More Jobs, Better Pay

Martina gets it: the best way to help Northeast families is to bring good paying jobs to our area. As State Representative, that’s exactly what she is fighting to do:

  • Supporting career and technical education that provides local residents with the skills employers want

  • Focused on growing a responsible energy industry to create family sustaining jobs

  • Standing up for the rights of workers and working to preserve the benefits that Northeast families have earned

  • Making PA more attractive to job creators to keep the jobs we have and attract new ones

  • Passing a new bipartisan funding formula that provides more

  • Encouraging community involvement that keeps neighborhoods safe and clean, as well as supporting local schools through an innovative tax credit program.

Quality of Life

As a lifelong resident of the Northeast, Martina understands that we all want to preserve the unique character and quality-of-life in our neighborhoods. As our State Representative, she is standing side-by-side with us to do the things that make that happen.

  • Supporting our law enforcement, fire fighters and EMTs – both for the work they do and with the tools they need.

  • Fighting the opioid epidemic by supporting treatment for those trapped in addiction, strong penalties for dealers, and by working with the medical community to end over-prescribing.

  • Opposing radical policies that treat criminals better than crime victims.

Protecting Taxpayers

Martina knows that whether you’re a working family or a retired senior, paying more in taxes is the last thing you need…especially now. As Representative, she has been a strong voice for fiscal discipline in state government.
