Why I am running:

I am running for Mayor to offer a representative voice to Berkeley Heights. One to protect the tax payers and to represent all of the residents. Berkeley Heights absolutely needs a problem solver who can provide solutions and question initiatives that may not have the residents best interest at heart. I will approach the job honestly and with integrity and humility.

I will focus on two main initiatives:

Reduction of Municipal Taxes Improvement of Communication / Transparency

It is important to have someone who can offer a different perspective creating a smaller governement and focusing on lowering taxes.

I will do all I can to greatly improve communication and transparency. It is imprerative that the Town Government do as much as it can to ensure that people who are interested get the level of information that they desire.

It would be my honor to serve Berkeley Heights. I will bring ideals of Liberty and Prosperity to the Council. It is my honor running to serve Berkeley Heights.
