Timothy Runkle for
Elizabethtown Borough Council
Local government must be good stewards of our land who understand the needs of the people. My name is Timothy Runkle and I am running for Elizabethtown Borough Council in 2017.
Everyone has the ability to be a leader in their community. As family, friends, and neighbors we are responsible for the direction which our community will be lead. There is no better time than now to be present for our future. As a council member I will be driven by the following principles.
Community-Based Economics
Promote and develop economic activities and institutions that are accountable to the community.
Future Focus and Sustainability
Actions and policies that are motivated by long-term goals. Focus on the quality of all lives rather than open-ended economic growth.
Ecological Wisdom
Utilization of our resources in a way that future generations will benefit and not be harmed from the practices of today.
Respect for Diversity
Value cultural, ethnic, racial, sexual, religious and spiritual diversity and promote the development of respectful relationships.
