Policy Priorities
Making government work for Pennsylvania families means prioritizing professional leadership and practical solutions. Caren is committed to fighting for policies that strengthen every neighborhood, support local small businesses, and ensure a prosperous future for all residents of our district.
My Stance on Key Issues
Lower Costs
Families across the Lehigh Valley are feeling the pressure - from rising energy costs to higher grocery bills and everyday expenses. As a parent and someone working in our community, I see how these challenges impact families every day.
Harrisburg should be focused on making life more affordable - not more complicated.
I support practical, common-sense solutions that help families keep more of what they earn:
Lower energy and utility costs by addressing the factors that drive up prices
Reduce the tax burden on working families and small businesses
Support local businesses and job growth so our economy stays strong
Improve transparency in pricing so families aren’t hit with unexpected increases
Ensure taxpayer dollars are used efficiently and responsibly
It’s time to make Pennsylvania more affordable and put families first.
Stronger Schools
As an educator working directly in our schools and as a Parkland parent of three, I’m in our classrooms and communities every day.
I see what’s working - and where we need to do better.
Every student deserves a strong education in a safe, supportive environment, and every parent deserves to feel heard.
I support practical solutions that strengthen our schools and support students, families, and educators:
Support and retain strong teachers by ensuring they have the resources and support they need
Empower parents through better communication, transparency, and involvement in their child’s education
Expand opportunities for students, including career pathways, life skills, and real-world preparation
Strengthen partnerships between schools, families, and the community
Prioritize student well-being, including mental health and prevention-focused support
Strong schools build strong communities.
We need to focus on what’s working, improve what’s not, and make sure every student is set up for success.
Accountability
Families and taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and real results. Too often, decisions are made without clear communication or follow-through - and families are left out of the process.
We need leadership that listens, responds, and delivers.
I support practical steps to ensure accountability at every level:
Increase transparency so families and taxpayers understand how decisions are made
Ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly and focused on results
Strengthen accountability in both government and education systems
Give parents and community members a stronger voice in decisions that impact them
Promote oversight that ensures policies are working as intended
Accountability means more than promises - it means delivering real results for the people we serve.
Real Results for PA
Caren's approach is grounded in real-world experience- not politics. Working in our schools and community every day, she sees firsthand what families are facing- from rising costs to the need for stronger, more accountable schools.
Her focus is simple: support working families, strengthen our schools, and ensure government is responsive to the people it serves. That means practical solutions, responsible decisions, and real results for our community.
