A Life of Service
Nancy Mannion is an accomplished registered nurse and healthcare leader. She’s spent decades caring for people experiencing health emergencies, listening and acting to improve, and sometimes save, lives. No stranger to high-stakes situations, Nancy built her career around thinking clearly under pressure, solving complex problems quickly, and delivering compassionate care.
For Nancy, integrity and accountability are core values. As importantly, she has the strength, know-how, and experience to advocate for what working people need to survive and thrive. She’ll bring those skills to her role as a U.S. Congresswoman.
Her priorities include creating affordable, accessible healthcare programs and building a ladder to opportunity through strong education and workforce development programs. In addition, recognizing that Lancaster and York counties are home to some of the most fertile farmland in our nation, Nancy is committed to helping farmers achieve economic success.
The residents of PA’s 11th District deserve a representative who will funnel tax dollars back into Lancaster and York to provide affordable healthcare, housing, and education and ensure that children and seniors are safe, have enough to eat, and a chance to thrive. Nancy will work tirelessly for YOU, not the billionaires looking to increase their stock portfolios.
