Qualifications
Member of Dublin Borough Council, 2020-Present; President of Dublin Borough Council, 2024-Present; six year Army National Guard veteran (2015-2021); professional experience working across the aisle in Harrisburg to pass legislation to protect our environment and lower costs for Pennsylvanians
I’m focused on lowering the cost of living, getting our first responders the resources needed to keep us safe, and protecting our natural resources.
These issues are connected. First responders in our district are struggling to find new recruits because they can’t afford to buy homes in our community. We need to make sure folks are earning a livable wage and that we’re constructing more new housing. We need to balance that construction with the need to conserve our district’s beautiful open space for future generations. And we need to make sure we’re putting guardrails on data centers to stop them from using up our water while raising our already too high utility bills. In Harrisburg, I’ll lead efforts to tackle these challenges head-on.
Since 2020, mail in voting has been under attack in Pennsylvania. I’m fully in favor of protecting our existing mail in voting law, and will defend it from any attempts to repeal it. I would also support new legislation and efforts to expand ballot drop boxes, institute pre-canvassing, and support ballot curing. I would also support an amendment to the state constitution to prohibit the state legislature from ignoring the results of a presidential election while certifying the electors who represent Pennsylvania in the Electoral College.
Voters are tired of the stalemate in Harrisburg. As someone who’s worked across the aisle to get things done for my community, I am too. Last year’s budget took far longer than necessary to pass. When I’m a state representative, I’ll propose a law withholding paychecks from state legislators if they cannot agree on a budget by June 30th. It will serve as a reminder to both the State House of Representatives and State Senate that they’re in office to serve the people–not to collect a comfortable, six-figure paycheck while basic services their constituents need go unfunded.
I will push for strict guardrails on AI data centers. Data centers should be required to provide their own energy capacity. They should participate in load management during periods of peak demand to help reduce rolling blackouts. I also support reporting requirements for water consumption, as well as community benefits agreements, and disaster response planning to ensure that data centers are contributing to rather than taking from our community.
As a municipal elected official, I’ve been pushing for a data center ordinance in my own community. But the state government should act on this issue too, and I do not think that a statewide data center guardrails bill would interfere with the authority of municipal governments.

Qualifications
Scientist, educator, and public policy practitioner with more than a decade of experience evaluating programs, building consensus, and turning evidence into decisions. I bring systems thinking, practical governance experience, and a commitment to transparent, accountable leadership.
Families are being squeezed from three directions at once: taxes, housing, and school costs. These are not separate problems. When the state does not adequately fund public schools, local property taxpayers are forced to carry more of the burden. When housing costs rise, families have less room for everything else. I’m the only candidate proposing both a Pennsylvania standard deduction to give working families direct tax relief and seller-side housing incentives that help first-time buyers and older homeowners maintain the equity they earned.
Voters deserve more choice, more participation, and confidence that elections are secure. I support opening Pennsylvania’s primaries to independent voters, along with reforms such as fusion voting and ranked-choice voting that can encourage broader coalitions and reduce the incentive for candidates to appeal only to partisan bases. Election security and access should reinforce one another, not compete. Clear procedures, trusted verification, transparent administration, and broad voter participation all strengthen public confidence. Our election system should make it easier to vote for what we believe in, not simply against what we fear.
A state budget should be a governing document, not an annual partisan standoff. The legislature should begin negotiations earlier, communicate fiscal assumptions openly, and give members and the public enough time to understand major spending and revenue decisions before a final vote. I would support a process built around clear deadlines, transparent projections, and regular public reporting on areas of agreement and disagreement. No party should be able to use schools, counties, nonprofits, or families as leverage in a political fight. Budgeting is one of government’s most basic responsibilities, and it should be treated that way.
Data centers can expand our tax base without bringing the same population growth and demands on schools and services that often accompany other development. But communities should receive more than tax revenue. Because these facilities can place substantial demands on electricity, water, and land, developers should fund grid, water, and infrastructure improvements that benefit residents. Right now, development is moving faster than many local ordinances can adapt. The state should establish interim standards to prevent a rush to grandfather projects under outdated rules, while municipalities update their own protections. State action should set a responsible floor, not permanently replace local land-use authority.
