Craig's Plan for Hillside
Economic Development Through Strategic Partnerships and Leadership
Craig believes that economic development begins with strong relationships. His vision includes forming partnerships with local businesses, state agencies, and nonprofits to create jobs, support small business growth, and bring new opportunities to Hillside. Under his leadership, economic progress will be built on collaboration and accountability.
A Safer Hillside Through Community Policing
As a lifelong Hillside resident and father of two Hillside High School graduates, Craig understands the importance of safety from both a civic and personal perspective. That’s why he’s committed to launching community policing programs that build trust between officers and residents. His plan emphasizes visibility, accountability, and collaboration — ensuring that every neighborhood feels heard, respected, and protected.
Empowering Hillside Residents
Investing in Our Youth
Craig has always been a champion for Hillside’s young residents. He plans to expand educational and athletic opportunities by working closely with the Hillside Board of Education. From tutoring programs to sports leagues, Craig wants every child to have a pathway to grow, achieve, and lead.
Caring for Our Seniors
Craig knows that the strength of a community is reflected in how it treats its elders. He’s committed to expanding services for senior citizens — from transportation and health resources to social and recreational programming — ensuring they have the support and dignity they deserve.
