There are 3 supervisors for each of our local townships, one being elected every 2 years. The Board of Supervisors is the legislative body of the township in setting policy, enacting and enforcing ordinances and resolutions, adopting budgets, and levying taxes. The Supervisors are responsible for planning and zoning, road maintenance, providing for fire and police protection, hiring employees, and the administration of financial affairs. They are also involved with Central Keystone COG, SEDA-COG, sewer enforcement, recreation, and other affairs affecting the health, safety, and welfare of township residents.Term: 6 years

Running for Township Supervisor wasn’t something I initially planned, but I felt compelled to step up after witnessing decisions that I believe do not reflect the values or best interests of our community. At a highly publicized meeting where the current board voted to pull funding from the Mountville Public Library, I was struck by the thought: We have to do better than this.
Since then, the board has taken further actions, including drafting and enacting a resolution on immigration enforcement that was both hurtful to our legally immigrated neighbors and undermined the outstanding work of our Police Department.
I am running for Township Supervisor because I believe East Hempfield deserves thoughtful, respectful leadership.
The current board has allowed national politics to overshadow local priorities. They passed a non-sanctuary resolution and cut funding for our library. It's time to refocus on what truly matters in East Hempfield. Important issues facing the township are growing attainable housing while maintaining responsible land use, and funding of services like fire and police.
Absolutely. Our elected officials are chosen by us to serve in our best interests. They must listen to the voters who elected them and make decisions that are reasonable and respectful of their constituents' views.

I am running for East Hempfield Township Supervisor to serve my community. We need a new perspective on the board that will bring a sense of empathy and forward looking leadership.
Major challenges for the township include accessible housing, properly funding our emergency services, and preserving agriculture.
Civic engagement is critical. The more voices our leaders can listen to the better their decisions will reflect everyone in our community.
