About US & OUR ISSUES

Franklin Park stands at a pivotal moment. It’s time to restore fiscal discipline and slash wasteful spending so every dollar works harder for our community. By tightening our budget and prioritizing smart investments, we position Franklin Park not just to survive but to thrive in the future.

Public safety isn’t negotiable. We will fully fund our police, fire, and emergency services to keep every family, child, and neighbor secure. Simultaneously, protecting our cherished green spaces preserves the heart and soul of Franklin Park .Our parks and natural areas will be protected to ensure we're aligned with the comprehensive plan and to preserve the borough's top asset, our building green spaces.

Our infrastructure demands urgent attention. Fixing roads, our stormwater issues, and aging infrastructure ensures Franklin Park operates efficiently and safely. We’re committed to modernizing our borough with innovative solutions that preserve the character and ensure a high quality of life for our residents and visitors.

This is a campaign for bold, accountable leadership. Join us in creating a Franklin Park that restores fiscal responsibility, addresses our public safety needs, addresses our deferred infrastructure needs, and protects our green spaces. Together, we’ll build a future that honors today’s needs and tomorrow’s promise.

On November 4th, vote for the future of Franklin Park. Let’s work together, in a bi-partisan manner, to Fix Franklin Park!
