Qualifications I audited public entities, so I have a unique insight into municipal administration.
In today’s world, the most pressing local issue is development. As our town evolves, we must ensure that it does so in a pragmatic manner that improves our quality of life. Uncontrolled development puts pressure on schools, roads, the environment, and our resources leading to increased financial burden. To this end, I will strive to preserve the best aspects of our town.

Qualifications Lower Macungie Board of Commissioners 2013-Present
Financial Stability and Preservation of Open Space. The Board is charged with making sure continued growth is done using Smart Growth principles. The wrong type of development would add additional stress to our infrastructure. I am thankful to have never voted for a tax increase and for helping to preserve over 1000 acres of land during my 12 years in office.
