A resident of Newtown since 1989, Kris is committed to community causes, volunteering on the facilities committee of Nova of Bucks County; on the boards of the Asian Arts Initiative, the Bridge Academy, and the northern New Jersey chapter of the Urban Land Institute; and as a “big brother” to inner city youth. As former chair of the Newtown Borough Planning Commission, Kris led the effort to adopt our first community Master Plan and modernize the Borough’s zoning ordinance.

“I’m running for Council because I love our Borough and I want to do my part to help it thrive. I sincerely feel that we have a special community here – wonderful people, homes, businesses and institutions that all need each other and benefit from working together. Penny and I have friends whose families have been here for generations; we have friends who just moved in. Everybody has something to contribute. Listening, thinking creatively, talking things through – that’s what has always worked for me professionally and it’s what I believe works best here in the Borough too. We can and should work towards our best possible future without ever losing sight of what we have, and what makes this place unique. I look forward to doing the work and serving to the best of my abilities, always in the interest of our amazing Newtown Borough.”
