Why are you seeking elective office?

To pass the heartbeat bill in PA. To work with our teachers and students to help our schools reach their full potential. To work with an economic team to bring good jobs to our area.

The single most pressing issue facing our state/nation is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

Abortion

I'm going to do everything in my power to pass the heartbeat bill in PA. With God's grace, this will happen. I believe life begins at conception.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

My opponent says he is Pro-Life. But, yet he voted to allow dismemberment abortions up to 20 weeks on December 12, 2017.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the incumbent failed the district?

If you say you are Pro-Life, be Pro-Life 100% of the time. He could do much more to improve our schools in the area, but he hasn't. Businesses are fleeing NY and NJ, this creates an opportunity, right here in Lower Bucks County.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform

I also want to see what we can do to bring prayer back in public schools. Also, we are going to look at ways to increase competition into student loans and health insurance to drive down costs and increase quality.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

Twenty years teaching experience. A teacher educates, influences, consoles, manages, sells, serves, performs, entertains, and has one of the greatest responsibilities of any profession. What people don't see is the two hours of prep work and two hours of grading everyday. For these reasons, I believe teaching has prepared me properly.

The best advice ever shared with me was …

Pray about it. Ask God for help and direction.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

That I care. That I will outwork my opponent. That I'm here to help.
