1) Public safety through implementation of our Police Chief’s 5-Year Plan, hiring additional career fire-fighters, and continued financial support of Muhlenberg Ambulance Assoc.
2) Easing tax burdens on residents by continued financial growth via redevelopment of our business corridors, and continued community improvement via stricter codes enforcement.
3) Market Muhlenberg as a destination to live, work, and play via support for community programs like RiverFest and improvements to our roads.
Recent studies regarding the ill effects of fluoridation have provided mixed, not conclusive, results, while fluoridation’s benefits are proven. So, despite the ruling, more research is needed before an unbiased decision can be reached. For now, the balanced approached is to minimize the amount added to ensure good oral health. Should conclusive results prove ill effects outweigh the benefits, I would favor removal. For clarity’s sake, water supply is overseen by the Muhlenberg Twp Authority.

I am committed to providing the best, top-quality, services that the residents of Muhlenberg Township need - all without straining the budget. With a Masters in Public Policy combined with years of experience in government service, I have the knowledge and experience to examine our budget status and provide real solutions without straining the pockets of Muhlenberg Township residents.
1. Public Safety - sustainable funding for our police department, fire department, and EMS services.
2. Smart Community Development & Infrastructure - Muhlenberg Township is growing, however - as even the school district has noted with their recent tax increase, it is putting strains on our services. We need a comprehensive approach to community development moving forward.
3. Fiscal Responsibility & Transparency - we need a zero-based budgeting approach with every dept justifying their budgets.
My understanding is that the court cited concerns, especially regarding the potential reduction in children's IQ. As a father of two, that's concerning and we need to take a closer look at this. It is my understanding that this decision would ultimately rest with the Muhlenberg Township Authority (which the Commissioners appoint) - but I would be a vocal advocate for any concerns regarding fluoride in drinking water and explore further options if those concerns went unresolved.
