Why Do You Want a Spot on the Baldwin Borough Council?: "To continue the forward movement of our borough. It is my hope that I have proved my sincerity in representing the people of Baldwin Borough. I'm proud that the number of paved street miles has increased and Public Safety meetings have been initiated. The mayor and the emergency management co-coordinator attended these meetings, which incorporated our police department, volunteer fire companies, Baldwin Emergency Medical Services and Public Works."

What Are the Two or Three Issues Facing Baldwin Borough That You Care the Most About and Plan to Address?: "To increase the amount of police officers by adding two officers. This will ensure not only the safety of our Baldwin Borough residents but also the safety of our police officers. Current council has increased our police department by one additional officer with the possibility of adding another. Council is attempting to consolidate four volunteer fire companies to three. This will enable the companies to be better manned and to run more efficiently and effectively when responding to alarms. Lastly, tighten our belts and keep our financial house in order."

Are You Married? Do You Have Children? If So, How Many?: "Married. Two children."
