I believe in Phillipsburg and the people who keep it running. Cooperation matters, but only when it is real. True collaboration means staying at the table until solutions take shape, not nodding along just to keep the peace. We owe one another the patience to work things through and the courage to ...

For the past four years, the two Democratic members of Council have often been left out of the process. Too many times, they’ve been blindsided in meetings or denied critical information that their Republican colleagues never shared. That’s not how government should work.We are confident that this ...
