FIELDSBORO, NJ -My vision for Fieldsboro is rooted simply in community results for our residents, where residents come first. Leadership that delivers, not promises.
Over the past three years on Council, including my service this year as Council President, I’ve worked tirelessly to modernize Borough operations, increase transparency, and give residents the access and accountability they deserve.
I personally built, uploaded content and completed the Borough website and, for the past year, have continually uploaded agendas, minutes, and public notices to make government information accessible to everyone. I also pushed for and secured online bill payments — a major step forward that now allows residents to pay their taxes and sewer bills easily from home, a service that has grown month after month since it launched in March 2025.
After more than a year and a half of negotiations, I also led the finalization of the lease with the Friends of White Hill Mansion, protecting this historic landmark while saving taxpayer dollars through shared responsibilities and clear terms. These accomplishments show that I don’t just talk about results through action and accountability — I deliver them.
As Mayor, I will continue this record of progress by leading the council to keep taxes low through smart fiscal management and expanded use of grants. These grants will fund vital improvements — including a dedicated police car for safer streets and a new community center that gives residents a place to gather, learn, and connect, all without burdening taxpayers. I will also ensure full transparency in addressing sewer plant issues, using grant funding and union labor to bring our facility into NJDEP compliance, ending the costly cycle of fines that have exceeded $86,000 every few years.
But these grant-funded projects, from fixing the sewer system to establishing the community center, will never be dictated from the top down. They will be guided by residents, through open forums, surveys, and honest discussion about what our community truly needs. My administration will ensure every major decision reflects the will of the people.
With over 20 years of leadership and operations management experience, including overseeing teams of more than 100 people, I know how to fix broken systems, empower others, and hold people accountable. I bring that same discipline and teamwork to Borough Hall because effective leadership isn’t about control, it’s about collaboration and results.
I still believe, and will always believe, in being honest with residents and telling the truth about what needs to be addressed, not for political gain, but so we can work through challenges together and understand what we’re really dealing with.
Every time I walk around Fieldsboro, I’m reminded of how much I love our town. We have such a beautiful community, filled with kind, hardworking, and caring residents who make it feel special. It’s those moments, seeing neighbors wave, kids playing, or someone taking pride in their front yard, that remind me why I fight so hard.
Together, we can keep Fieldsboro safe, transparent, and financially strong — a town where every resident’s voice is heard and every dollar is spent wisely.
Bluntly, if we don’t have a strong turnout on Election Day, the status quo will prevail. And if that happens, we’ll wake up in 2030 facing the very same problems we have today. If our community truly wants reform, we must step up, roll up our sleeves, and focus on solving real issues, not personalities or distractions meant to divide us.
Thank you to the kind and honest supporters, new and old, for standing with me. I’m still standing because I believe in the good in our town and in doing what’s right, no matter how hard it gets.
I want peace for our community, through honesty, integrity, and a shared commitment to do good for all of us with an open government for all to participate in.
