Issue Position: Strong Local Roots

Issue Position

Mary Jo grew up in Narberth, the oldest of seven kids. Her father was an electrician and member of IBEW Local 98 and her mother was both community-minded and socially conscious. One of her earliest memories is joining her mom on a hot summer morning walking a picket line in support of the United Farmworkers.
With that upbringing Mary Jo's passion for activism was instilled at a very young age. Growing up at a time when civil rights, the Vietnam War, women's liberation, and assassinations of President John Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, Mary Jo knows what it is like to live in unsettled times.
