UPPER PROVIDENCE

Katie = New Energy, Honest Leadership

Born and raised in Western PA, Katie comes from a family founded on hard work, perseverance and service to others. She holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Penn State University and a Master’s of Science degree from A.T. Still University. Katie is an adjunct professor teaching in the Department of Kinesiology at a local university. She resides in Royersford with her husband, Trevor, and two rescue pups, Vinny and Kermit.

Shortly after the 2016 Presidential election, Katie met with local community members to organize a grassroots effort that gives a voice to those who want positive social change. She is now the Chair of this group, Indivisible Mid Montco, and it has blossomed to include hundreds of members throughout the county. She brings energy and change to our community by creating opportunities and providing resources to those who seek to be active in holding our government accountable.

Once in office, Katie’s top priorities will be:
• Rejuvenating the Pennsylvania public school system
• Addressing wealth inequality, including increasing the minimum wage
• Creating new sources of revenue and good jobs through infrastructure and clean/renewable energy initiatives
• Getting money out of politics to restore our democracy

Melissa is a fourth generation Phoenixville resident, a Conestoga graduate and an entrepreneur who started her own digital video business while she was a single Mother.  She is running on ‘common sense before politics’ and believes it is more important than ever that regular citizens, not career politicians get involved in state politics and champion the programs being reduced and eliminated by the federal government. Melissa believes in an immediate bipartisan collaboration to balance the state budget to reduce state debt. She promises to conserve our beautiful open space, eliminate the Keystone tests, and ensure that our senior citizens have healthcare that they deserve.

Melissa’s top three policy concerns are: Fully Funding Public Education through out the state, Protecting the environment, and a ban on military style assault weapons to keep our children and everyone safe.
