Our region is facing big questions—about infrastructure, public safety, climate resilience, and how local governments can work better together. Since 2020, I’ve focused on making Mt. Lebanon part of the solution while helping lead regional efforts that strengthen all of Southwest Pennsylvania. Through my work on Commission, partnerships with community groups, and a commitment to long-term planning, I’ve seen what’s possible when we think beyond municipal borders and lead with purpose. The challenges are real—but so is the opportunity to build a stronger, more connected future for everyone who calls this region home.
