Legislators should go to Harrisburg to do good, not well

As an elected official already entrusted by the voters to public office, I want to take my record of reform and experience as a Borough Councilman, Republican State Committeeman and community leader, and put it to good use on behalf of the people of the 88th Legislative District.

I believe that public service is a high calling and a noble pursuit, and that when one is elected to represent the public, they take a step beneath the people they were sworn to represent, that they should never place their own interests ahead of their own.

I am proud of my record of fighting excessive and self-indulgent spending and the tax increases that have funded it, and I want to take my record of serving the public -- and not myself -- to Harrisburg, on behalf of the people of my district and Cumberland County.
