It is an honor to serve my fellow residents as the mayor of Chester Township! While respecting what has made Chester Township a top destination to raise families, I plan to build on our strengths ensuring that families continue to choose Chester for generations to come.

I hope to continue our work to position Chester as as not only a destination for families, but a destination for generations of families. It begins with excellent, safe schools for our children. It also means recreation opportunities for both children and adults alike. And finally, it means a vibrant community for our seniors.

We will accomplish this with a sharp eye and fiscal responsibility. I intend to provide value for every tax dollar. 

As mayor, the council and I must also navigate some serious challenges. Inflation has made everything more expensive. I’m sure you see it in your weekly grocery bills. We continue to receive ever-increasing mandates without any funding from our state government. Healthcare costs also are increasing yearly.

That being said, I am hugely optimistic for our future!

As mayor, my top priorities are to:

1. Deliver responsible budgets that maintain the services you’ve come to expect in the most cost efficient manner possible. 
2. Increase government efficiency. With efficiency comes quicker response times, delivering government services promptly and much more cost effectively.
3. Protect and promote our cherished open space. 
4. Provide quality recreation opportunities for residents of all ages.
