Policy Q&A

1. Fiscal Responsibility: I am beyond determined to address the inefficiencies in the state budget. I will persistently fight against any spending deficits, advocating for a more streamlined and responsible allocation of resources. Wasteful expenditures have no place when it comes to YOUR hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
2. Consumer Protection Advocacy: Over time, we develop technologies and run into issues we may not have even considered prior to their creation. Especially in today's digital age, it's crucial to protect consumers' rights. We have seen many other states make an effort to adapt to where we are today, and Pennsylvania is slowly falling behind. I want to modernize PA by working towards enhancing and expanding PA consumer protection laws, championing measures like Right to Repair, and Right to Delete. I believe in giving you control over your data, and ensuring fair practices in the marketplace.
3. Enhanced Constituency Outreach: When was the last time you heard from your elected officials? More importantly, when was the last time they asked what you and your neighbors felt was best for your community? We all know that communication is key, especially to proper representation. I'm committed to establishing regular open monthly meetings at district offices, providing a direct line for you to voice your concerns, share ideas, and collaborate on initiatives. Your input will actively shape the policies that affect our community. Let's work together to build a stronger, more accountable District 2.

YES, absolutely!

Just to give you a few statistics, according to U.S. News, Pennsylvania ranks #40 in the overall rankings of states. More specifically, we rank #50 in Higher Education (!!!), #47 in Fiscal Stability, #46 in Infrastructure, #43 in Employment, and #42 in Corrections Outcomes. Worst of all, according to Newton County News, Erie had about 173 reported cases of rape in 2020, which horribly is more than 2x the national average, and 3x the state average. Clearly what we have been doing is not working, and as much as politicians often claim it, I am proving to you here that we need to make a change. Although there isn't much room to further fall in these areas (and many others), standing idle will only keep up the status quo.

If there is one thing I have learned in the Army, it is that strong leadership and teamwork is key. I've been trained to approach challenges with discipline, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence. This experience has instilled in me a deep sense of duty and a readiness to tackle any obstacle head-on.

As I mentioned though, none of this can be done alone. I refuse to hold back progress over stubbornness or party lines. I pledge to you that I will do everything in my power to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, to the best of my ability, in order to mitigate the ever so prevalent political gridlock, and for you to finally see progress in your government.
