Democratic Candidates for 2025 general election

---

Upper Moreland resident of 28 years, serving as treasurer on the public library board and a member of

the APA, where I review development projects and advise the commissioners. I aim to keep taxes low,

improve traffic enforcement on Easton and York Roads, involve Woodlawn Park neighbors in renovation

plans, and maintain open communication. I am a proud Penn State grad.

I'm ready to be the strong representative you deserve. I will communicate about township matters that affect you. 

As your neighbor, I've fought for responsible growth that protects the environment and strengthens the community. My goals:

• Listen and inform
• Protect green space
• Support health and safety
• Manage budget wisely
• Foster a welcoming environment

 My approach to local governance is grounded in collaboration, transparency, and thoughtful decision-making. As a current school board director and former Board Treasurer, I’ve worked closely with the school's administration to align budgets with community priorities, ensure accountability, and support policies that reflect the needs of students and families. This experience has strengthened my ability to navigate complex issues, build consensus, and advocate effectively for Upper Moreland. 

 I am a veteran teacher and mom who wants to make UMSD the best school district in PA. My top 3 goals as school director are:

-Support our students and fight for their extracurriculars.
-Foster an environment in the district that encourages teacher retention.
-Advocate for federal and state funding to fund our schools and not put an undue burden on the Upper Moreland tax payers.

I want to serve Upper Moreland because I believe a strong school district is the best indicator of a strong community.
