Pennsylvanian’s are struggling while our leaders buy drones and lobsters. I will fight to raise the wage to a living standard and tackle the affordability crisis.

1. Raise the Minimum Wage to a Living Wage
Pass legislation to increase Pennsylvania’s minimum wage and index it to inflation, so workers aren’t falling behind every year. No one working full-time should live in poverty.

2. Lower Everyday Costs for Working Families
Cut costs where it matters most-housing, healthcare, childcare, and utilities-by expanding targeted tax credits, capping predatory fees, and investing in affordable housing.

3. Close Corporate Tax Loopholes
End giveaways to large corporations and make sure big companies pay their fair share. Redirect those funds into schools, infrastructure, and direct relief for working families.

4. Invest in Good-Paying Local Jobs
Support union jobs, small businesses, and workforce development programs that create stable, family-sustaining careers right here in our communities-not outsourced or underpaid work.

As a former deputy director for voter protection, I know that the biggest threat to our elections is the MAGA administration. I will protect our polling locations from ICE and I will fight to make Vote by mail permanent.

1. Protect Polling Places from Intimidation
Pass clear protections to keep ICE and other law enforcement activities away from polling locations so every voter can cast a ballot without fear.

2. Make Vote-by-Mail Permanent
Defend and expand vote-by-mail, ensuring secure, accessible, and permanent options so every Pennsylvanian can vote conveniently.

3. Strengthen Voter Protection Programs
Invest in year-round voter protection efforts, including hotlines, legal support, and trained poll monitors to safeguard every vote.

4. Expand Access and Participation
Increase early voting options, modernize voter registration, and remove unnecessary barriers so more working people can fully participate in our democracy.

We cannot let data center executives and developers exploit and contaminate our natural resources while off-putting the price burden on Pennsylvania families. All big corporations must pay their fair share and adhere to Pennsylvania Sustainability Agreement.

1. Hold Data Centers Accountable
Require strict environmental standards for data centers, including limits on water usage, energy consumption, and pollution to protect Pennsylvania’s natural resources.

2. Make Corporations Pay Their Fair Share
Close tax loopholes and implement fair taxation so large tech companies and developers contribute to the communities they profit from.

3. Protect Communities from Cost Shifting
Ban utility rate hikes and hidden subsidies that force working families to shoulder the energy and infrastructure costs of corporate development.

4. Enforce a Pennsylvania Sustainability Standard
Establish and enforce a statewide sustainability agreement that mandates clean energy use, environmental protections, and community reinvestment for all large-scale developments.

A place to live and a place to work are the key components to human dignity. I will tackle the housing crisis with creative ideas and fight for a people first agenda that will fund whole home repairs and increase first time home buying across the 4th Senatorial District.

1. Fund Whole-Home Repairs at Scale
Expand and fully fund programs that help low- and moderate-income homeowners make critical repairs, keeping families safe and preventing displacement.

2. Make First-Time Homeownership Possible
Increase down payment assistance, reduce closing costs, and create pathways to homeownership so working families can build wealth in their communities.

3. Build and Preserve Affordable Housing
Invest in new affordable housing and protect existing units from speculation and neglect, ensuring people can live where they work.

4. Put People First in Housing Policy
Prioritize residents over profit by supporting tenant protections, fair zoning policies, and community-driven development and solutions that keep neighborhoods stable and strong.

Making Pennsylvania safer is a top priority. We are laser focused on expanding background checks, closing the boyfriend loophole and keeping guns away from our students and teachers. Pennsylvanians want common cense gun laws and gun owners want common sense gun laws. It is time to fight for the people and not the gun lobby and gun manufacturers, PA deserves to be safe and we can get it done!

1. Expand Background Checks
Close loopholes and implement universal background checks so guns don’t fall into the wrong hands.

2. Close the “Boyfriend Loophole”
Ensure all domestic abusers, including dating partners, are prohibited from accessing firearms to protect survivors.

3. Protect Schools and Communities
Keep guns out of the hands of students, teachers, administrators and away from our polling places, churches and recreation spaces.

4. Put People Over the Gun Lobby
Pass common-sense gun reforms supported by the majority of Pennsylvanians and responsible gun owners, not dictated by manufacturers or special interests.

Our tax dollars should invest in our communities, not in war and destruction. I will fight to divest Pennsylvania’s public funds from weapons manufacturers and companies that profit from conflict, and reinvest that money into schools, healthcare, and jobs here at home.

1. Divest from War Profiteers
Remove Pennsylvania public funds and pensions from companies that profit from war, weapons manufacturing, and global conflict.

2. Reinvest in Our Communities
Redirect those investments into schools, healthcare, infrastructure, and job creation here at home.

3. Ensure Transparency in Public Investments
Require full disclosure of where taxpayer dollars are invested so Pennsylvanians know their money isn’t funding violence abroad.

4. Build a Peace-Focused Economy
Prioritize investments in clean energy, local businesses, and community development that strengthen lives instead of fueling war.
