Dedicated to Serving Pennsylvania's Republicans

As the President of a small excavation and trucking company, Solid Ground Services, Inc., I have been an advocate for issues that concern our county on a state-wide platform. I and have spoken at  the Marcellus Shale Commission meetings in Harrisburg, the House Labor and Industry Committee meeting on prevailing wage reform in Williamsport, and at an Environmental Quality Board hearing for Chapter 78 in Troy. My advocacy on these issues is a reflection of my dedication to the matters that concern our community.

As the Past President of Troy Borough Council and the Troy Chamber of Commerce, I have demonstrated leadership by bringing people together and setting an example of hard work and dedication to the organizations that I serve. I have taken an active role in our county and state Republican parties to promote candidates and events and to encourage new membership and involvement. I have served as Bradford County Republican State Committeewoman since 2014 where I created and currently maintain the county party’s website and facebook page.

Also, as a graduate of the Anne Anstine Series for Public Excellence, I have been working to develop a state-wide network with elected leaders, party officials, and other county committees. Through this series I have learned of new campaign technologies, communication techniques, and numerous other topics critical to being an effective leader.

Bradford County is my home and I have a passion for the people of our county, we deserve quality representation to continue thriving now and well into the future.

ON THE ISSUES

Budget/Economy:

rust in capitalism and a free market economy. Capitalism is successful when a free market system is in place. That is why I believe it is imperative to have both.

Energy and Oil:

Our state is the largest producer of natural gas in the nation and the development of this resource plays a critical role in minimizing our nation’s dependency on foreign energy. The development of the Marcellus Shale means more Pennsylvanians working in family sustainable jobs. Bradford County is the most drilled upon county in the state; it is critical that the people elected to represent us don’t impede upon this economic opportunity. Environmental regulations are an important part of this development and are needed to ensure that companies are good stewards of the land. However, there is a fine line between necessary oversight and burdensome regulation.

Gun Control/Individual Rights:

I am a strong believer in the Constitution of the United States and individual rights. Our founding fathers knew what they were doing and it wouldn't hurt our society to put a little trust in them. The second amendment was put into place to give individual citizens the right to protect themselves from the government if the need arose. The right to bear arms is a prime example of an individual right that the government should not have the authority to impose upon. We should all have the right to protect ourselves and our families.

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are two other individual rights that I believe the government should not impede upon. 

Support for Our Military:

I am the proud wife of a United States Marine Corps Veteran that served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I believe all service men and women make sacrifices that most of us cannot imagine. I am committed to preserving and increasing the benefits offered to them and their families. We owe our freedom to these brave men and women and they deserve to know that our state and elected officials stand behind them.

Pro-Life:

I am Pro-Life. I believe that there is a loving way to communicate the pro-life message without passing judgment or shaming anyone. I am not speaking only in terms of the unborn but am I also pro-life by supporting those effected by addiction. All life has value.

Principles and Values:

I love God and America. We are truly blessed to live in the greatest nation in the world. I am proud of her heritage and of the values and principles that she was built on. As with any government, there are always bumps in the road, but there is hope. With the right leadership, this state will continue to prosper and find solutions to current issues.
