To every voter that opened your door for me, and all of the volunteers who came week after week to our campaign office, always asking what’s next for them to do–I thank you, and I am honored to fight for you in Harrisburg. It’s an understatement to say that I have spent a lot of time over the past year knocking on my neighbors’ doors, but every conversation has made crystal clear what our community needs in the State House. To Representative KC Tomlinson: Thank you for your service to our community...
I am eager to turn the page and start working hard to deliver for our kids, seniors, working families, and first responders. I am ready to fight to give our kids the education they deserve, and make sure Pennsylvania is putting our families’ and small business’ budgets ahead of corporate and tech billionaire profits.”
