Candidate for
State Representative; Pennsylvania State House of Representatives; District 163

I will work hard on behalf of all Pennsylvanians especially those who reside in the 163rd! We need changes and we need them now. Here are a few things I will work on immediately.

• Education programs and Funding: I will work hard in Harrisburg to ensure that our School Districts' best interests are represented. I will continue to fight for funding for our schools and make sure our needs are not only heard but met. I want to make sure children with special needs and learning disabilities have everything they need in the classrooms. We need a fair funding formula and we need it now.

• Property Tax Reform: I believe real property tax reform is needed in order to keep the property values in our neighborhoods up. School Board members need to focus on initiatives to move their schools forward instead of focusing on what programs need to be cut in order to stay afloat.

• Job Creation: I will work to ensure that there are programs in place so that companies will move into our region and hire employees from within the region and get more people back to work. We need to make Pennsylvania a more Business Friendly State.

• Protecting our labor force: In Upper Darby I introduced a Responsible Contractor Ordinance to ensure that we always have the most qualified companies working for our Township. We need to make sure people are receiving the training they need in addition to a fair wages and benefits.
