John,

I’m running because I want my daughters to inherit a country with honest government, real opportunity, and a future worth fighting for. That is why I stepped into this race. It is why I’ve spent years rooting out corruption, fixing budgets, and making Scranton work for real people instead of cronies.

When I was on the school board and the auditor general’s team, I saw what happens when public trust is broken. I ran for mayor to change that. We cleaned up City Hall, balanced the books, cut red tape, and brought small businesses and homes back to our neighborhoods. I did that as a mom, and I did it because I want my kids to know that government can work for them, not profit from them.

Congress is where this fight matters next. Our district is facing rising costs and an uncertain future, and too many in Washington are more interested in lining their own pockets than fighting for our families. I’ll reform Congress the way I reformed Scranton. I’ll ban insider trading, reject corporate PAC money, and make the government accountable to you.

We’re officially in the general election now, and have about five months to win this seat. This campaign is powered by people who believe in honest government and practical results. Will you stand with us?
