I am running for a position on the Borough Council to make positive changes in our community. I am willing to listen to anyone on any subject concerning the borough with an open mind.
Our town is a community that should have everyone’s interests considered not just a select few. We need to progress such as seeking available money such as grants and funding rather than always raising taxes.
A number of seats on boards representing the Greencastle-Antrim community are up for election this year.
People interested in running for any of the posts can request a candidates packet from the Franklin County Commissioners.
Nominating petitions need to be returned to the commissioners office by 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, for names to be included on the ballot in the May 18 primary election, which will narrow the field for the general election on Nov. 2.
This year s election covers more than half of the seats on the nine-member Greencastle-Antrim School Board. This includes four-year positions currently held by Pat Fridgen, Lindsey Mowen, Mark Chimel and Scott Hart, as well as a two-year seat filled by Charles Ford.
