Get StartedAs a woman, Women's Rights are important to me. I don't feel any Government has a right to legislate a women's reproductive system. As a liberty minded person, I see this relating to Individual Rights and I like to compare it to the Covid Vaccine. I would not support a Government mandate to force vaccination as I see it as a personal choice as I would not support a Government mandate or law that limits a woman's right to make her own decisions in her health. And, although I understand the argument of how these practices are funded, and am open to ideas of how that could be rectified, I personally fear that defunding outright could be used as a blockade against those who couldn't afford proper care that could be too detrimental to not only the people directly involved, but also the community as a whole.

As the Chair of the Board of Pardons I will inquire about outreach and rehabilitation programs for drug offenders as well as other non-violent crime offenders. Mental health is an issue in PA as well as across the country. We need to have programs in place to help those with mental health issues while keeping them out of the penal system. Although I would not have sole or final say, I will urge my fellow board members to join me in removing these blemishes from these people's records. It is hard enough for someone to turn their lives around from addiction or lifestyle, these convictions only continue to further hamper them from advancing their employment or educational opportunities. I will also strongly consider other cases, in particular, instances where victims are incarcerated for defending themselves against their abusers. Learn more
As Lt. Governor I will serve as the Chair of the Board of Pardon's where I will focus my attention on full and complete pardons for all non-violent offenders. Learn more
As Lt. Governor in PA, and as a board member of PEMA, I will ensure that the Grand Juries recommendations are followed. Which include but not limited to increasing the set back of wells, make public all chemicals used, safe transportation of waste water, regulations for smaller pipelines based on risk and not size, strengthen pollution regulations, assess public health in relation to fracking, make it harder for legislators and employees to leave public service and work for the fracking industry, and allow the AG's office to have jurisdiction over any criminal act of oil and gas companies doing business in PA. Pennsylvania is second in the US in the natural gas industry with Texas leading the nation. We as Pennsylvanians can profit from not only monies collected, but with jobs coming to PA because of the gas and oil industry. We need to make sure that with the proper oversights that we also keep our Number 1 industry (farming) viable for future generations. Learn more
I also believe in reforming current State Programs such as the Welfare System and Child Protective Services. As for the Welfare System a large amount of Pennsylvanians depend on this system and I would not support just pulling the rug out from under them, however there has been numerous cases of fraud and misuse which only hurts those who need it. Welfare should be used as a helping hand and not as an viable long-term survival option. Currently the system is designed to keep individuals in it and we must work to build a system that helps those people rebuild their lives into something they can be proud of. Learn more
