Government should work for everyone.

Our team spends every day making Scranton city government work as hard as the people we serve. We believe our city belongs to everyone, not just a connected few.

And the results are clear. Under our leadership, the City of Scranton has:

• fought to lower costs for residents, successfully cutting in half a proposed water rate increase in 2024, achieving budget surpluses each year, and not raising taxes in 2025;

• cut red tape and promoted economic growth, including substantially lowering permit fees;

• achieved an investment-grade credit rating and exited “distressed” status;

• increased transparency and operational efficiency through technology and training;

• invested in our police force, adding officers, improving recruiting and training, and strengthening law enforcement partnerships;

• added resources to youth and gang violence prevention, working in concert with county and school district officials as well as community partners;

• reinvigorated neighborhoods with parks upgrades and new amenities, attention to road safety, and better code enforcement;

• focused on small business with programs that boost wages, remake building facades, and promote entrepreneurship; and

• cultivated community partnerships to better serve all residents, including fighting hunger more effectively, supporting our veterans, celebrating the arts, and adding new festivals throughout the year.

We have come a long way, but there is more to do. With your support, we will continue to raise the bar and make Scranton an example of how local government can be a force for good.
