March feels like a turning point.
The days get a little longer. People start to look ahead.

This campaign is at that kind of moment too. We’re moving from early conversations into a year where decisions will be made about what kind of leadership PA-10 sends to Washington.

From the start, I’ve wanted this to be a people-centered campaign—built around your stories, because the choices we make this year should reflect real lives, not talking points.

A Campaign Built from Real Lives

When campaigns get talked about on TV, it’s usually in terms of numbers: polling, fundraising, horse-race talk.

That’s not how I experience this campaign.

For me, it looks like:

• A teacher explaining what it feels like when expectations rise, but support doesn’t keep up.
  
  
• A farmer talking about whether the next generation will even be able to keep the family operation going.
  
  
• A teenager asking how AI is going to shape the kind of work they can do someday.

Every one of those conversations helps me understand what matters most and where we need to focus.

Stories That Shape Our Priorities

Every big “issue” people hear about has a real person behind it. Your story is what turns an abstract policy into something concrete.

Education — classrooms, not headlines.
When I talk with families and educators, I hear about real classrooms: kids who are doing their best, teachers stretched thin, parents trying to keep up with changes. Your stories help me see where policy is helping and where it’s getting in the way.

Agriculture — old roots, new realities.
Farmers share what it’s like to shoulder rising costs, weather uncertainty, and shifting markets. Some are exploring new crops, including cannabis, where it’s legal and regulated. Others are trying simply to hang on to the land they’ve cared for their whole lives. Your stories keep the conversation grounded in soil.

AI and youth — the future sitting at our kitchen tables.
Young people and parents are asking what technology and AI will mean for learning, work, and opportunity. They’re in the midst of figuring out on a daily basis how to prepare for a future that’s arriving quickly. Your stories help me understand what feels hopeful and what feels risky.

I treat these stories as real-world guidance of the path we need to forge moving forward.

From Stories to Shared Work

A people-based campaign doesn’t say, “Tell me your story so I can speak for you.” It says, “Tell me your story so we can work with you.” That means your experience actually influences what gets prioritized. It means I’m honest when I need to learn more before taking a position. And it means I come back with what I’ve learned and how I’m thinking about it, instead of disappearing between election cycles.

I’m running as an Independent because I believe people’s lives should come before party agendas. Your stories help keep that promise real. They make it harder for anyone—including me—to slip into easy narratives that don’t match what’s actually happening in PA-10.

Why Your Story Matters Now

This year, the noise is only going to get louder. National commentators will talk about our district as a “seat” or a “race.” Parties will talk about control. But long after this election is over, you’ll still be living with the decisions that get made.

That’s why your story matters now. If you’re in a classroom, you know what’s working and what isn’t. If you’re on the land, you know what it takes to keep a farm viable. If you’re raising or teaching kids, you see firsthand what they’re facing as technology reshapes their world. Those lived realities should be at the center of how we govern.

The more people share their experiences, the clearer our path becomes. That’s how we build real momentum—by understanding together what needs to change and why.

An Invitation to Be Part of the Story

If you’ve ever felt like politics talks around your life instead of with it, this campaign is an invitation.

I want to hear from you—about your school, your farm, your business, your family, your hopes for the next generation. Those stories will shape how I talk about this district and what I fight for.

If you’re willing, share one story from your life that you wish someone in Congress understood.

Your story is how we move this campaign, and our district, forward.
