Re-elect Karen Koronkiewicz and Elect Miles Gilmore for Chatham Borough Council

As residents of Chatham Borough, we have the privilege — and responsibility — to elect leaders who embody the values we hold dear: environmental stewardship, inclusivity, and open, honest communication. That’s why I am proud to support Karen Koronkiewicz for reelection to a third term on the Chatham Borough Council and Miles Gilmore for his first term. Both candidates have demonstrated through words and actions that they are dedicated to serving all residents of our town with thoughtfulness, integrity, and vision.

Karen and Miles share a deep commitment to protecting and enhancing Chatham’s natural environment. Both have served on the Borough’s Shade Tree Commission, where they have worked to preserve our community’s tree canopy, ensure responsible planting practices, and maintain the natural beauty that defines our neighborhoods. They understand that environmental responsibility is not just about aesthetics — it’s about sustainability, public health, and quality of life. Karen’s long record of support for green initiatives, combined with Miles’s enthusiasm for expanding Chatham’s environmental programs, ensures that our town will continue to prioritize clean air, green spaces, and forward-thinking policies to address the challenges of a changing climate.

In addition to their environmental leadership, Karen and Miles are committed to making Chatham a community where everyone feels welcome and valued. They have both been strong supporters of local diversity and inclusion initiatives, recognizing that our town’s strength lies in its people — people of all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. Karen has championed programs that foster understanding and connection across differences, while Miles brings a fresh perspective and a strong belief in civic engagement that represents the next generation of community leadership. Their shared vision of a more inclusive Chatham reflects the best of who we are — a community that listens, learns, and grows together.

Perhaps most importantly, both candidates have shown a willingness to engage directly with residents. Karen and Miles have been knocking on doors, meeting neighbors, and listening to the concerns of residents across the Borough. They are not leaders who hide behind slogans or social media posts — they are communicators who believe that real dialogue matters. Whether the topic is taxes, zoning, or community safety, neither Karen nor Miles shies away from tough conversations. They approach discussions with respect, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand the perspectives of others.

Chatham deserves leaders who are informed, compassionate, and unafraid to do the hard work of collaboration. Karen Koronkiewicz’s proven record of public service and Miles Gilmore’s energy and fresh ideas make them an ideal team to guide our Borough forward.

On Election Day, let’s continue the progress and the values that make Chatham strong. Please vote for Karen Koronkiewicz and Miles Gilmore for Chatham Borough Council — leaders who care, listen, and deliver.

Sincerely,
Irene Treloar
Chatham Borough Council Member
