Candidate for
State Senator; Pennsylvania State Senate; District 28

If re-elected, my top priorities are:

Bring Fiscal Responsibility to State Government

Promote the spending of taxpayer's dollars in a fair and reasonable manner. Enhance and increase government efficiency. Harrisburg has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

Restore Prosperity to Pennsylvania

Spur economic growth at a greater rate than government growth. Balance private and public job growth in line with appropriate social service needs. Pennsylvania needs new private sector jobs created, not more government jobs.

Control Property Taxes

It is unfair for Pennsylvanians to spend most of their adult life paying off their mortgages only to be burdened by excessive property taxes in retirement.

Reform Harrisburg's Political System

High salaries, lavish pensions, automatic pay raises and excessive per diems are just a few examples of why we have the most expensive legislature in the country. I declined the pension and healthcare benefits when I was sworn in.

Protect and Defend our Constitutional Freedoms

Preserving our constitutional freedoms, including the 2nd Amendment and protecting life, will always be one of my guiding principles.

Accessibility

In today's world of instant communication I want to assure you that I am always accessible to discuss issues. In addition, you will receive regular e-mail updates regarding issues and progress in Harrisburg.
