  • "A compassionate and forward-thinking young lady who is dedicated to Johnstown."

    Linda Orlosky, former planning commission colleague

She is willing to roll up her sleeves, ask the hard questions, get the answers and sacrifice to make good things happen.”

    Dave Hurst, executive director of The Steeples Project and local author

  • “Laura is a naturally gifted leader. She is organized, collaborative, thoughtful, and intelligent. She uses all of these skills to bring people together and find solutions in even the most complex situations. Most importantly, Laura's humor and kindness enhanced all of the work we did together!”

HI! I’M LAURA!

I love calling Johnstown home. Born here but raised outside, I chose to come back to plant my roots. Why? Because of its natural beauty, historic gems, good people and promising way of life.

It would be my honor to serve our city and help grow it into a refreshed place that honors its past while also reimagining its potential. A place that supports its locals and attracts newcomers. A place everyone can invest in and benefit from.

It’s time for us to thrive!
