Why We Are Running


In Washington Township, we believe that a single perspective should never dictate the future of our community. For too long, a political monoculture has shaped our local governance, often overlooking the diverse needs and voices within our town. We are running together because we share a commitment to broadening our town's leadership vision to reflect and respond to all community members, not just a select few.


Our approach is inspired by Abraham Lincoln's leadership during his first term as President. Lincoln famously assembled a "team of rivals," bringing together a diverse group of leaders who had once opposed him. This was not just about unity, but about harnessing a wide range of insights and opinions to inform robust, well-rounded decisions.


Similarly, we aim to foster a collaborative, inclusive governance model for Washington Township. By integrating diverse perspectives and experiences, we can ensure that every decision we make is informed, balanced, and considers the well-being of every resident.


Together, we pledge to transform our township's leadership into a dynamic, responsive, and inclusive body. Join us as we work towards a governance that champions diversity of thought and robust dialogue, ensuring a prosperous future for all members of our community.
