Elected
Fire Commissioner, Thornwood Fire District
Years of taxpayer-funded governance — a district run much like the Town itself — where careful, hands-on oversight of public funds kept one of the healthiest budgets in the region.
The campaign for Mount Pleasant presents a steady, experienced leader — a neighbor this community already knows and trusts.

Valhalla to Thornwood to Pleasantville —
One of Us
Gail is a lifelong Mount Pleasant resident who grew up in Valhalla, raised her family in Thornwood, and now watches her grandchildren grow up in Pleasantville. This town is not a line on her résumé — it is the whole story.
Her dedication as a first responder and community volunteer, her love for her family, her loyalty to her friends, and her soft spot for rescue dogs — every dog she has ever had has been a rescue — reflect the character of someone this community already knows and trusts.
She lives in Thornwood with her husband Greg of 46 years — and their rescue dog, Finn.
