"I am running for Council At-Large in the Township of Hillside because this is my home. Born and raised here, I know firsthand the pride and potential of our community, as well as the challenges we face. I am committed to bringing transparency, accountability, and real solutions to town government so that Hillside can thrive. Together, we can keep our neighborhoods clean and safe, ensure responsible spending, and create opportunities that benefit every resident. This campaign is more about politics—it’s about restoring trust and reclaiming the pride that we once had in Hillside. With your support, we can move Hillside Forward."
