Get StartedI am 100% pro-choice and support the mission of Planned Parenthood in serving women, men, and some of those most in need in our communities. One of the most important relationships, outside of a family relationship, is that of a doctor and patient. A woman’s decision about her own health care should be made between her and her doctor. I will fight the unnecessary restrictions that Harrisburg continually proposes that would place a barrier between a woman and her doctor and will fight to ensure that Planned Parenthood continues to have the resources necessary to serve our communities.

I have worked with struggling families throughout my career and understand what they face. Low wages persist while we face rapid cost-of-living increases, organized labor is under assault, and the middle class has continued to shrink. Our economy is changing rapidly and our legislators are not keeping pace. Working people live with more fear, uncertainty, and change than at any period in our history. This insecurity affects us all and we cannot build a foundation for a better society without addressing these most fundamental questions and rebuilding the middle class. Learn more

I will fight to continue a ban on fracking and related activities in the Delaware River Basin and our state parks. Learn more
I believe that how we treat animals is a barometer of how we treat each other in a society, and far too many shameful abuses are accepted and routinely suffered by animals. Animals are also treated like property under our law. This means that regardless of the close personal and familial connection between animals and pet owners, that relationship is not honored by our government. We must do better and, as a legislator, I will draft innovative laws to improve the quality of Justice for animals and pet owners. Learn more
I will work to better define the nature and value of companion animals under the law. Because animals are treated like property, anyone whose family pet is killed or injured may be limited to recovering only the economic value of the animal in court. Pet owners deserve fair compensation, even if it exceeds the economic value of their pets. Their value extends far beyond their economic value and I will make the law to recognize this. Learn more
We need fighters in the statehouse to stand up to these politicians and fight the big lie. We must defend the truth, protect voting rights and demand a higher standard from our elected officials. Our legislators should be fighting for democratic principles, not challenging them. We must demand better; our future and our children’s future depends on it. Learn more
