Our city faces unique challenges, and the solutions to those problems should come from people who understand them best: Allentonians.

"Allentown deserves a chance to write its own story"

We should empower our citizens to address those issues, and that takes vision and good leadership. I will ask our people to get involved with making change in our communities, and we should listen to those people.

The only way to hear what people are saying is to be available to them. I will attend meetings of community groups, neighborhood watches, church groups and more to understand what people in the community want and work with them to accomplish those desires.

Together, we can improve opportunities for our youth, prepare people for the jobs of the future, preserve our quality of life, strengthen public safety, and ensure quality housing for Allentonians.
