In the first edition of a five-part series profiling the candidates for State College borough council, we talked with Ron Madrid.
You might recognize the name from his mayoral bid against Elizabeth Goreham in 2013. Madrid is a retired U.S. Marine who has lived in State College for 20 years.
He’s served on a number of borough commissions, including the Planning Commission for eight years, where he was the chair. Madrid has also been the president of the Holmes-Foster Neighborhood Association for the last nine years.
He’s the lone Republican candidate for council, and is stressing bipartisanship as part of his campaign.
