What are the top issues currently facing your district and how do you plan to address them?

The three top issues facing the District are the attacks on a woman's right to choose, the increasing cost of living and the local PFOS contamination in our water supply.

When I am elected, I plan to vote against any bill that would criminalize a woman's right to choose. I will also advocate and sponsor a bill to lower taxes on our seniors and I will get state money to fix the contaminated wells in Warminster and Warrington.

Identify specific goals or ideas you have to enhance life in your district:

We need to fix the water contamination. Due to the PFOS contamination, Warminster and Warrington are cancer hot spots and an entire generation of children have grown up without access to clean drinking water. My goal is to fix this problem in the next five years. Access to clean water is a human right and it is a travesty that parts of the district do not have it.

What in your experience or background prepares you for election to office?
In every position that I have worked in, I have identified problems and looked for solutions. From my time on the Warminster Board of Supervisors looking for ways to protect green space to my time as Bucks County Clerk of Courts where I identified $230 million that were owed to the county and victims.

I have always looked to find solutions. With regards to green space, I advocated to protect the local green space and preserve what little remained in Warminster with parks. As Bucks County Clerk of Courts, I set up the DRIP program where I reached out to people who owed court debts and victims restitution as recovered $1 million in court fees and victims' restitution for the county and crime victims. When I am elected, I will continue to identify problems and find solutions.
