Restoring Common Sense, Fiscal Responsibility, and Respect
Our township is at a turning point. With your support, we can restore transparency, fiscal responsibility, and leadership that puts all of our residents first.
My campaign isn't about one person - it's about protecting and preserving the community we all love.

GET TO KNOW DONNA
A Lifelong Resident with Deep Community Roots
I'm proud to call Lower Saucon Township home - it's where I grew up, built my life with my husband, and continue to serve. I've spent my career helping others as a healthcare professional and realtor (now retired). I enjoy knitting, cooking, walking our two beloved Australian Labradoodles, and exploring the scenic, rural community with my husband.
Public service isn't new to me. In 2013, I began volunteering as a resident liaison on the township's Landfill Committee, which led me to my first term on township council in 2015. During that term, I helped get the township debt-free and served on both the Fire Services Committee and Landfill Committee. I returned as a Fire Service resident liaison in 2023.
Now, I'm stepping forward again because I believe our township's future is on the line.

Priorities
TO MOVE LOWER SAUCON TOWNSHIP FORWARD
Fiscal Responsibility
Lower Saucon's financial health is under threat. Approximately 30% of our budget now relies on landfill host agreement fees. We need to bring accountability and transparent financial practices back to council, while ensuring long-term financial stability for the township, without further burdening the taxpayers.
Fire Service & Public Safety
Public safety is a cornerstone of any strong community. As a council liaison to the Fire Services Committee, I worked directly with our local volunteers to plan for a reliable and sustainable future for fire protection in Lower Saucon.
Landfill Oversight & Environmental Integrity
I've spent years learning landfill operations alongside township engineers and studying PA DEP regulations. While I oppose landfill expansion, closures only happen through DEP action - not public opinion. That's why we need smart, informed, leadership that holds landfill operators accountable and protects residents' quality of life.
Township Operations & Staffing
Our current staffing model is broken. Zoning enforcement is outsourced, leaving resident concerns unanswered. Office staff are overworked, handling multiple roles. This isn't sustainable - or fair to taxpayers. I will push for a strong and properly staffed township.
