WELCOME
Pitman Republicans is a group of hard-working volunteers, dedicated to the town of Pitman.
We are committed to continuing the great strides our town has made over the years, while holding on to the special, close-knit community and traditions that we have all come to treasure in our hometown. We believe that Pitman is a special place for all of us, and we want to continue that for generations to come. We are here to serve all residents of the Borough.
YOUR VOICE, YOUR COUNCIL
Why Representation Matters
A stronger council begins with broader perspectives.
Pitman benefits when Borough Council includes a range of experience and perspectives. Austin and Hahn believe broader representation can strengthen discussion, oversight, and accountability in the decisions that affect residents.
LOCAL PRIORITIES
What Council Actually Decides
Three areas where Borough Council's decisions shape everyday life in Pitman.
Responsible Taxes
& Spending
Pitman's local-purpose tax rate rose 22.2% from 2023 to 2026. Austin and Hahn support careful review of spending, debt, and long-term budget decisions while protecting essential services.
Local Control
& Community Character
Protect Pitman's ability to make local zoning and planning decisions that respect existing neighborhoods and the Borough's character.
A Strong
Downtown
Support practical decisions that help local businesses thrive and preserve downtown as a center of community life.
