My Initial plan after I am elected
Work with Businesses
- One of the first things I will do when elected is to convene a round table of business owners in the 6th District. I want to get direct input from you, regarding what Harrisburg can change to assist you in becoming stronger and more able to hire more people.
- Under Construction - more to come and I am looking for input.
Work With Education
- When elected I will convene a round table of stake holders in education within the 6th District. This will include educators, administrators and school board members. I want to get direct input from the educators of the 6th district as to what possible reforms are needed to best assist our students. As we approach topics like standards and testing I want the discussion to go from my district to Harrisburg not just Harrisburg handing mandates down to us.

Drugs and Crime |
|
- Medical marijuana is in the news a lot recently. I understand the idea of the professional medical community using any resource that they have tested and know will specifically help their patients. I do not support any recreational use of the drug. As an educator I see the effects that it has on the youth of today. In general, these habitual users are less motivated and apathetic to achievement. This effect is not beneficial to a society. Due to these beliefs and observations I would require that prescriptions could only be in the form of pills, liquid syrup, and medical nebulizers. It should not be dispensed in the form of leaf/flower, cigarette, electronic cigarette, candies, food additives or other forms designed for the purpose of recreational use.
- Crime is another issue in which I see the effects of in my job as an educator. This issue is much bigger than just throwing criminals in jail. Community and social make up and background play a major part in the prevention of crime. I will seek out solutions that the stake holders in the 6th district want me to go to Harrisburg and fight for.
- When elected I will convene separate round tables of stake holders in the medical and justice professions. These are issues of which I have seen the effects on children, parents and our community. I will seek input from the professionals as to what is the best course for the specific needs of the communities in the 6th district. I will go to Harrisburg and push to help our district's needs not just listen to what Harrisburg wants to hand down to the entire state.
