Paulette Matthews for Mechanicsburg Borough Council

Mechanicsburg, like most towns, has experienced some real challenges over the last few years. Communications, budgeting, and collaboration are essential to ensure progress in any community but will be especially vital in 2021 as we recover together from the effects of Covid-19. I have the communications skills, the fiscal tools, the experience, and the dedication to meet these challenges. I look forward to working with the Borough Council, local businesses, area organizations, and our neighbors to ensure our legacy of "a good place to live" in Mechanicsburg, PA.

What's Happening Around Town!

Halloween is coming!!!!

Our community will be celebrating Halloween with its annual Trick or Treat night on October 28, 2021 from 6-8 pm. This is such a great time for our community to come together, meet our communities' children, and create some smiles! Folks participating should put on their outdoor lights. Can't wait to see all the creative costumes our kids, young and old, create!!

Just Before the Parrade Begins

The energy given from folks who participated in the parade was fantastic!

My daughter made this "Vote" sash for me to wear to the parade. I am a lucky mom! :)

Jenna Raniowsky, Laura Martin and Paulette Matthews had a FABULOUS experience at the Mechanicsburg Halloween Parade! Vote on November 2!
