As a candidate for auditor of East Norriton, Montgomery County, I believe East Norriton deserves better than a corrupt two party system. Two years ago, 1,092 voters put their trust in us to build towards that goal. We didn’t win then, but we built enough strength to make this year’s three-way race winnable with a plurality. We met hundreds of voters who were excited about the alternative that we are offering, and the path from 30% to victory is a path we know we can walk if we work together. Continue reading
