Why I am running

I, along with my wife and three children, are proud to call Hampden Township our home. If you are a resident as well, you might have noticed lately that business in Hampden Township is adapting to COVID-19 . Our business owners are tenaciously striving to succeed. In almost every open space buildings are slowly rising or being re-developed. While this growth and redevelopment presents many exciting opportunities, it also brings new challenges – poorly thought-out development, over-crowding, increasing traffic congestion and failing infrastructure. I am running for Hampden Commissioner because I, like many other residents, are concerned about how this growth and the changing tax base will impact those of us who make Hampden Township our home.

I plan to work collaboratively with township staff and the Board of Commissioners to address issues proactively and responsively in a culturally sensitive and fiscally responsible fashion. As we address these issues, I believe we can work together to build a safe and sustainable plan for the future of our community.

I believe open and transparent communication between residents and the Commissioners is key. With the construction of our new township building I would like to see township meetings broadcast online and publicly archived. When plans for business and housing development are approved or community services are changed, I will help communicate the rationale behind the township’s decision and work to make sure decisions are implemented fairly for all of our community’s increasingly diverse residents. I’m asking for your vote for Hampden Township Commissioner.
