I've spent my professional career helping local students prepare for a bright future. I work with students and teachers and have seen what brings success. As your Representative, I have and will continue to push for fair funding and will working with anyone -- Republican or Democrat -- to make Lancaster County's schools stronger, innovative, and even more effective.
Education ranks just behind public welfare as the second largest state budget expenditure. I have served for 26 years as a guidance counselor in Lancaster County's public schools and this experience continues to give me a unique perspective to speak not only to sound education policies that work, but also to effective school funding -- and how students can truly benefit the most from dollars spent.
