How my journey began
Like so many in Lansdale, I married into the community. My wife’s family has been rooted here since well before WWII. After only a few months I grew to appreciate our town and its people as much as they did. We got married here, bought our first house here, and had our first son here. Lansdale is our home.
After 2016, I wanted to be more involved in shaping the future of our community and the future our children are going to inherit. I wanted to fix the challenges we face today by keeping an eye on how we can build into the future. Hopefully, leaving the world a little better than we found it and creating a community that our children could continue to improve upon.
As Mayor, that passion still drives me today. I see a community that can invest in infrastructure and build a better tomorrow, not just repair the infrastructure of the past. Together we can build a community that is more inclusive, more connected, and more inspiring than ever before.
FORWARD. TOGETHER.
“Mayor Herbert was extremely helpful during the reopening of my 100 year old Lansdale business. I will always appreciate his quick response and action.”
