Meet Media Borough Council Candidate: Lisa Johnson

Positions Held Previously/Years in Office:  None

What are the larger issues facing the municipality and how would you like to see them resolved?

Media has become a wonderful place to live, work, and visit through the hard work and dedication of many over the years. The goal is to continue this positive direction and improve the lives of those that live, work and visit our town. The challenge is to avoid complacency and instead remain focused. This is the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan currently being updated. An issue facing Media is the limited input received by the residents into the Comprehensive Plan. We need to hear many ideas and work together to find solutions.

Would you welcome more transparency with the taxpayers? How could you make that possible?

This is the reason I decided to run for election. I believe we can ALWAYS improve communications. The more information is shared, the better the solutions we create. I hope to be part of the solution to get information out to the stakeholders of Media in a timely and comprehensive way.

If elected, what changes would you like to see in the municipality or what is working well and you'd like to continue?

I am a member of the Comprehensive Plan Task Force and would like to see the recommendations created through this process considered by the borough council and implemented in a thoughtful manner.

Why should residents give you their vote?

I consider myself a thoughtful, dedicated, and hard working person who is interested in continuing the good work executed by many in our borough and helping to improve those issues we deem important. I would be honored to be elected by the voters of Media to accomplish these goals.
