Why United for E-Town
We’re running to bring neighbors together and focus on the basics: safe streets, strong schools, and a vibrant downtown. Local decisions set the budgets and policies you feel every day. When you speak up and vote, the borough listens.
- Respect across differences
- Transparent communication
- Practical, data-informed fixes
Why your voice matters
- Most street and school funding is decided locally.
- Turnout in local races is low, so a few votes can tip outcomes.
- Showing up—at meetings and at the polls—shapes what gets funded.
