Payne, who is running for a seat on the Middletown Board of Supervisors and currently works for the Bucks County Commissioners, was the only woman from Bucks County to win.

“I am truly honored to receive this award and to be in the company of such talented and inspiring women,” said Payne. “It means so much to me to have the support of the community I love, and I will continue to use my voice to fight for a better, more inclusive health care system for all. Together, we can work towards making Pennsylvania a state where everyone can thrive.”

Payne is an advocate for those with rare illnesses and has served on a state advisory panel. She was born with cystic fibrosis.
