My passion and mission in serving as an elected official and public servant is to improve the quality of life for our youth and our seniors. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and an At -Large Councilwoman for twenty years. My vision for the township is to stabilize taxes, expand economic development with smart growth to increase commercial ratables that will ultimately reduce the tax burden on residential taxpayers. My continued focus will be to attract entrepreneurs and restaurants to the Hamilton St Business District to become a lively pedestrian oriented, shopper friendly, retail focused Village Center. I will continue serving on the Franklin Township Redevelopment Agency, which is responsible for assisting the Township of Franklin in the revitalization of the Renaissance Redevelopment Area and the provision of affordable and senior housing.

I want to continue to finish the work I am doing to enhance the Franklin Youth Center at 429 Lewis St near the Franklin Middle School Hamilton St. Campus which serves all youth twelve to nineteen years old with many programs and services. The Youth Center can provide activities such as Debate Clubs, Violence and Delinquency Prevention, Life Skills workshops, Job Readiness Skills Training, Financial Literacy, Mentoring, Substance Abuse Prevention, Community Services Projects, Dance Classes, Video and Music Studios, Career Counseling, and the list goes on and on. I say it over and over we cannot do enough for our youth. I live here in Franklin, I love Franklin and I want to continue to invest in the future of our Township through our Youth and Seniors.
