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.

Families across our district are feeling squeezed by higher utility bills, rising food prices, housing costs, and the overall strain of inflation. Government should not make that worse. I believe we need to rein in spending, promote economic growth, and stop policies that drive up costs on households and employers. That includes pushing back on energy policies that would raise electric and heating bills. We need a stronger economy, a healthier business climate, and a state government that helps people get ahead instead of making everyday life more expensive.
Public confidence in elections matters. I support requiring identification to vote because it is a reasonable step that helps verify eligibility and strengthens trust in the outcome. At the same time, our system should remain straightforward and accessible for eligible voters. We should focus on clear rules, consistent procedures, and better administration so elections are secure, orderly, and worthy of the public’s confidence. Protecting the integrity of the vote and making participation simple can and should go hand in hand.
Too often, Harrisburg spends first and asks questions later. That is not sustainable. When fraud and abuse grow inside public programs, the people who pay the price are taxpayers and the communities relying on those dollars for schools, infrastructure, and public safety. I support tougher oversight, stronger auditing, and a budget process that puts essential services first instead of wasteful spending. Pennsylvania needs to pass its budget on time and treat every public dollar like it matters because it’s not Harrisburg’s money, it’s yours.
Data centers can be a real asset by expanding the tax base, encouraging investment, and creating new opportunities in our communities. However, growth has to be handled the right way. Decisions involving land use, utility demand, and environmental impact should not be dictated from Harrisburg. Local officials are in the best position to decide what fits their community. I support preserving municipal authority while making sure any project can meet its own infrastructure needs and does not shift added costs or strain onto existing residents and businesses.
