What do you see as the biggest issue Marlboro is facing, and how will you resolve it?
Marlboro’s biggest issue is over development and infrastructure. To resolve it, I would focus on reducing overdevelopment, working to “fix” the Affordable Housing mandates and working with county officials to help fix Route 18 congestion at the intersection on County Route 3, Route 520 and Route 79. Increasing utility bills, working with state elected officials regarding these increases, as they are fighting for us in Trenton.

What are past accomplishments or experiences that make you qualified for this position?
As a two-term council president, I worked on:

• Upgrading the 911 dispatch system for faster emergency response time for the safety of residents.
