Meet Mercedes
From the time I was a child, my parents taught me that I could be of service to others regardless of what my circumstances were. I didn’t grow up with a lot, but with what we had, we fostered community and served one another - that lesson stuck with me and that’s what inspired me to run for Camp Hill Borough Council; it’s what’s inspiring me to run for Mayor.
After four years on Borough Council, I’ve seen firsthand the power of connection, and I believe a strong, united community is the most powerful response to the fear and division we face. I’m ready to meet this moment and as your Mayor, fight to keep Camp Hill a place where everyone can thrive.
I have nearly 15 years of experience as an office administrator in the public and non-profit sectors. I graduated from the University of San Diego with a B.A. in Spanish Language and minor in Political Science. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking Mexican food and spending time with my husband William and my dog Honey and cat Jasper.
