Meet Joanna

 

Joanna was born and raised in Jackson Township and continues to reside in Luzerne County.  Growing up in a union household, she has always been drawn to public service and making an impact in her community.  As an educator, Joanna has made an impression on hundreds of students and their parents; as a public interest attorney, she has worked diligently to ensure that everyone in our community has a voice; and as a community board member volunteer, she has committed her efforts to bettering life in our community.

Joanna worked for Luzerne County for many years and has a deep knowledge of its inner-workings and why it does not run well. With this knowledge, she will be ready to work for you on day one.

WE NEED Better Government, not Bitter Government
