Qualifications
A 30+ year Warwick resident and science educator, I currently serve Warwick Township as an elected Municipal Auditor. With over 25 years in public education and a decade of civic and political volunteer service, I am committed to providing experienced, common-sense leadership to our district.
From rising costs to stagnant wages, the most pressing issue facing our district is affordability and the growing financial burden on our families.
I will fight to raise the minimum wage, which has not increased since 2009, to ensure wages finally keep pace with the rising costs of groceries, gas, and health care.
I am committed to securing fair state funding for our schools to reduce the heavy reliance on local property taxes and provide much-needed relief to homeowners.
I will advocate for the strict regulation of high-energy data centers to ensure their massive power demands do not drive up utility rates for local residents and small businesses.
My priority is to protect the integrity of your vote while ensuring every eligible citizen can cast a ballot without barriers.
I support superior training and increased investment in election workers who safeguard our elections.
I fully back the recently introduced 2026 Election Security Package, legislation that will allow mail ballot pre-processing, mandate annual cybersecurity audits, and protect election workers from harassment and voters from intimidation intended to discourage turnout.
I support "back-end verification" using existing state records to confirm identity and citizenship. I oppose any ID requirements that act as a poll tax by charging voters for documentation.
I believe the recurring failure to pass a timely budget is a symptom of a broken process that prioritizes political posturing over the needs of PA residents.
I support "No Budget, No Pay" legislation to suspend the salaries and automatic raises of legislators and the Governor if the constitutional June 30th deadline is missed.
I will fight for a more transparent process that ends the practice of "midnight sessions" and requires budget bills to be posted publicly for 72 hours before a final vote.
I advocate for public hearings during the budget process to ensure that taxpayer priorities—not just special interests—are reflected in how our state spends your money.
While I support a state framework to manage regional energy and water impacts, I will protect the rights of municipalities to use local zoning for noise control, aesthetics, and community fit.
I support state-level regulations to ensure data centers pay for their own infrastructure and grid upgrades, preventing them from shifting those costs onto your monthly electric and water bills.
I will advocate for policies that direct data center tax revenue toward local STEM programs, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and renewable energy research to prepare our students for high-paying future jobs.

Qualifications
As a mom who was born and raised in Bucks County, I am a State Representative who puts politics aside to focus on commonsense solutions to the challenges we face. I also bring real world skills to Harrisburg from my past business experience and school board service
My neighbors are concerned with rising costs impacting their personal budgets. While I cannot
control how Washington deals with this problem, I am making sure that PA’s budget is focused
on our priorities – education and public safety among them – and does not spend more than
taxpayers can afford.
I also support common-sense measures like “Tax Holidays” that temporarily eliminate taxes
passed on to consumers for things like household energy or cell phones. These are simple steps
that will provide immediate, and needed, relief for everyone.
I am also protecting the state’s Rainy Day Fund so that money is there for emergencies and helps
keep our credit rating strong, which reduces debt costs and saves tax dollars.
The issue is one of public confidence. The more confident voters are in the system, the more they
will take part. To build this confidence, we must make sure that only those eligible to vote can do
so – through Voter ID, updating of the voter rolls, and more. We must also reverse the disastrous
changes to election security requirements made by unelected bureaucrats in Harrisburg around
mail-in voting. Voting must be easy – but cheating must be hard. That is how you make voters
want to take part.
One major failure of the budget process is the dishonesty with which government agencies plan
for the future – using “expected cost increases” that ignore historical, data-proven trends and
grossly underestimate what actual spending will be. Ensuring that budgets are developed using
provable data instead of simply “plugging in numbers,” will make for more realistic budget
estimates.
We must also increase transparency and accountability. Transparency in how agencies are
developing budgets and spending money. Accountability in determining “what went wrong”
when agencies spend beyond their budgeted amounts and in ensuring that government programs
are free of fraud or waste so tax dollars actually help those they are supposed to.
As the development of data centers become a more pressing issue, the state can take certain steps
to ensure their impact on the general public is minimized. Things like ensuring data centers are
place only in industrial areas; that they do not drive up energy costs for residential and small
business consumers; that they are not negatively impacting our environment are all goals which
state government can work on meeting. Ultimately, if correctly implemented, changes at the state
government level should not impact local municipal planning powers.
