I am running for Congress because it is time to roll up our sleeves and work together- across the aisle and in our neighborhoods- to produce solutions to help people get back on their feet, and the economy moving forward. I have spent my career working to help Pennsylvanians protect their jobs, their Social Security, and their families. I want to take these skills, and my background working to mediate differences, to change the culture in Washington and start getting things done for a change. Our current Congress has focused on obstruction and party politics, rather than working to make things better for the people of our district and our country. The people of the 8th District of Pennsylvania deserve better, and America deserves better.
