Christina’s campaign was recently identified as a possible Red to Blue race and is endorsed by Emily’s List, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL, and the National Organization for Women, just to name a few.  Christine is 5th generation Pennsylvania who grew up in a large Irish Catholic household. Her parents taught her the importance of giving back to her community and instilled the phrase “Unto whom much is given, much is required.”  Christina earned a joint law degree and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Villanova Law and Drexel University and took an extended internship at a federal correctional facility in Missouri, interviewing and performing psychological evaluations on some of the most violent and hardened prisoners in our federal system. Instead of pursuing a career at a big corporate law firm or health care company after graduate school, she returned home to Pennsylvania because she wanted to help the community she loves.

She has spent the last 10 years working to improve government systems for care delivery as Deputy Director of the Bucks County Department of Housing and Human Services and working with the Philadelphia Veterans Court, connecting veterans with high-quality services. She served on the board of Alpha Bravo Canine, where she helped connect veterans with combat-related injuries with well-trained service dogs, and since 2017 she has served as the only Democrat on the 7-member elected Ivyland Borough Council. She also currently serves on the Nativity of Our Lord’s school advisory board and the YMCA of Bucks County’s Central Bucks Regional Advisory Board.

Christina believes she has a knack for fixing what’s broken. She’s running for Congress because Washington is broken, and we can’t change our politics until we change the people we send there.  She is determined to go to Washington to find real solutions for our problems and to fight for her district’s families every day.
