For Mayor

I have called Montvale home for most of my life having grown up on Montvale Avenue, attended Montvale schools and graduated from Pascack Hills High School. When my husband, Jan Eggers and I were looking for a place to raise our two little girls, we knew Montvale was the place. We bought our dream house on Hillcrest Avenue in 2011.

Over the years I’ve met so many Montvale residents. I’ve heard one common theme, we all want our voices to be heard. I will be a strong advocate and a strong voice for families, residents and seniors. By working together we can do amazing things for Montvale.

I am excited to be running for Mayor of Montvale. One of my goals is to get more people involved to share new ideas and perspectives. I look forward to meeting more of my neighbors and hearing about what matters to them. Let’s work together to make this town better.

It all starts with an excited and vibrant Mayor and Council. It is time to get new voices elected in Montvale. Voices that will celebrate the diversity of our town and respect diverse perspectives.
