WHY I AM RUNNING

As a former Emergency Services Director, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication of our police, fire, and EMS responders, but their numbers are dwindling—especially among volunteers. We must invest in training, support, and incentives to recruit and retain them.

Our farmers are losing millions each year, struggling with outdated infrastructure, rising costs, and lack of support. I will fight for policies that strengthen agriculture, improve broadband access, and ease the burden on our rural communities.

As a parent, I see the challenges families face, from rising costs to threats against women’s rights. I am pro-choice because pro-choice doesn’t mean pro-abortion. No personal medical decisions should not be dictated by politicians. Women’s health care—including access to reproductive services, maternal care, and preventive health—must be protected and expanded, especially in rural communities where options are limited.

I have also felt deep personal loss. After losing my oldest son in 2017 to an auto accident, I’ve met too many parents struggling with grief from accidents, addiction, and mental health challenges. We must expand access to mental health care, addiction recovery, and family support programs.

Our veterans deserve better. As the proud grandson of a World War II veteran, I understand the barriers they and their families face in accessing services. We must do more to honor their sacrifices and give them the continued support they and their families need.

We can’t wait for Washington to fix our problems—we must act now. I am running because I believe in solutions, not division. I will listen, work hard, and fight for policies that uplift our community. No matter where you stand, let’s find the common ground and work together. We don’t always need to agree, regardless I will stand beside you to make our region stronger and more prosperous.


Regardless of whether we see eye to eye, I will shake your hand, sit down at your kitchen table, and work together to find a resolution to a problem.

All politics start at the local level—right at that kitchen table. Families discuss topics such as health care, employment, education, and quality of life. Though the concerns may differ for the forklift operator in Jessup, the dairy farmer in Cherry Ridge, or the small business owner in downtown Stroudsburg, they are equally important to solve. A balanced, common-sense approach to problem-solving is needed. Cooperation is needed!

I will go to great heights to solve a problem. Let’s Stand Side By Side to get it done!
