Municipal OfficesAfter more than 10 years of analysis, design, engineering, and financial planning, Byram finally has bid-ready architectural plans and specifications for construction. The Council has put the final decision on the renovation of the Municipal Building in the hands of the voters. I strongly support the referendum and encourage all of my fellow residents to vote for this solution to our many long-standing problems with our police and administrative buildings.

Parks and Recreation PlanI have been directly involved in active recreation in Byram for 25 years, and through my participation on the Open Space Committee for the past 23 years, Byram has increased both the quantity and quality of our recreational fields and trails. We have also renovated both Riverside Park and Neil Gylling Park, and we have extensive plans for the renovation of C.O. Johnson Park, including a dog park, a renewed basketball court, additional parking, walking paths, trails, and the repair of field CO#8 for use by all sports.

Route 206Over the past four years Byram has seen significant increases in investments along our commercial Route 206 corridor. I have been thrilled to participate in multiple grand opening ceremonies for all of these businesses that proudly call Byram home, and I look forward to additional development along this business district to keep Byram economically vibrant long into the future.

The Man In The Arena
Theodore Roosevelt
"Citizenship In A Republic"
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because
there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
