I was honored to officially take the oath of office today as mayor of Elizabethtown! 🇺🇸 This moment was only possible because of the incredible support system I have been blessed with.

To my family and dearest friends: thank you. Thank you for your tireless encouragement, your patience, and for always believing in me!

Now that my campaign for mayor and election day are past I need to take a step back and thank those who helped make it a success. I first want to thank my family, for without their love and support this victory would have much less meaning. Thanks go out to my many friends throughout the borough for the kind words of support and encouragement. Thank you to the Elizabethtown Area Republican Committee and the Lancaster County Republican Committee for their endorsement and help to get my message out in the community.

To the 1800+ residents of Elizabethtown that voted for me I am truly thankful. My pledge to you and ALL residents of our community is that I will take seriously my oath of office and will do my very best to serve everyone with fairness and respect. Whether Republican, Democrat or Independent, we all have a common goal, that being to ensure that Elizabethtown remains the vibrant thriving community that we all love.

While I have a tremendous respect for and love of Elizabethtown’s history, the future wellbeing of Elizabethtown as a whole has always been the focus of my campaign. I will always strive to keep Elizabethtown the safe, welcoming town that I have known and loved my whole life. I want to help make Elizabethtown the community that families will call their ‘Home Town’ for generations to come.

Our nation’s 250th anniversary will be celebrated in 2026, followed by Elizabethtown’s Bicentennial in 2027. With all of us working together we can make the next few years among the best Elizabethtown has seen.

Phil served as Facilities Manager at Christ Lutheran Church for 50 years, and previously served on Church Council. His faith and dedication to service have shaped how he leads: humbly and with purpose.

• Chair of Elizabethtown’s annual New Year’s Eve Celebration for the past 11 years
• Chair of the Bicentennial Steering Committee
• President of the Elizabethtown Preservation Associates
• Serves on the Elizabethtown Borough Civil Service Commission and Development Authority
