2. Why are you running for Township Supervisor?
3. Fluoridation in public water supplies has been studied by many agencies over many years. In Oct 2024, a federal court ruled that fluoride exposure poses a hazard to human health and ordered the EPA to respond. In Pennsylvania, decisions about fluoride in the water supplies are assigned to local government. What are your thoughts about the best way to manage this at the local level?

I hold a college degree, have been a lifelong small business owner, and currently serve on the Maidencreek Water and Sewer Board. I’m a cofounder of Friends of the Fleetwood Playground, Inc., and served 8 years on the Fleetwood Library Board. My experience in leadership, budgeting, and community service has prepared me to serve as Township Supervisor with dedication and practical know-how.
I'm running for Maidencreek Township Supervisor because I care about our community. As a small business owner and lifelong resident of Berks County, I’ve raised my family here and understand the needs of our families. My priorities are fixing flooding, expanding parks and recreation, improving public safety through better community-police outreach, and ensuring we continue seeing positive community growth. I’m committed to listening, working hard, and leading with heart—because Maidencreek deserves leadership that puts people first.
I support the use of fluoride in public water systems because it is backed by decades of sound science and helps prevent tooth decay. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral, and when used responsibly, it contributes to better public health. I agree with Pennsylvania’s more conservative drinking water standard of 2.0 mg/l and believe in maintaining fluoride levels well below that threshold. At Maidencreek Township Authority, our typical fluoride range of 0.25–0.60 mg/l reflects a cautious, health-conscious approach. I support following expert recommendations and believe regular monitoring and research is essential to ensure safe, effective levels that protect our residents.
