I LOVE being mayor and I give this job 110%.

BUT I would love to see more young people get involved by joining Borough Council. It’s time us the old-timers to pass the torch onto the next generation, so if you’re young and energetic please, Please, PLEASE consider running for office or volunteering for a borough committee. It’s time for the next generation to guide our town.
I place a priority on enhancing our sense of community and I'm pleased that several of our vacant downtown buildings have recently sold to owners who are interested in bringing more business to the downtown. Helping these new owners think outside the box and determine what businesses models work will create a thriving downtown.
