Issues

I am running for re-election to give Delaware County a voice in Harrisburg. For too long, our interests have taken a back seat to partisan fighting, or – even worse – our Representatives have been beholden to out-of-touch political leaders from other parts of the state who take tax dollars out of Delco to spend in their own remote districts. This is a bad deal for Delco, and I’m at home and in Harrisburg working for change.
