🌟 Faith, Service, Progress 🙏🏛️
Friends, I am humbly asking for your vote today. I am a lifelong New Bethlehem resident with nearly 15 years in local government, and my heart is to serve our town with integrity and care.
✅ Gumtown Park: preserved and moving toward revitalization with thousands of dollars raised for a new playground 🛝
✅ Public safety and utilities: strengthening regional policing and advancing water and sewer upgrades for our borough and nearby townships 🚔💧
✅ Infrastructure: advocating the Penn Street Bridge replacement and better Route 28 access to support local jobs, including at Smucker’s 🛠️
✅ Modern, transparent codes: digitized ordinances and smart updates that encourage redevelopment while honoring our small-town charm 🏘️
Beyond my work in local government, I am a local business owner and serve as a pastor for three local churches. I volunteer on numerous community organizations and as a first responder with the New Bethlehem Fire Company. With God’s help, my goal is safe streets, good jobs, and a strong, neighborly community. ✝️
Stay informed with my Monthly Mayor’s Reports and community updates: NewBethlehemBoro.com/mayor and GordonBarrows.com/mayor.
*Reelecting Gordon Barrows will continue allowing the New Bethlehem area and Redbank Valley community to be a great place to work, live, and raise a family.
