Representing the 28th District, Jeremy will be a strong advocate for fiscal responsibility, which means not raising your taxes and rooting out wasteful spending. In addition to these fiscal priorities, Jeremy will also focus on supporting our first responders, maintaining quality infrastructure, and standing behind students and teachers in our great local schools.
Jeremy understands that for far too long, politicians have put their personal interests and agendas ahead of the people they serve. As your state representative, Jeremy will work for you, the taxpayers, not the political establishment, and will fight for commonsense solutions to help all Pennsylvanians achieve their dreams.
Jeremy and his wife, Stacey, a physician, are raising their five children here in District 28, and their goal in serving these communities is to ensure freedom and prosperity for current and future generations.
