• Willingboro, NJ

My Platform

My platform for this election will continue to focus on the work that my colleagues and I have already begun, and which goes hand in hand with our strategic plan.

Fiscal Responsibility

As a policy maker, I understand the importance of balanced budgets, cutting wasteful spending, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. I will prioritize economic growth, tax stability, and responsible financial management to ensure a strong and stable future for Willingboro.

For the past four years we have maintained a zero-tax increase, and we are projected to have a flat budget this year. This is all being done while we continue to enhance the quality of life for our residents by prioritizing a number of attractions. Plans are underway to introduce the Willingboro Performing Arts Center (WPAC), JFK Center upgrades which includes expansion of our senior center, multipurpose turf sports field with a collegiate level track to host meets, brand new pickle ball courts at Millcreek Park. This year we had the honor of renaming Sportsman Field to Lizzie Mae Morris Memorial Field. These are just a few of the projects that are currently being worked on.

Safety

Public safety is a top priority. I will continue to work to support law enforcement, invest in crime prevention strategies, and ensure first responders have the resources they need to keep our community safe. By fostering strong community partnerships and advocating for smart policies, I will continue to promote safety while respecting civil liberties and building trust between citizens and law enforcement.

· We established a new traffic unit within the Willingboro Police Department along with hiring five new officers for a total of 70 police officers.
· We initiated a gunshot detection program through a $99,000 grant, implementing Sound Thinking technology to enhance community safety.
· Hired four full-time EMT’s and one supervising EMT to provide emergency services during the daytime shift, which allows us to provide coverage for seven days a week and expand our emergency services to increase our emergency response time.
· In the state of New Jersey there are 507 police departments with 31 of them being state accredited. Willingboro has been able to sustain its accreditation status for the last 12 years, after being one of the first police departments to achieve this goal.

Infrastructure / Sustainability

Infrastructure is the backbone of the Willingboro community. I will continue to champion improvements to roads, sidewalks, buildings, and energy saving opportunities, ensuring that our community is connected, efficient, and prepared for the future. By prioritizing smart investments and leveraging innovation, we will continue to work to create infrastructure that serves both residents and businesses.

Sustainability and economic prosperity go hand in hand. I am committed to promoting clean energy solutions, protecting natural resources, and supporting policies that create long-term environmental and economic benefits. By investing in renewable energy, conservation initiatives, and green technology, we will continue to build a future that is both prosperous and environmentally responsible

· Delivered timely repairs for critical infrastructure failures, including Pennypacker and Van Sciver sinkholes and outfall repair at Charleston Road.
· Advanced significant drainage and road projects, such as Eagle Lane drainage improvements and Holston Lane rehabilitation.
· Transitioned to LED lighting in collaboration with PSE&G, reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
· Adopted ordinances and projects to address storm water management, tree conservation, and energy efficiency.

ONCE AGAIN, ALL OF THESE INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT RAISING OUR MUNICIPAL TAXES!!!

This campaign is not just about one person: it’s about all of us coming together to create real, and lasting change.

I humbly ask for your support, your voice, and your vote on June 10th. Together, we can continue to make Willingboro a place where everyone has an opportunity to succeed, where families thrive, and where our community stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when people come together for the common good.

Thank You!

Let’s build a stronger Willingboro for all to thrive in 2025
