Chaz Hollis Bolte Mayor Emsworth
Communications
As Mayor I will provide a Monthly Newsletter available both in print and via email that will provide information to the community about local events and businesses. Facebook and NextDoor are used by a smaller percentage of citizens than more efficient tools such as email, text services, and newsletters.
History Initiative
Let’s Create a history initiative that allows us to tell the story of Emsworth to future generations. This is a great way to get the community together and learn about our past. We can set up monthly in the Borough Hall and record our history one citizen at a time.
Parks
Marmo Park and Vinegar Hollow are vital to the Borough and its families. As Mayor I would focus on ensuring we get the most out of the upcoming construction project at the park and would ensure our voices are heard with the Hollow Oak Land Trust. I would also work to bring family events to the park.
Why Do I Want To Be Mayor?
I believe in the power of communities coming together.
I grew up in Shaler, PA and attended Slippery Rock University where I earned a BS in Multimedia Technology. After graduation my wife Jennifer and I moved to Brooklyn, NY where I worked for the communications department of the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Council. In that position I helped teach trade unions and labor groups how to organize using new media and the internet. Now we call Emsworth home and are raising our two young sons here.
I grew up in a community full of positive leaders in their prime giving selflessly of themselves for the betterment of everyone. Now out of gratitude to those who came before I feel a calling to serve my community in the same way. Emsworth deserves leadership that treats its citizens with respect and is always willing to listen and lend a helping hand.
Let’s change Emsworth together!
