As 2025 has come to a close, there are still many things to be thankful for and to celebrate. This year in 2026, I begin a four-year term on Bellefonte Borough Council. My successful bid was made possible by the encouragement, support, and advice of many people. Other people opened their doors to meet a stranger and shared their ideas, concerns and laughter. Most importantly, were the people who cast their vote affirming their trust in me to represent them.
In the next year, I plan to open more doors, listen carefully and respectfully to everyone, and actively support our vibrant community. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge everyone who witnessed my swearing-in ceremony on Friday, Jan. 3. It was an event of a lifetime.
