Experience
Served as Bucks County Controller from 2018-2022, prior career in Commercial Insurance and Finance
I had the privilege of serving as the Bucks County Controller from 2018 to 2022. During my term while serving as the financial watchdog for the county taxpayers we were able to increase the number of audits of row offices, tax collectors, and county departments. These comprehensive audits uncovered financial discrepancies, helped improved operations, and protected taxpayer dollars. I commissioned investigations that uncovered waste and wage theft and allowed us to claw back tax payer money so that it was allocated appropriately.
Based on my successful record as Bucks County Controller from 2018 to 2022 I believe I am the best person for the job. While serving as the financial watchdog for county taxpayers I helped improve the productivity and efficiency in the Controller's office and would like to expand on that work with another term. County taxpayers and residents deserve a Controller who leads the way in expanding the number of audits of row offices, county departments and tax collectors, one who uncovers waste and inefficiency and demands accountability across county government operations. I was very effective in this office on behalf of Bucks County taxpayers and residents, and I want to continue this work.
