Endorsements
Why Endorsements Matter, and What Mine Say About This Race
Endorsements often come from elected officials—many of whom put party loyalty first. But for a local role like Township Supervisor, what matters more is common sense and knowledge about our township. This job is about showing up, solving problems, and protecting what makes Maidencreek special… not playing politics. That has its time and place.
While I’m tremendously grateful for the support of respected leaders, I’m even more proud to have earned the trust of the people who live here. Residents and taxpayers who believe in fiscal responsibility and restraint, smart growth, land conservation, and a taxpayer-first approach are backing this campaign because we share the same vision for Maidencreek’s future.
Community Endorsements
Public service means earning the trust of the people you serve. While elected officials can lend credibility, it’s the support of neighbors and lifelong residents that truly validates a campaign like this. I’m proud to have the backing of the very people this role is meant to represent—those who want to preserve what works in Maidencreek and fix what doesn’t.
