Candidate for
State Representative; District 182; Democratic Party

I believe in a pragmatic and responsible approach to solving Pennsylvania's problems. I am socially progressive and fiscally responsible, and those values guide my legislative priorities and decision making. I will support and draft legislation that will have a meaningful impact in our community.

The need for a new direction:

The 182nd district has had the same representative for the past 25 years. With the multiple complex, entrenched, and often intertwined challenges facing Pennsylvania, I believe the time for fresh leadership is now.

We are paying more in taxes and getting less. People who still have jobs are working longer hours. Healthcare costs are out of control. We're surrounded by crime and safety concerns and not receiving adequate help to fight back. Many of us have solutions and it is now time that we elect someone who will take action.

I am a progressive Democrat, but I am also a pragmatic one + the two should not be mutually exclusive. If we haven't been receiving the results our community needs over the past 25 years, then it's obvious we need to head in a new direction. I'm not asking you for a quarter century + I'm just asking for your vote on May 18th. Together, let's make a change in Harrisburg...and a difference for our community.
