Get StartedWe need new solutions, new investment, and better systems to support small businesses and workers. Pennsylvania has among the most regressive tax systems (lower income people pay nearly 2.5x their share of income as higher income people) and among the highest small business taxes in the country. We must do better. Learn more
Educating our children is one of the greatest responsibilities and opportunities we have as a people, and I will fight to make sure all Pennsylvanians have access to an education that guarantees the opportunity to build a life and instills the principles of citizenship, curiosity, hard work, and morality. I will always stand with the local public schools that have educated our children–and been governed by our neighbors–for 150 years. Learn more
The character of a community is seen in how it cares for the most vulnerable among it. Everyone in our district–from newborn infants to retired people–deserves access to the health care they need at prices they can afford. Our health care system needs our attention right now, both locally through the completion of the Wellspan/Evangelical merger and in Harrisburg as we work to keep bad actors out of our nursing homes and patient clinics and continue our comeback mission from the pandemic. Investing in healthcare workers on the front line of serving our community and using the state’s buying power to contribute to lower drug costs are two major areas of work we need for our community.

In the 21st century, internet is not a privilege. It is essential for everything from economic opportunity to healthcare to education. Our district is one of the poorest-served districts in the state–internet/cell service where available is almost all DSL with some cable infrastructure. For kids whose school districts go online on a snow day, no internet (or insufficient internet) means no education. For older residents, as telemedicine becomes increasingly available (and in-person appointment wait times grow), internet access regulates healthcare access. The issue is essential to the area, and now is the time to act. Learn more
