SPOTLIGHT RACE: Sara Agerton for PA-HD88

Sara Agerton grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. Her dad was a welder, and her mom stayed home to care for her, and they taught Sara that nothing mattered more than your community and lifting up the people who create it.

That upbringing led Sara to a twenty-year career in social work, from helping children in the foster care system to serving patients in end-of-life hospice care. She has been there with people at their worst and their best, and she has learned something along the way: you can be a perfect social worker every day and still fail because of the system.

That's what drives her. Sara ran for Mechanicsburg Borough Council and won, as the only Democrat and on council, and over four years, she delivered: long-overdue road improvements, a booming downtown, support for small businesses, and new green spaces for the community. Mechanicsburg is moving forward, and people can feel it.

Now Sara is running for State House to bring that same approach to the 88th District. Lowering costs. Strengthening communities. Making sure people can get ahead and stay there. When someone calls her for help, she answers. That won't change.
