A TRUE CONSERVATIVE VOICE FOR RURAL PA JOB CREATION I will bring my experience as County Commissioner to create family sustaining jobs in our community. CONSERVATIVE VALUES I am pro-life, pro-gun and will fight to protect our conservative values. CITIZEN LEGISLATOR I will not accept a state pension, Per diem expense allowances and state vehicle. EDUCATION I want to see us provide quality education in the most efficient and effective way possible. That includes making decisions cooperatively with local education leaders. PROPERTY TAX REFORM I will look for solution to release the burden to our growing aging population. AGRICULTURE AND MARCELLUS SHALE Our industry is changing and I will provide a progressive voice for our rural community.
