Candidate Statement:

"I made the decision to run for Oakmont Borough Council out of concern for public safety, after a family tragedy occurred in the borough. I will draw on my experience as a mental health professional to bring forth ideas to ensure that Oakmont is safe for all residents and that the police force is well trained and supported. Infrastructure is also a priority, and I will work to secure the resources necessary to fund public works projects, such as updated roads and proper storm water runoff measures. I am also passionate about sustainability and building on the initiatives implemented by the current borough council. "
