My family and I have been active members of the Monroe Township community for more than two decades. I have been honored to serve as at-large councilman beginning in 2011 and council president from 2017 through 2019. It is now my distinct honor to serve as Mayor of the town I love. Taking the oath of office during the council’s January 20 meeting was a moment I will always treasure.
Taking on the responsibilities of Mayor during a national pandemic certainly presents unique challenges and I am fighting every day to get increased quantities of the coronavirus vaccine to Monroe as soon as possible. I take this very seriously and I will make sure our voice is heard. I am extremely thankful to our municipal staff, as well as the township’s emergency responders and volunteers, who continue to assist residents during the lingering pandemic.
Beyond the pandemic, transparency, collaboration and civic dialogue in my administration are paramount. One of my top priorities, and a way to aid transparency, is to engage with more community members and get them involved in their local government. It is imperative that we all work together toward the betterment of Monroe Township regardless of political affiliation. The Township Council and I want to see as many active participants in township government as possible.
