The priorities Joe will champion in Harrisburg from day one.
Creating good-paying jobs, supporting small businesses, and ensuring working families can make ends meet. Joe will fight for lower property taxes and economic policies that build a stronger middle class.
Hardworking families and seniors on fixed incomes are being priced out of their own homes. We need responsible spending and sensible budgets that prioritize keeping your hard-earned money exactly where it belongs—in your pocket.
As a small business owner and a health insurance broker, I navigate the complex and frustrating world of healthcare costs every single day. I see exactly how skyrocketing premiums hurt our families and suffocate local businesses. Unlike career politicians who only read about these issues, I know the system inside and out. I will bring this real-world expertise to the table to cut through the red tape, fight for transparency, and drive down health insurance premiums for Pennsylvania families.
No one knows what a child needs more than their parents. To help every student thrive, we need an educational system that collaborates with families rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. I am committed to protecting parental rights in education and strengthening programs like the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC), ensuring Pennsylvania families have the resources and flexibility they need to personalize their child's educational journey.
Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) →Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of a thriving community. I am fully committed to backing our law enforcement officers, ensuring they have the funding, training, and community support they need to do their jobs effectively and keep our families safe.
Harrisburg should work for the people, not special interests. Joe will push for transparency, ethics reform, and accountability so every constituent's voice is heard.
Your contribution powers the campaign that will bring these priorities to Harrisburg.
Donate TodayCurrently, Pennsylvania offers a rebate to seniors (65+), widows/widowers (50+), and those with disabilities.
The Action: As a State Rep, Joe will sponsor legislation to increase the income eligibility thresholds and raise the maximum rebate amounts.
The Goal: Many seniors in Haverford are "house rich and cash poor"—they own valuable homes but live on fixed incomes that slightly exceed current limits. Adjusting these caps for inflation ensures they aren't taxed out of homes they've owned for 40 years.
Philadelphia has a program called LOOP, but it isn't currently available to suburban townships like Haverford or Marple without specific state enabling legislation.
The Action: Propose a bill that allows Delaware County to implement its own LOOP-style program. This would cap assessment increases for residents who have lived in their homes for 10+ years and meet certain income criteria.
The Goal: It prevents "gentrification tax hikes," where a surge in local property values (common in Havertown) leads to a massive tax spike that long-term residents cannot afford.
Under Act 1, a portion of gambling revenue is used to lower the assessed value of primary residences.
The Action: Fight for a larger share of state gaming or sales tax revenue to be diverted specifically into the Property Tax Relief Fund.
The Goal: This provides an immediate, "bottom-line" reduction on the school tax bill for every homeowner in the district, regardless of age. Joe will push for a formula that favors "high-burden" districts like those in Delaware County.
Pennsylvania law allows for a senior citizen tax freeze, but it requires local jurisdictions to opt-in and often needs clearer state guidance to be effective.
The Action: Advocate for a statewide mandate or a simplified "opt-in" for townships to freeze property tax rates at the level they were when the resident turned 65 (provided they meet income requirements).
The Goal: This provides seniors with predictability. Even if the township or school board raises taxes, the senior's bill remains the same, protecting their retirement savings.
Some PA municipalities have experimented with "Tax Help for Volunteers."
The Action: Create a state-authorized framework where seniors can volunteer for the township (e.g., at the Haverford Township Free Library, local parks, or administrative offices) in exchange for a direct credit toward their municipal property taxes.
The Goal: This helps seniors stay active and involved in the community while providing them a tangible way to "earn" a reduction in their tax burden.
