I began fighting for others early on in my life and continue to do so because I have faith in people, and as a veteran, an unwavering allegiance to the United States of America's Constitution.

Gandhi said You must be the change you wish to see in the world. I agree, and I'm ready to be the change, which is why I am running for office.
If you're ready for change, then please vote for change - the type of change where you support, vote, and elect a candidate who will put you first and corporate interests second.
I'm Tina Burns, and I am running for PA House of Representatives of the 124th district. I am running for my child, my grandchildren, and for all of those in the 124th that deserve better representation in Harrisburg. I am dedicated to serving you, not the multi-billion dollar industries that have taken advantage of our residents and depleted our area resources for well over 60 years.
I grew up in a lower middle-class home in New Ringgold, PA with my parents and 2 older siblings. I am a graduate of Tamaqua Area High School. I hold a Master of Science degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology from FIU, and work in the healthcare industry. I am a problem solver who understands and knows how and what it takes to solve problems while working with others.
In my twenties, I served in the United States Coast Guard where I learned about leadership, serving others, and honoring my oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. After leaving the armed services, I held many different jobs such as, a tractor trailer driver, educator, operations manager, chef, horse trainer & groom, small business owner, and more. My current job in healthcare compliance has made me keenly aware of the importance and need for quality healthcare accessibility and affordability.
I'm running because I believe in our small and rural communities and the people living within them. For far too long, those that have held political seats in our area have made and broken their promises again and again. I want to affect meaningful change that makes our area better for everyone no matter what their political party is or how much they may or may not have in their wallet.
Are you ready for change? Are you ready to have someone in your corner standing up for you instead of for the multi-billion dollar industries? I know I certainly am. It's time for a change. It's time to elect a candidate that will have your back.
Please reach out if you have any questions. I humbly ask you to please vote for me to be your representative in the PA State House seat for the 124th district.
Tina Burns
