Qualifications for Office
Concerned and engaged citizen committed to protecting the environment and restoring transparency on the Board of Pocono Township
My commitment to the people of Pocono Township is to protect the environment, restore transparency, and strengthen our Police Department and Fire Company.
Our board approved a warehouse that will harm our environment and is in a terrible location. They will clear cut trees and pollute into the Pocono Creek, while also ruining the quality of life for nearby residents. And recently, they voted to allow encroachment of our wetlands that are so precious.
I strongly oppose these decisions and will ensure citizens have a voice through me on the Board when I get elected. Development must be smart and responsible, while preserving the character of Pocono Township.
For increased transparency, residents deserve multiple ways to participate in meetings. I also support allowing public comment after each line item, not just before and after meetings.
I promise to be accessible and responsive to each resident, whether they voted for me or not.
Join me to fight for the future of the Poconos.
