Expect Great Changes

    About    

Seeking the same solutions to challenges, over and over again with little or no positive results is the proverbial hamster on the wheel. The theme of raising taxes over the last few years also has not had the much sought-after result of making necessary improvements to our Borough. Small town America is a vital asset to our society and we are failing in Stroudsburg. It is time for new ideas and the historically successful process of government working closely with the private sector to formulate constructive policies that improve our economy thereby enhancing our quality of life.

​

As a Monroe County resident for the past 30 years, the last six in Stroudsburg Borough, I have experienced rising taxes resulting in little to no improvements. An active member of the Monroe County community I am privy to the many concerns of our residents. Vacant lots sit empty as well as storefronts resulting in a loss of tax revenue that would ease the burden of residents. Our sidewalks are crumbling and there is a lack of affordable housing for young and elderly alike. Jobs are limited and properties are blighted, and ordinances are not enforced.

​

As your Mayor, I will combine my strong communication skills, work experience, and community involvement to exactly determine our challenges. I will build upon this by strengthening existing relationships and forming open and transparent partnerships with businesses and residents. Together we will create and implement programs that will foster an environment in which we can live, work and play in economic security and safety. Working with all community leaders and listening, truly listening to the concerns of all residents, business owners, landlords, and tenants is the only direction and the right way to get things done. Our borough council, your mayor, and our whole community will work as a team. I can deliver the much-needed focus to bring together the many groups that comprise our neighborhood to work towards and accomplish our goals.

​

I pledge to:

*Have open and transparent communication with our citizens

*Enhance existing and form new, strong partnerships to create an economically sound community

*Solicit new business and investors to help ease our tax burden

*Ensure that codes and ordinances are fairly enforced

*To seek all available grant monies to assist with community projects and sidewalk and road maintenance.
