But Marian is not content to stop there. She wants to bring her tireless penchant for community improvement to all residents of Chester County. Marian recognizes the increasing appeal that Chester County has as a “bedroom community” to Philadelphia, meaning that people want to live here and commute to work in the city. It is because of this appeal that Marian wants to expand public transportation options that will help connect the more rural areas of our community with towns and urban enclaves. This sort of infrastructure encourages employers to locate in the County and gives residents access to good jobs, which can lend a huge hand to revitalization efforts. “I have seen what it takes to help lift our towns and small businesses with a community-centered approach,” Marian says. “[I] know we must be proactive to ensure the continued success of recently revitalized regions.”

While it is certainly important to connect the County to outside areas to further assist with revitalization through interconnectivity, Marian is also cognizant of the issues that we face within our community. The opioid crisis and environmental sustainability are concerns that Marian promises to address. But she also wants to prioritize care for senior citizens and veterans, which means cutting through the red tape that prevents our senior centers from providing a higher quality of care. For veterans, Marian will make sure our county has the resources we need to start working through the backlog of veterans who are requesting mental health services.

Marian has the vision, expertise, and work ethic to embody the change that she wants to see in our community. In a year when there is the opportunity to put two Democratic candidates on the Board of Commissioners, Marian deserves every consideration as someone who will protect the future of Chester County.
