Position Papers
Combatting Crime, Strengthening Health and Security
I will work to strengthen the safety, security and health of local residents through partnerships with local law enforcement, emergency responders, county health organizations, and hospitals.
Combatting the FAA's Flight Plan Redesign
The Federal Aviation Administration's plan to significantly alter flight patterns over Delaware County will increase air traffic over local communities, resulting in drastic increases in noise pollution and place local residents at increased risk. I will work with my running mates -- Andy Lewis and Christine Fizzano Cannon -- to combat the FAA's proposal.
Fiscal Responsibility, Experience, and Keeping Taxes Low
I have never voted for a tax increase as a Springfield Township Commissioner and will bring that same commitment to fiscal responsibility to Delaware County Council.
