I have been a resident of Newtown Township since 1995 and a Newtown Supervisor from October 2017 though December 2025 (8 years). 2026 marks the close of my time serving as a Supervisor, and I want to use this moment to express my deep gratitude to the residents of this community. It has truly been an honor to serve you, to be your voice on as a Supervisor, and to work every day with the belief that local government functions best when it is transparent, accountable, and open to the people it represents.

As I step away from the dais, I’m not stepping away from Newtown. I will continue to support transparency, good governance, and resident involvement in every way I can. My hope is that the work we do together continues to strengthen the connection between the governing Board and the public it serves.

Newtown Creek Pedestrian Bridge Rebid Questions

In response to bidder inquiries and budgetary requirements, the project has categorized various components into Base Bid and Add/Alternate items. Howell Engineering has answered several questions from potential bidders. I summarize a few important ones with my concerns below (see Responses to Bidder Questions #2 (REBID) ...).

! have several concerns regarding the cheaper structural features such as wood piling foundations vs reinforced concrete and wood post wire mesh railings vs aluminum railings with Steel mesh panels.

“Our founders wanted us to know what our government represen-tatives are doing. They knew that a healthy press is essential to a healthy democracy—and it’s worked for almost 250 years.” – Bucks County Herald. Also important, IMHO, is for elected government representatives to keep citizens they represent well informed.
