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 state budget should not be a bargaining chip. When budgets are delayed, schools, farms, and essential services are all negatively impacted. I support earlier bipartisan negotiations, more transparency, and reducing the ability for last-minute gridlocks to purposely stall processes. People are entitled to a timely, responsible budget because it is a commitment to the people who rely on stable funding.

Supports earlier bipartisan budget negotiations, greater transparency, and reducing last-minute procedural gridlock.

ENVIRONMENT

##### Protective Environmental Policies

Preserving our natural resources is not just an ideal, it's a necessity. In Harrisburg I will advocate for air and water quality standards that ensure a healthy future for every community in our state.

AGRICULTURE

##### Sustainable Farming Ecosystems

Supporting our family farms means investing in regenerative practices. We should focus on tools and resources necessary to implement soil health initiatives that boost yield and long-term viability.

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)?
Data centers cause a significant strain on water resources, energy demand, and land development. I believe that the state has a role in setting standards for data centers and keeping potentially damaging developments out of our communities that rely heavily on agriculture and environmental stability. Local governments at a municipal level know their communities best, and state policy should support them by providing clear environmental and infrastructure protections.

What changes, if any, would you support to enable better access, ensure security, and support the processes of our elections?
Every Pennsylvanian deserves an election system that is accessible and secure. I would support vote-by-mail, adequate staffing for polling places, and improving voter education. At the same time, we need strong systems for modernized voting, clear procedures, and consistent statewide standards.
