Neighbors!
I’m Ron, an Independent Lehigh County Commissioner. I also chair the Sterling Raber Lehigh County Farmland Preservation Board. Previously, I served as President of the Lower Macungie Board of Commissioners for 8 years.
During my first term on the Lehigh County BOC:
• No tax increases on Lehigh County residents.
• Surpassed historic milestone of 28,000 acres of preserved farmland on 400+ farms.
• Focus on the service provider aspect of county gov. We provide services for the counties most vulnerable residents.
During 8 years on the Lower Macungie BOC:
• Lower Macungie successfully undertook a historic open space preservation program including the largest preservation effort of its kind in Lehigh County history.
• We reduced residential property taxes in our community.
• We eliminated warehouses from our zoning code. The first Lehigh Valley community to take aggressive steps to protect our quality of life.
• I honored term limit pledge of 8 years.
In 2021 I was proud to be endorsed by Police including Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #40 as well as retiring Commissioner Percy Dougherty. Learn more about me here.
