Biography

This site is not affiliated with Selinsgrove Area School District and does not reflect the official position of the Selinsgrove Area School Board.

I believe very strongly in every citizen's responsibility and right to vote.

For the past eight years, I have regularly placed mail-in voter registration forms at many area post offices and the Selinsgrove Community Library. I also volunteered for several days doing voter registration at the mall before the 2004 election. I thank the Susquehanna Valley Mall for permitting me to do this.
