Paul Krzywicki, of Wright Township, is seeking a seat on the Wright Township Board of Supervisors in the Nov. 7 general election.
A Crestwood High School graduate and nearly a lifetime resident of Mountain Top and Wright Township, he is a marketing and communications professional, serving as the executive director of marketing and communications at The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education. He also has experience in grant writing as the former senior grant writer and communications manager at the Family Service Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania, where he researched, wrote, and applied for grants to fund health and human services programs that served individuals in 17 counties.
The candidate has also served his community by volunteering as a Mountain Top Little League softball and Biddy Basketball league coach for several seasons.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in communications from King’s College, Wilkes-Barre, and has received continuing education in crisis communications.
Krzywicki believes it is important to provide the women and men of the Wright Township police and fire departments with the proper tools to protect life and property in the community. A fiscally conservative candidate, he also stresses the importance of applying for grants to offset the cost of important community-wide infrastructure improvements to roads, storm water runoff, and the recreation park.
“Wright Township residents are fortunate to have hard-working, dedicated emergency services professionals who protect our community around the clock,” Krzywicki said. “I want to work with board colleagues to ensure these departments are staffed and supplied properly to ensure we remain one of the best communities in Northeast Pennsylvania to live and raise a family.”
As a taxpayer, husband, and father, Krzywicki also knows the importance of responsible spending and the honest use of taxpayer property and funding. “As a member of the board of supervisors, I will ensure your tax dollars are used wisely and appropriately, and, with my board colleagues, will hold those accountable who misuse township property,” he said. “I look forward to representing every township resident in a responsible and effective manner so our community thrives for every business and resident.”
If elected, Krzywicki also wants to work with the recreation committee to move forward with the master plan to modernize the Wright Township Municipal Park, a jewel of the community that oftentimes has not received routine maintenance.
Intergovernmental cooperation is also an important element of being a responsible supervisor. Krzywicki wants to work with Fairview, Rice, and Dorrance township supervisors on regional projects.
“Intergovernmental cooperation is an opportunity to improve services to residents of Wright Township and Mountain Top while lowering costs for our taxpayers,” Krzywicki said. “Mountain Top is a community that is interconnected by close proximity so we need to explore avenues of sharing services that benefit everyone.”
Wright Township taxpayers should also have easier access to their government representatives and the resources of the office. “I want to modernize the board of supervisors by live streaming work and voting sessions so every taxpayer has an opportunity to participate in their government whether they are in-person or virtual,” said Krzywicki. “Transparency is very important for good government.”
The candidate has a Facebook page where he is encouraging Wright Township residents to review his overall platform and ask questions. His Facebook page is Paul Krzywicki for Wright Township Supervisor. The link is: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090777892757.
Krzywicki is married to Amy Rushton Krzywicki. The couple has four daughters, Jessica, Heather, Abbey, and Emily.
