Biography
Originally from Port Huron, Michigan,[3] Wright earned a degree in education from the University of Akron and pursued graduate studies in correctional counseling at Gannon University.[3]
Prior to elective office, she taught high school and middle school in Erie, Pennsylvania.[3] She also served three terms on the Erie City Council, and was elected as city council president in 1997.[3]
Wright was subsequently elected to represent the 2nd legislative district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in a special election on August 14, 2001, following the May 2001 death of Italo Cappabianca.[4] She won a controversial endorsement by the local Democratic Committee over Cappabianca's widow, Linda.[5] Cappabianca decided against mounting a formal write-in campaign, citing time constraints, but encouraged voters to write her in as an independent candidate.[6] Wright won the August 14 contest with 48.2% of the vote, with Cappabianca placing a strong second with 39.1%.[7]
In 2002, Wright was named to the PoliticsPA list of Best Dressed Legislators.[8]
She lost the 2002 Democratic primary election to Florindo Fabrizio.[9]
