Chester County must continue its commitment to progressive improvement that is done in a fiscally conscientious manner. Nothing attracts good businesses with high paying jobs more than a “can do” attitude where government partners with the community to keep the quality of life high.

Chester County’s quality of life is due to the hard work of many pulling in the same direction. During my campaign last fall, I emphasized that government works best when it is interactive. Government is far from the only catalyst for change in Chester County. We must welcome the remarkable contributions of private citizens and groups. It is not enough simply to listen, but we must continue to dialogue and partner with stakeholder groups and individual citizens in order to make a difference in this County.
