What sets you apart from other candidates?
My experience sets me apart from other candidates. I have had the privilege of working in all three levels of government - federal, state, and local. This knowledge and experience gives me a better understanding of how these levels interact in order to propose policies to efficiently and effectively address citizen needs.
How do you plan to work across ideological lines to achieve shared goals?
I look forward to working with all legislators, regardless of affiliation, to introduce policies to reduce waste, improve processes, and make state government more responsive to the needs of its citizens. These issues shouldn't be partisan.
What would be your top three policy priorities in office?
1) Workforce development - we are exporting our younger workforce to other states. Pennsylvania needs to adopt policies that attract skilled and educated labor to our Commonwealth and to offer paid apprenticeship programs to those seeking to enter the trades.
2) Farmland preservation - Franklin County is blessed with some of the richest soils in the United States, however, competing interests for that land put upward pressure on farmers to sell or develop their land. Our county has done an excellent job of balancing, agriculture, commercial development, and new housing, but continued increases in land prices make it difficult for the next generation of farmers to enter into the industry. Pennsylvania needs to continue to prioritize the ag industry and food security.
3) Preserving our small-town values - People move to Franklin County because our taxes are low, our communities are friendly, and we balance development with preserving our natural and agricultural heritage. These are the values that should be taken to Harrisburg and guide state policy.
