ABOUT MERIAM

I am a Journalist and long-time volunteer in my local Democratic committee. I’ve been an active community organizer and Precinct Committee Person. I have a Master’s degree in Political Science from Lehigh University.

I am running for public office to represent the people of our great state and fight for the change we need. My priority will be to serve the people in my district and state and lead with compassion, understanding, and fortitude. 

As a journalist, I have written about and researched some of the challenges we are facing. As a candidate, I am committed to responding to these challenges with meaningful action. From promoting education and good governance to creating policies that support women's rights and diversity, my focus is on helping Pennsylvania thrive as a state that works for everyone. ​

As a mother fortunate to raise my three boys in the Lehigh Valley, I’m passionate about improving the lives of Pennsylvania families like mine. I’ve always been driven by a desire to bring people together and work towards a more just and prosperous future. I am running to advocate for the values that matter most to our Commonwealth and will elevate the voices of my constituents in the 131st District.

I come from a family of proud Americans deeply involved in public service. Beyond tireless community work, my parents were both civil servants. My mother worked in the VA hospital as a pharmacy technician serving our Veterans for over 31 years and my father worked in the NY State Court Administration Office and is a proud Union member.
