Why Am I Running?

I have always tried to make a difference when it comes to bettering our society and improving people's lives. Harrisburg is a mess that cries out for common sense solutions by people who are not career politicians. I decided that running for the State legislature was the best opportunity I would ever have to truly make a difference by working to:

• Support legislation that will provide every Pennsylvanian with comprehensive, affordable health care.
• fully fund public education while finding alternatives to property taxes to pay for it.
• support clean renewable energy initiatives
• create a common sense tax code that is much fairer than the one we have now
• support legislation and compel enforcement to protect our environment, and...
• support legislation designed to insure that gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale is environmentally safe.
