The purpose of this letter is to rally the people of Summit Hill to elect Jeffrey Szczecina as their mayor.

During my career as a Pennsylvania state trooper, ending as the commanding officer of Troop M, Bethlehem, I had the privilege and good fortune of working alongside and eventually supervising Jeffrey Szczecina as he served in various positions within our department.

Jeff’s PSP career has prepared him perfectly for the role of mayor. For crisis management, he handled countless complex criminal investigations including homicides, some garnering national attention, in addition to child abuse cases, sexual assaults and financial crimes. For administrative tasks and accountability, he served on the Systems Process and Review team that audited the operations at PSP stations. In all these challenges, the common thread to his success was his ability to bring people together to accomplish the goal, be it justice by an arrest or to improve the functionality and efficiency of a PSP station.

Indeed, Jeff’s greatest contribution to the people of Summit Hill will be himself. His character, integrity and willingness to put the needs of others before and over his own interests makes him the special person that he is and the ideal mayor. In this regard, he will make Summit Hill better as he will no doubt excel in any situation and serve as a role model for others: a leader who brings people together for the greater good, and sets and achieves the highest standard in every regard. As such, I give him the highest possible endorsement for the office of mayor. If you truly care about Summit Hill, vote for Szczecina. You will not find a better candidate; they simply don’t exist.

Respectfully,

Capt. Brian S. Tobin (retired)
