Meet Dale
"I've spent my life serving my country and my community.
I'm running because
I believe the people of the 100th District deserve an independent voice who will always put them first."
“We’re all Americans. And that’s how we should behave.”
My wife, Jan, and I have been married for 47 years. During our military careers, we lived throughout the United States and around the world.
Seventeen years ago, after retiring from military service, we chose to make our home in southern Lancaster County.
Today we raise sheep and alpacas and build handcrafted woodworking tools in Quarryville,
We chose this community because of its values, its people, and its strong sense of neighbor helping neighbor.
Service Before Politics
I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
West Point and my career in the United States Army shaped me.
That oath does not end when you leave the service. I have always taken that responsibility seriously. That commitment has guided every chapter of my life—in the military, education, public service, and as a candidate for public office.
The Decision to Run
I never set out to become a politician.
When friends, neighbors, and community members asked me to run for Pennsylvania's 100th District, I hadn’t planned to run for office. But I have spent my life serving others, and I believe our community deserves a real choice this November.
Why I’m Running
I believe Pennsylvania can do better.
Pipelines and Data Centers should be taxed. PA taxes need to be fair.
Farmers and small businesses deserve a state government that understands the challenges they face.
Government should be transparent, accountable, and willing to listen to the people it serves.
My experiences have taken me from rural Ohio to West Point, around the world, into classrooms, libraries, farms, and local communities. Along the way, I've learned that good leadership begins with listening, treating people with respect, and bringing people together to solve problems.
I won't represent a political party.
I won't represent special interests.
I'll represent ALL the people of Pennsylvania's 100th District.
