Biographical Information

What should be the priorities of Northampton County, and how would you address and pay for them? Please be specific.

Education University of Pittsburgh, B.S. in Psychology and Business Administration and A.A. in Human Resources Managment
Occupation U.S. Senate
Qualifications Former small business owner, former Norco Election Director, and Senior staff member to Senator Casey, overseeing the state.
Northampton County must prioritize strong public services, workforce support, and sustainable economic growth. As County Executive, I will invest in Human Services and Gracedale to ensure our most vulnerable residents receive the care and dignity they deserve, while addressing staffing shortages through improved recruitment, retention, and working conditions. I will modernize county operations to increase efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. These priorities will be funded through responsible budgeting, aggressive pursuit of state and federal grants, and by redirecting resources from inefficiencies. My experience in county government and public service prepares me to lead with accountability and deliver real results.

Occupation NorCo Controller
Qualifications Experienced leader in fiscal responsibility, sustainability, and community advocacy as politician, educator and activist.
As Northampton County Executive, my top priorities will be protecting and enhancing the quality of life for working families and residents while ensuring fiscal responsibility and sustainability in government operations. These priorities include preserving open space and farmland, addressing critical infrastructure needs, supporting mental health services, and maintaining essential county institutions like Gracedale Nursing Home. By leveraging external funding sources, fostering partnerships, building coalitions with community partners and adhering to prudent budgeting practices, we can achieve these goals without increasing taxes or compromising essential services.
