Our Campaign Priorities

Keep Taxes Low

Keeping property taxes low is central to helping Pitman continue to thrive. We will make sure that we can move Pitman forward without affecting our residents' taxes.

Bring Businesses Uptown

Moving Pitman forward means bringing in new business revenue to keep our Uptown vibrant and our residents' taxes low. We will work closely with the Chamber to help bring new businesses in.

Support Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We can only move forward if we do it together. For us, this means supporting the incredibly important work of our DEI Committee to ensure Pitman welcomes and celebrates all.

Why do we serve?
