2026 Pennsylvania General Election 

Viable funding options include, but are not limited to, unleashing Pennsylvania's energy and innovation, deconstructing other outdated systems, eliminating unnecessary administrative positions, cutting wasteful spending, increasing sales tax on non-essentials and revoking the tax-exempt status on entities, like non-profits, universities and hospitals that have questionable financial practices and reallocating those funds to schools and services.

School and Property Tax

Contrary to rewarding homeowners for homeownership, the outdated school and property tax system of today punishes homeowners. I will fight to deconstruct the current school and property tax system, to abolish property taxes by advocating for an amendment to our constitution.

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?
The Pennsylvania state budget process is broken, we’ve seen repeated delays past the June 30 deadline, hurting schools, providers, and families with late funding. I support reforms for timely enactment, such as automatic continuing resolutions and spending caps tied to revenue growth to prevent gridlock.

Economy

I support reforms for timely enactment, such as automatic continuing resolutions and spending caps tied to revenue growth to prevent gridlock. We must also rein in out-of-control spending: end taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants beyond true emergencies, aggressively combat Medicare/Medicaid fraud that costs billions, and stop wasteful upgrades like the millions spent on Gov. Shapiro’s official residences. Prioritize fiscal responsibility so hard-earned tax dollars serve Pennsylvania families first, not special interests.

Education

What do you see as the most pressing issues facing residents of your district, and how would you address them?
The most pressing issues for 112th district are the proposed data centers and soaring property taxes. Massive data center campuses threaten to cover 14% of our borough, displace families from the trailer park, bring noise, light, and air pollution, strain our electric grid and water supply, and risk higher utility bills and lower home values for neighbors. I would address data centers by enforcing strict zoning with mandatory buffers from homes, requiring full environmental and utility impact studies, and ensuring any approved projects deliver real, guaranteed benefits without harming quality of life.

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)?
Yes, the state legislature should enact laws addressing the significant impacts of data centers on water, energy, and land use. These facilities can strain local resources, increase utility costs, and affect quality of life for residents.

As trustee, the Commonwealth must conserve these resources for current and future generations. State regulation can set minimum standards for environmental protection and infrastructure without interfering with municipal authority under the Municipalities Planning Code.

When elected, I'll continue to fight the invasion, to preserve and protect local governance, to ensure these companies pay extra fees, all while standing proudly for a statewide pause until our towns are protected.

Public Safety

I support changes to strengthen election integrity while maintaining access for all eligible voters in our district. First, require photo voter ID at the polls, a common-sense step used in many states and for everyday activities like driving or banking. Free IDs should be available for those who need them. Second, ensure all votes use auditable paper ballots for hand recounts and verification.

Elections have consequences, election integrity matters and no-excuse mail-in ballots are problematic. To restore safeguards 0to 0our 0elections, I will champion and stand up for voter ID, clean voter lists, paper ballots, and full audits so every vote counts.
