Pennsylvania State House of Representatives
Deirdre Kamber Todd
District 183
Why I Am Running
I am running for Pennsylvania State House District 183 because I believe our community deserves a representative who is rooted here — someone who has built a life in this district and has a genuine stake in its future.
As a small business owner, I understand firsthand what it takes to meet a payroll, navigate regulations, and invest in your community while managing the pressures of an uncertain economy. I know that the decisions made in Harrisburg have real consequences for the families and businesses of District 183.
I have called Schnecksville home for over 15 years. My family is here. My roots are here. The towns and townships of District 183 — from Bath to Catasauqua, from Northampton to Orefield — are not talking points to me. They are home.
I am not a career politician. I have never sought power for its own sake. I am running because I believe that practical, principled leadership — grounded in legal expertise and real-world experience — is exactly what this district needs right now. I want to bring an honest voice and a working professional's perspective to Harrisburg.
Our community faces real challenges: access to quality education, affordable healthcare, housing costs, and protecting the rights of every resident. I am ready to fight for the people of District 183 — and I am asking for your support.

Select Issues
Deirdre is committed to fighting for the people of District 183 on the issues that matter most.
Women's Rights
Every woman deserves the right to make her own healthcare decisions — full stop. Deirdre will fight to protect and restore reproductive rights in Pennsylvania, defend access to contraception, and ensure equal pay and workplace protections for women across the Commonwealth.
Affordable Housing & Food Access
Families in District 183 are struggling with rising rents and grocery costs. Deirdre supports expanded housing assistance programs, zoning reforms that allow more affordable housing development, and strengthening food bank funding to ensure no resident goes hungry.
LGBTQIA+ Rights
Every person in District 183 deserves to live freely and safely, regardless of who they are or whom they love. Deirdre will oppose discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations, and will stand firmly against any effort to roll back civil rights protections.
Education Funding
Pennsylvania's school funding system has been ruled unconstitutional — and reform is overdue. Deirdre will prioritize equitable funding for every public school in the district, support teachers and staff, and ensure that every child has access to a quality education regardless of their zip code.
Health Insurance Affordability
Healthcare costs are crushing working families and small businesses. Deirdre supports expanding Medicaid coverage, protecting people with pre-existing conditions, and pursuing bipartisan solutions that lower prescription drug costs and insurance premiums for Pennsylvanians.
Immigration Reform
Our immigration system is broken, and the humanitarian cost is real. Deirdre supports a compassionate, orderly, and legal immigration process — one that keeps families together, protects asylum seekers, and recognizes the essential contributions of immigrants to our communities and economy.
