Dear Gloucester Township Residents,
As your candidate for Mayor, I’m committed to delivering a transparent, accountable, and community-driven government that puts residents first. To hit the ground running on January 1, 2026, I’m forming a Volunteer Transition Team to help prepare for effective, inclusive governance. This team of dedicated experts and community members will help shape policies to address critical priorities: revitalizing our sewer utility, improving redevelopment processes, ensuring fiscal responsibility, strengthening public safety, enhancing fire service coordination, and increasing efficiency in public works. Together, we’ll build a Gloucester Township that works for everyone.
We’re seeking volunteers with expertise in the following areas:
- Municipal Utility Authority Expert: Guide the revitalization of our sewer utility to maintain public control and ensure efficient, cost-effective operations that protect ratepayers.
- Municipal Finance Expert: Review budgets, bonding, and borrowing to protect Gloucester Township’s long-term financial health and promote responsible spending.
- Redevelopment Authority Expert: Help ensure redevelopment serves the community’s needs with fair, transparent, and public-interest-driven processes.
- Community Development Specialist: Promote responsible growth aligned with our Master Plan, infrastructure needs, and residents’ priorities.
- Public Safety Expert: Support our police department through fair, transparent, and community-supported policies. Our commitment includes maintaining full funding and resources for public safety.
- Fire Service Coordination Expert: Explore ways to improve coordination among fire districts to enhance safety and response, while respecting the work of our dedicated firefighters and ensuring no cuts to essential services.
- Public Works Operations Expert: Identify ways to improve transparency, planning, and efficiency—while supporting the hardworking employees who keep our township running.
