If elected, I will seek to bring businesses into our borough, create opportunities for community involvement, and work on our infrastructure.
•I will work with the mayor to entice businesses and business owners to take up shop in Avalon. Our borough has a lot of potential and it’s about time we show it.
•By listening to the people in our community we can find new and exciting ways for them to be involved. Without listening to them, we can never know what really concerns them and try to fix their problems.
•I will work with the DPW and the other members of council to seek out grants to help fix our roads and sidewalks.
In previous situations, I have found that people are more likely to agree when they sit down and talk to each other. We agree on a lot more than we let out, and if we sit down and talk it out, we’ll find more common ground than we think. I will work with anyone, Democrat, Republican, and Independent, to get Avalon the resources it needs. If it means making our community better, I am all for it.
Qualifications for office
Councilmember for Borough of Avalon - 4 years, Chair of Finance Committee - 2 years
My top three priorities for Borough of Avalon Councilmember are as follows:
1. Maintaining Fiscal Responsibility: Ensuring the Borough continues to operate efficiently without increasing taxes, as has been the practice for the past 10 years.
2. Supporting Strategic Growth: Expanding Avalon’s reach by offering services to neighboring communities, fostering regional collaboration and strengthening our local presence. Services such as police and public works.
3. Pursuing Grant Opportunities: Actively seeking and securing grant funding to help offset operating costs and reduce the financial burden on residents.
With an operating budget of approximately $3.5 million, there is no room for discretionary or unnecessary spending. Every decision must be made with the Borough’s best interests in mind. As the current Chair of the Finance Committee, I approach each financial matter with a focus on necessity, value, and long-term impact—carefully weighing needs versus wants.
As a Councilmember, I’m not only a decision-maker but also a fellow resident. My family and I live in this community and are directly impacted by the same policies and financial decisions as every other household.
