Candidate Questions

1. How do you feel about the township's future development?

I feel that balancing economic growth with livability, sustainability, and fiscal responsibility requires immediate focus. Without a coordinated approach, expanding development risks undermining long-term financial stability and the township’s character.

We must:

• Diversify the economic base to reduce industry dependence and attract local investment
• Manage land use and infrastructure to avoid overburdening public services
• Involve residents in planning to ensure shared ownership and equitable outcomes
• Strengthen civic leadership and staff capacity to execute complex initiatives
• This approach aligns growth with our township’s values and long-term viability.

2. What are your thoughts on political violence in the country?

During Warminster Day on Sept. 27, I experienced firsthand a disturbing escalation in political rhetoric. While standing peacefully at our designated area, someone approached and stated, “As far as I’m concerned, you should all be shot dead.” We were stunned. You see this on the news, but never expect it in your own township.

Political violence, in any form, has no place in our country. We must reject threats and intimidation and recommit to civil discourse. Differing views should never justify aggression. I denounce political violence and encourage respectful dialogue in our community and across our country from all, regardless of party affiliation.

3. What are the biggest challenges to the borough in the future?

Stabilizing our township’s finances is not just necessary — it’s urgent. If entrusted with decision-making, I will prioritize a long-term plan to reduce our debt rather than rely on short-term fixes. This won’t be easy or quick, but it is achievable with discipline and shared commitment.

We also need to shift how we engage with each other. Progress depends on open dialogue, not division. Party lines should not prevent us from working together as neighbors with a common goal: a stronger, more stable community. I would welcome ideas and support as we take steps toward financial responsibility and collaborative leadership.
