Most Important Issues

Boroughs have unique issues since they have denser population areas and an older infrastructure. Public safety is always a priority. Supporting our police department, Perkasie Fire Company No. 1, and our first responders requires fiscal responsibility and teamwork from all elected officials. Advocating with PennDOT is critical, since it owns our major roads.

Perkasie is in a strong fiscal position thanks to our low taxes, low debt, and our well-managed Electric department. Perkasie, like other municipalities, will face potential electric price hikes due to national trends, which will require budget discipline to avoid hurting residents. Economic development is another key issue.

As Historic Committee chair, I am leading the effort to get Perkasie on the National Register of Historic Places, which will help local businesses get tax credits, façade grants and improve property values.

Why I Am Running for Office

"I feel a strong obligation to represent our residents and taxpayers fairly, and to ask the uncomfortable questions to need to be asked to make sure Perkasie is a well-managed borough.

Related Background:

In my eight years on council, I have learned to become a leader from more experienced people and about how to understand our residents and taxpayers, and put their needs first. I have the most experience in elected office of any Perkasie borough council candidate this year, and I feel the need to help newer candidates become successful if elected as a mentor.
