My commitment to children extended into my home as well. Over the years, my family opened our home to 26 foster children. Foster care does not come with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. It means welcoming children during some of the most difficult moments of their lives and giving them safety, stability, and compassion no matter the time of day or night.

Fact Card 01: Minimum Wage

What are your thoughts on the state budget process? What changes, if any, would you support so that the budget is enacted in a timely manner?
We need to hold our elected officials accountable to work within the boundaries of incoming funds. We also need to hold those who receive state funds accountable in how they are spending our money. The most important thing is to keep our safety net programs healthy.

Here’s what you can do:
Contact your state senator and member of Congress. Demand legislative fixes and full funding restoration. Rural lives are in crisis.
Inform your neighbors. Especially seniors, families on Medicaid and those who rely on local healthcare access.

Education

Should the state legislature enact laws concerning the impacts on water, energy, or land use from the development and operation of data centers? Would state regulation of data center development and operation interfere with the authority of municipalities to establish ordinances under the MPC (Municipal Planning Code)?
Absolutely. When the state republicans removed us from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, it set our whole state back 50 years of progress. This was done specifically for the Data Centers and the huge amount of energy they consume.

Supports state laws addressing data centers’ water, energy, and land-use impacts and criticizes Pennsylvania’s withdrawal from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
