Beyond her professional work, Emily is deeply passionate about community engagement, environmental conservation, transparency, and social equity.
Emily is running for Luzerne County Council to bring fresh energy and meaningful engagement to local government. She believes all voices, especially those historically underrepresented, deserve to be heard and valued. Her guiding principles are fairness, equality, and the fundamental dignity of every person. If elected to county council, Emily will fight to keep voting fair and accessible for everyone, regardless of background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, age, or ability by increasing polling sites, extending early voting hours. She will advocate for policies that ensure Luzerne County’s resources benefit its residents, not private profits. Emily will also prioritize environmental preservation, including protecting farmland and preventing pollution, because a sustainable future benefits us all. Finally, she will push for the creation of a citizen advisory board to give historically underrepresented communities a stronger voice in local government.
