A dedicated advocate for District 8, I believe a strong community is built on affordable housing, quality education, transportation, healthcare, thriving businesses, safer neighborhoods, and clean air and water. During my first term on Allegheny County Council, I successfully worked with leaders to keep the Monroeville Convention Center open, negotiated the reopening of Shuman Detention Center, and secured a balanced budget without layoffs and program cuts.

I have also co-sponsored key legislation to make eligible County real property published annually, streamline property assessments, offer tax credits for volunteer first responders, update campaign regulations, prohibit fracking in county parks, and require a countywide climate action plan. In addition to these accomplishments, I am actively addressing economic development and blight, working on job creation initiatives, assisting with long-term planning for volunteer firefighters, and advocating for improved public safety and mental health services.
