Qualifications
My qualifications for the mayor of New Berlin come from the various leadership roles, in which I both currently hold and I have held over the years. I am currently serving as the incumbent mayor, and as pastor for the New Berlin Emmanuel Church.
I strongly believe the greatest impact that one can make in their lifetime is in the community in which one lives. I am currently serving my first term, as the incumbent mayor, here in the New Berlin Borough. I am running for re-election because I would like to use this experience to further the work that we have already gained in uniting our community.
The New Berlin Borough has a wonderful history of being a quaint small town. We are also home to Sun Area Technical Institute, QE Manufacturing, and New Berlin Pastics just to name a few, as well as several small businesses. Unfortunately, the struggle is trying to maintain the allure of the quaint small town where families want to settle in and raise a family, put some roots down, and deal with the noise that comes with a busy town. This is something that we need to continue to work on. Also, I believe our infrastructure needs to be improved. Specifically, I would like to work with our own Municipal Authority to better our water treatment.
