What do you consider the most important challenge(s) facing your town and how do you plan to address it/them?
What in your personal and/or professional experience prepares you for this office?
What will you do to support a vibrant economy in our community?
How has federal immigration policy affected your town and how would you address it?
How would you protect/improve your town's environmental quality while providing adequate transportation infrastructure and development in your town?
Our community lacks adequate outdoor recreational spaces such as dog parks and walking paths. I will advocate for speed indicators to protect families and enhance safety. Additionally, promoting clean streets through improved signage and enforcement of ordinances will help Rockaway Township continue to be a healthy and welcoming environment.
Having worked in a grammar school for many years, I understand the importance of a strong sense of community. I have also served as a Girl Scout leader and on the Home and School Association, further deepening my involvement. In addition, caring for my elderly father has given me valuable experience supporting people of all ages within the community. I have also been serving on the Rockaway Township Board of Adjustment for many years.
To support a vibrant local economy, I would prioritize promoting and supporting small, local businesses, as well as supporting business expansion into currently underutilized/vacant spaces.
I recognize the importance of ensuring that all residents, regardless of immigration status, feel safe and included.
I will work to further develop parks and recreation, protect green spaces, and promote clean streets through better signage and enforcement of ordinances. The small, but vital transportation infrastructure of Rockaway Township is strong as is and can be balanced with green initiatives.
