I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the tremendous support I received Election Day. Thank you for allowing me to serve the residents of Harrison, for another term, as mayor/supervisor on Harrison’s Town Board. It has been an honor to represent you and I will do my best to make your concerns my concerns.
There have been many successes the last several years but we still have work to do. As we look to the future, and face the challenges that lie ahead, I would like to encourage all of residents to get involved. The Town Board and I will continue to do everything we can to serve the interests of the Town/Village of Harrison so please come out and support the many exciting events that will take place over the coming years.
