Help us campaign today for a better tomorrow!
How many times have you looked at the members of Congress and said, "That guy just doesn't understand what we are going through" and wanted to change that. Well, I have felt that way since moving to PA's 10th District in 2008, and I feel that now is the right time to change that.
If we join together and make our voices heard, we can fight for the change we want to see!

When I first moved to New Cumberland, I was working for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a Java developer. Since then, I have worked for Bon-Ton as a Web Technologies Analyst, worked for the Veterans' Administration on a contract to maintain and improve applications used to transfer veterans' records from one facility to another and to VA's partners in the medical industry. I have worked to modernize financial companies' websites, and make the experience better for you.
We have all had a rough couple years. COVID has wreaked havoc on all of our jobs, savings, and lives. We watched as our nurses, doctors, teachers, and grocers got sick and many died.

We have all had a rough couple years. COVID has wreaked havoc on all of our jobs, savings, and lives. We watched as our nurses, doctors, teachers, and grocers got sick and many died. Some claimed that it was "99% survivable" without realizing that if all 300 million people in the US caught the disease, that would still mean 3 million people would die. We have managed to limit that to under one million, but that is still far too many people dead. Now that we have finally got the virus on the ropes, it is time to finally eradicate it by starving it out.
We labeled our teachers and our grocery store workers and waitstaff in restaurants as 'essential workers' and yet we want them to go back to work without masks and without health insurance to cover for them catching this deadly virus.
Now we are talking about inflation as though it is something new. We are a dairy state here in Pennsylvania, so let's talk about some milk prices. In 2009, when the minimum wage was raised to $7.25 per hour, we had a price of $2.78 per gallon and in 2020, that price per gallon went to $3.32. So much for raising minimum wage being the cause of price increases. Of course, a gallon of milk is only one indicator, but the price of gas, meat, housing, electricity, etc. all follow similar trends. We keep hearing that the dollar is stronger today than it was then, but that does not mean anything to a person who is paying more for the necessities than only thirteen years ago, all while receiving no substantial wage increase.
My wife and I had a baby in 2020. Our son's birth, as billed to our insurance company, cost over $50,000. How can people afford to have children at that price? If we had not had insurance, that would have wiped us out. I would have had to sell my house to pay the hospital bill, and still would not have had enough. We need to start looking at reigning in healthcare costs. We need to have a single payer service for certain things - childbirth among them - while allowing elective procedures to be covered by private insurance.
We all watched as Derek Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd, and while the news sources we watched divided us, many of us felt it was time to change direction and hold police accountable for all that they do. Still, I do not believe just saying "Black Lives Matter" is enough. Please don't let me off that easily. Make me show that I believe it.
Finally, we watched as some people who were dissatisfied with the loss of their chosen candidate for President decided to attack Congress in the misguided belief that doing so would allow their candidate to retain the office of President. When the whole mess was resolved, we counted on our representatives to stand up and show that they worked for us, only to see Scott Perry state that the election was invalid - the same one which put him back in Congress merely three days earlier - in another attempt to overrule the choices of the people of his and other districts in this state. We later learned that multiple state legislators secretly signed a bogus electors certificate. The final nail was when they decided to redraw district lines in an attempt to make certain that they did not actually have to campaign because they wanted to keep the state 'red', even though that does nothing for the people.
I can't win this race without your help. Flyering, word-of-mouth, and donating are all ways of helping us achieve our goals together.
Your donation is an opportunity to be part of something bigger. Show your candidate that you have their back. Give today!
