1. What are the top issues currently facing your district and how do you plan to address
them?
There are many issues in Lower Bucks like keeping our communities safe, inflation, and
more, however, I believe that holding the line on taxes is a big issue for the 141st
District.

As people are forced to pay more at the gas pump and for groceries, we must
make sure the government is not exacerbating the problem. I will work on putting a
budget together that puts Pennsylvanians first. I will focus on finding revenue before
increasing spending. It is not acceptable to waste taxpayers' money.

2. Identify specific goals or ideas you have to enhance life in your district:
We need to address the homes that are being used as halfway houses. I will work with the
Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs to impose fines on unlicensed
recovery houses in the commonwealth that receive public funding. This is better for our
community and for those in recovery.

I will also work with both Bristol Borough and Bristol Township Police Departments to make sure that they receive everything needed to do their jobs. I will fully support our police.

3. What in your experience or background prepares you for election to the office?
I am just like everyone in the 141st. I care about our community and what is going on in
Harrisburg. I have spent many years managing a small business and volunteering in
our community. My compassion and hard work ethic along with my many years of
community service I feel make me prepared for being your next State Representative.
