I ran for Mayor because I love this community. Because Mieke and I want to see leadership that stands up for our most vulnerable neighbors—including our LGBTQ+ and transgender community. Because we wanted to see investment in bike and pedestrian safety and infrastructure, an increase in housing availability, action on climate change, and a thriving, welcoming Borough where businesses grow, students feel at home, where we help those who need it, and residents of all backgrounds are valued and have a voice. I have presided over Council with a steady hand, fostering dignity, respect, and efficient and effective dialogue and decision-making. I have built relationships with state and federal leaders, ensuring our community has a seat at the table. If you believe in what we've accomplished together, I ask for your support. Let’s continue building a State College that is strong, inclusive, and prepared for the future. Thank you.
