Qualifications
I've been serving on Mechanicsburg Borough Council since being elected in 2019, where I've been able to support and grow our small business community, expand our green spaces, and pave our roads with the $2 million in grants we brought to our growing community in 2023.
There are so many issues facing Pennsylvanians -- we all need help sometimes, whether it's because we lost our jobs and healthcare, we fell behind on rent, or we need to get somewhere but don't have a car. My community has stepped in and helped me when I needed it, and now I want to go get affordable housing, quality healthcare, fully-funded schools, improved infrastructure and public transportation, and good-paying green jobs for all of us. As a social worker, I've always looked for the helpers around me and I will do the same thing at the State House, working tirelessly with anyone who can help me bring those things to the 88th.
We should have automatic voter registration, in-person early voting, a national holiday on election day, absolutely everything we can do to make sure that the most people possible are able to vote.
I support a fair funding formula. Every child in Pennsylvania should get a quality education, regardless of their zip code. We need to equitably fund our schools and pay our teachers fairly. Our children are at school for a third of their days, and we need to make sure it is safe and fulfilling to be there. School funding should not be reliant wholly on property taxes; it hurts the most vulnerable among us the most.
The right to access reproductive care within the privacy of a doctor's office should be the law. Abortion should remain safe, legal, and accessible in Pennsylvania, and I will fight for a woman's right to choose.
