I want to take over this District and do what the people have wanted and have been promised. I can’t be bought, I’m not a politician, and I’m incorruptible.

What has happened to our schools? The funding situation is ridiculous, giving the money to more wealthy schools in Philadelphia and not to schools that need it, especially in our District was the wrong move. HB301 is a travesty, it helps fund Kooth, which should have never been allowed in our state or any state for that matter. These books that show all of this woke nonsense, should not be in our schools. They might as well have Dylan Mulvanay be the spokes person for State Education Committee, because that’s what some of these books are promoting.

I want to bring my Pennsylvania Success Initiative, which will bring life, jobs, and innovation back to this district.

I want to hold town halls every quarter in person in each County in the District. So people can talk to me face to face and tell me their grievances. That’s how you get to know your community and fix issues. Not by calling people on the phone.

Voteeddie4pa.com

  • Tell me when I’m telling lies
  • End the corruption that takes place in this District.
  • Will be working for what the people want.

Education, Blight, CYS, Taxes, Nursing & Retirement facilities, among many other issues.

As I was growing up, Steve Jobs was someone I looked up to because he wanted people to think different and change the status quo. He went against the grain, and that’s how I’ve always been.

Innovative, Ambitious, Honest, Incorruptible, Common Sense, Intelligent, & Political Outsider.

Actually work for his constituents and the people overall for the state. Not just go around taking pictures, accepting awards, and playing Senator. Go out and work with the people. They make all this money and barely do anything.

My legacy is that I made our little part of the world better for as many people as I could, and my daughter is happy based on policies and hard work that I did.

CVS when I was 15. I was there for a little over a year.

A Song of Ice and Fire because it puts you in a world that is so beautiful but terrifying at the same time. You get to imagine dragons flying, beautiful landscapes, ice zombies, etc. It’s really fascinating.

Trying everything I can, not to turn out like my father.

The Governor is a figure head, and yes he has some powers in his office but the state legislature is where the laws are made and the buck stops in there. The Governor usually has some sort of agenda and future aspirations, such as President. So it has to be based on what the legislature can do.

It’s to early to tell honestly. There could be so many things that we have to deal with, such as the boarder crisis, inflation, taxes, crime, etc

Not at all, I think people who have dealt with real world issues and don’t live in fantasy land like most politicians and government heads do. More everyday people should run for office if they can.

Yes, because the better relationships you have with other states the better the possibilities you have in your own state.

Not sure, I can do more in the state legislature than I can in the Governors mansion or in DC.

Yes, as we saw with former Governor Tom Wolf’s abuse of power, the state legislature should definitely be the one to grant emergency powers. That or as the President needs congressional approval for example a declaration of war, so should the Governor in his state to get approval for any emergency declaration.

Compromising is necessary, as long as you don’t go against your values or constituents.

Education, Community, Economic & Recreational Development, Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness, Communications & Technology, Urban Affairs & Housing, & Appropriations.

Expand all | Collapse all

I’m the guy that does his job. I want to bring Unity, because nothing is more powerful then that. I’m a single parent, Retail Manager for 20 years. I have a degree in Digital Cinematography from Full Sail University. I’m very passionate about fixing the big issues that needs fixing. To quote a favorite character of mine, “It’s time to break the wheel”. We can’t keep electing these people that are involved in energy, real estate, big tech, they all have agendas and they aren’t good ones either.

  • Cancel Property and School Tax
  • Rebuild are roads because we have potholes that the Titanic could sink in.
  • Rebuild our education system because currently a lot of schools that are so poor that they can’t even have transportation or take care of their buildings should combine with other districts that do have the money.

Gas tax, Property and School Tax, Jobs, restructuring CYS, and a complete overhaul of our nursing facilities and retirement homes. These are just a few, there are a lot that I’m very passionate about because I want to actually help people m.

My favorite person in American History has always been Abraham Lincoln. He ended slavery, unified a completely divided country, and died for it. No better person to look up then him.

Strong work ethic, punctuality, transparency, willing to only serve so long and move onto some other seat.

Brutal Honesty, Strong Work Ethic, Don’t like to delegate any work, it’s my job and I’ll do it 110%.

Do their job. Do not delegate, be a working official and lead by example.

That I made a true impact on this district and any area I’m in charge of in the future with innovation, jobs, success. Something that my daughter can look up to.

My very first job was a clerk at CVS when I was 15. I was there 6 months.

A Song of Ice & Fire. The story of Game of Thrones is insanely close to the world we live in today. Back door politics, greed, adventure, love, true patriots, even white walkers(Woke Culture). It’s scary due to the similarities but amazing to read.

Delegating work, because when you want something done, you do it yourself.

There should be constant communication between them. It makes for a better run state and working relationship. Everyone in the state benefits from that.

Unemployment, Inflation. Science and Technology in our state. Also gun law, because I believe Pennsylvania should be constitutional carry. I want to make my district more attracting to other people outside of our state such as Tesla and other innovative companies that will make this state thrive.

Beneficial because then bills don’t have to go through two chambers in order to get passed. Doing so saves time and energy.

Downside is that if there is an overwhelming majority can consume the one Chamber and always dominate it as they see fit.

No, I encourage the opposite actually because while they don’t have government experience, they have real world experience. Most politicians live in Fantasy land and mostly know nothing about what the people want or need, just their own agendas.

This is very important. If you don’t build relationships with other legislators nothing will ever get done.

For example, Minersville School District is very poor. They could combine with Pottsville School District and spread the funding to all of the buildings that need upgrades and transportation for students.

Senator Doug Mastriano. Hands down because he fought back, when no one else would. He’s a combat veteran and has a man extensive Knowledge of History.

A family was being investigated by CYS for physical abuse and of course they called ahead to let them know they were coming. The parents act all happy and then a week later they killed that child.

Don’t really have a favorite joke. I like to pull pranks, especially April Fools.

With conjunction with the Governor it’s makes everyone happier and the state runs better.

I plan on working in a complete Bi partisan way, on legislation that I truly believe in. I will have no problem calling people out on their lies and agendas if I see fit.
