I want residents to be informed on what matters are before the Town Council. Feedback from residents is essential for strong local government. When I ran for office, I promised residents I would keep them informed on what the Council was voting on and issues facing our community. Since I took office in 2019, I have provided summaries of key decisions and issues discussed at Council Meetings on Facebook. Now, I have expanded those updates to this platform to ensure more residents have access to my summaries.

On March 9th we had a jammed packed agenda. Here is a summary of major action that was taken by the Verona Township Council.

Special Statement Made During Councilmember reports
The following is a statement I read during my Councilmember report on January 5, 2026. Tonight is the end of what is normally a two year cycle of five members of the town council serving together. This time, because we moved our elections, we got an extra 6 months together. It's a good time to be reflective on what is going well and where we have opportunities for improvement. I want to thank all of my colleagues for their dedication and the time spent serving our community.
