Commissioner, Hatfield Township Ward 4

As a longtime resident of Hatfield Township, this community holds a special place in my heart, and it would be a true honor to serve on its Board of Commissioners. I bring a unique set of skills and experiences that I believe would greatly benefit our township. With a Master’s degree in Business, I possess a strong understanding of what it takes to foster a thriving local economy—one that supports small businesses and ensures that taxes remain manageable. As a project manager, I’m well-versed in leading complex initiatives and delivering results. Additionally, my current role on the Township’s Planning Commission has provided me with valuable insights into how our township operates and fills the needs of our community. I am eager to contribute to the continued growth and success of Hatfield Township, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve on your Board of Commissioners.

Tax Collector, Hatfield Township

As a 23-year resident of Hatfield and an active community leader, I am deeply committed to serving our township with integrity, accountability, and a vision for progress. With a master’s degree in management and extensive experience in financial oversight, I have dedicated much of my time to public service. I am a lifelong volunteer and currently serve as the President of Hatfield Mosque, where I work to support community programs and strengthen outreach efforts.

Mayor, Hatfield Borough

For over 40 years, I have proudly called Hatfield Borough my home, and since 2022, it has been my great honor to serve as the Mayor. My primary role as Mayor is to connect the Council with our residents; I prioritize this through community events, office hours, and effective communication. I serve on the Public Safety and HEROC Committees and act as the Northern Montgomery County Recycling Commission Secretary. I was excited to introduce the Junior Council Person Program to the Borough, which empowers our local high school students to participate actively in government. I kindly request your support in re-electing me for another four-year term to continue this important work.

Tax Collector, Hatfield Borough

In part because of my extensive background in bookkeeping, I was appointed by the Hatfield Borough Council to complete my predecessor’s Tax Collector term when he decided to resign. After receiving several thank you notes for helping residents with their past issues, which I posted on my office wall as a reminder of the human aspect of the job, I decided to seek my own term as the Hatfield Borough Tax Collector in the 2025 election. I look forward to not only collecting the County, Borough and School taxes during the next four years but also to helping the residents of our community navigate the processes.

Council, Hatfield Borough

I am a graduate of LaSalle University with an MBA in accounting, former president of the Hatfield Area Little League and a resident of Hatfield Borough for over 40 years. Currently I serve as chairman of the Hatfield Economic Revitalization Opportunity Committee and the Utilities Committee and also serve on the Budget, Labor and Finance Committee working to ensure that our annual budget is balanced without undue burden on our residents and ensuring that our borough funds are managed to our advantage in a sound and responsible manner. Together with my wife, the Mayor, we have also introduced a new community welcoming program called Hatfield Hello which is used to acquaint new residents to various civic and social aspects of the Hatfield Borough community.

Council, Hatfield Borough

I have been a lifelong Democrat, and I have campaigned for the local, county, state and presidential candidates including petition signings, phone banking as well door to door knocking. I am a Gwynedd Mercy alumnus. Currently I am working as a healthcare coordinator. I am a mother of a 15 years of beautiful daughter “Samah” and I absolutely love being a paw mother. It has been my dream to serve my community. Hatfield borough is a diverse city which I call my home. As an Asian American, I will be honored to serve my community in every aspect on council.
