Proven leadership. Real results. Fiscal
TAP HERE I don’t spend your money like Harrisburg’s play money. I’ve fought bloated budgets, pushed back on tax hikes, and demanded results for every dollar we send to the Capitol. I backed structural reforms that force agencies to justify spending, not just repeat it. And when local governments needed flexibility to fix crumbling bridges, I wrote SB 205 to let Motor License Funds be used on county and municipal bridges —so your tax dollars actually solve problems in your community. My north star is simple: protect taxpayers, restrain government, and keep Pennsylvania competitive .
Every child deserves access to a great education—not just the one their zip code assigns . I’ve consistently supported expanding Pennsylvania’s scholarship programs so families—especially working- and middle-class—can choose the school that fits their kid. I’ll keep fighting to grow EITC/OSTC scholarships, protect Lifeline/PASS-style opportunities , and make sure career and technical education is funded to match our workforce needs. We should reward outcomes, transparency, and parental choice—not bureaucracy.
Pennsylvania can power America—and lead on reliability, affordability, and innovation . I’ve supported legislation to revive nuclear, responsibly expand natural gas, and cut permitting delays that strangle investment. And with SB 939 , I introduced a first-in-the-nation framework to attract AI and data center development —fast-track permitting, a regulatory sandbox, and an “opportunity zone” approach that drives high-wage jobs while protecting taxpayers. Energy strength + tech leadership = a future our kids can build in .
Championing
TAP HERE Safe communities are the first duty of government. I back our police, firefighters, EMTs, and volunteer companies with the resources and legal protections they need to do the job. I’ve supported the Safe2Say Something initiative to prevent violence in our schools, and I’ve stood with prosecutors and victims to keep violent offenders off our streets. I’ll continue advancing legislation that targets fentanyl and repeat violent crime , strengthens recruitment and retention for first responders, and makes sure justice is swift and certain.
Outdoors,
TAP HERE As Chair of the Senate Game & Fisheries Committee , I delivered practical wins: a unanimous Senate vote to reform Fish & Boat Commission funding (SB 800) so anglers and boaters see their dollars work; legislation to protect hunters’ rights and help farmers mitigate crop damage ; and hearings that put real data behind better policy. I’ll always defend Pennsylvania’s outdoor traditions—and the people who work the land.
