I am seeking office to serve the residents of New Berlin Borough. As a relatively New Resident to New Berlin Borough I feel I can bring a fresh and youthful perspective to the council. I intend to steward my position as a councilman with integrity, and wisdom. My hope is to work with the other members of the council to continue to make New Berlin Borough a safe, peaceful, and desirable place to call home.
Our Beloved fire Company is of great importance to the borough. Not only do they provide the life saving EMS/ Fire services that you would expect from a fire company they also provide fun and community through the many events they hold through the year. Most notable is their fireman’s Carnival that is held each year. As the current liaison between the council and fire company I am happy to support them as they continue to aid our borough and the surrounding area. As with anywhere there is always areas that need to be improved. As a council member I intend to do my part to and work with the other council members to make New Berlin a better place.
