.
I don't think there is an easy answer to this- especially with divided government which PA currently has.
The Pa legislature is currently in the process of enacting legislation to address the problems caused by data centers. I fully support these efforts . In fact, the House just passed a bill which would provide municipalities with a model ordnance to assist then in writing their own ordinances.

The most pressing issue in our district is balancing affordability with the high quality of life and essential services our residents value. We must keep our schools strong, maintain public safety, and invest in infrastructure like transit, trails, and roads, all while ensuring families can earn a good living and raise their children here.
At the same time, residents are concerned about the future of voting, civil, and women’s rights which are at threat. Protecting these freedoms is essential to preserving the community we all want.
As your State Representative, I will champion policies that put our residents first, bring resources and funding to our district, and safeguard the rights and opportunities that make Pennsylvania strong.
Through my work with Montgomery County during the 2024 election, I have hands-on experience expanding access to voting, including overseeing the opening of satellite offices, mobile services, and ballot drop box locations. I’ve seen how we can make voting easier while maintaining security and trust in the process.
As a State Representative, I would support policies that expand opportunities to vote, including early voting, automatic voter registration, reduced registration deadlines, and requiring paid time off so everyone has the chance to cast their ballot. Importantly, I will also actively fight any efforts to restrict access to the ballot and protect every Pennsylvanian’s right to vote.
Having served as Chief of Staff to a Pennsylvania State Senator, I’ve seen firsthand the complexities of the budget process and the challenge of balancing priorities across agencies and legislators.
In Pennsylvania, partisan gridlock too often delays budgets, putting vital programs and local services at risk. I would support reforms that increase transparency, enforce clear deadlines, and rely on independent revenue forecasts to guide responsible decision-making.
Now more than ever, working across the aisle to find common ground is essential, and my experience building strong relationships will help foster collaboration, ensure accountability, and keep the budget process on track and on time.
I believe municipalities should maintain authority over land use and local development, including data centers, because they know best where such facilities are appropriate.
At the same time, I believe that the state should set clear standards for energy use, water impacts, public health, and the environment. This approach lets communities guide growth locally while statewide rules protect resources, promote sustainability, and minimize potential negative impacts from data center development.
