Economy and Jobs
There aren’t many blue-collar workers in the State House. As a practicing electrician, I'll bring real people's concerns to a Harrisburg full of lawyers and lobbyists. As a working man and a father, I understand that economic uncertainty increases the pressure of everyday financial challenges, from filling up the gas tank to paying for a trip to the doctor. Working Pennsylvanians deserve representatives who understand their challenges and will search for ways to help meet them.
I’ve worked for over twenty years in the private sector, and I understand the integral role of private enterprise in creating jobs in our area. I understand, too, that government can be a partner, spurring economic activity that provides opportunity for all and protects the working families of Northampton County from the current economic downturn. I will push for initiatives to promote a strong economy and job market, and provide incentives and opportunities for those hit hardest, and I will always put working people first.
