Hightstown Borough Council Candidate Profile: John Archer

Name: John Archer
Party: Republican 
Running for: 3 year term

Why are you running for council?
I have been a lifelong resident of the Borough of Hightstown and have seen how we have progressed to this point. I think now is a time that we need what I have to offer.

What are the three issues most important to you?

1. Improving the revenue streams to Hightstown.
2. Quality of life issues /code enforcement
3. Stabilize taxes without losing any more services

All of these issues are important to every Hightstonian.  We are viable and sustainable. We have to investigate all of our options and not quit.

Why should residents vote for you?
I have served Hightstown in one way or another for over thirty years. First as a volunteer fireman and then fifteen years as a foreman for the Hightstown Public Works Dept. I have a good working knowledge of Hightstown’s infrastructure and the problems and possible solutions therein. My many years as chief of the fire department and my current employment afford me a big edge on handling municipal budgets and their process. I love Hightstown and have put my money where my mouth is for over thirty years.  I have stepped up to the plate and will continue to do so if I am elected. I do have a proven track record.
