Advocates for regular preventive road maintenance to avoid costly road, drainage, and sinkhole failures.

Bergenn, 35, is town deputy highway superintendent and co-owner of A&M Property Management. She is a first-time candidate and has lived in the town most of her life. She graduated from Wawarsing Christian Academy in 2009.

“We’re not doing the small projects that need to get done so we don’t have the catastrophic failure of roads giving way, sinkholes or massive drainage projects that we then have to take on,” she said.

Bergenn said some work, such as what was needed on Joys Lane and Hickory Lane, would not have been such big projects if there had been regular maintenance. “It could have been done in ways that we did it in sections rather than a huge project all at once. But because of … not staying on top of the small issues, it’s causing us to have these become catastrophic failures.”

Prioritizes allocating enough staff hours for crews to clear roads before travel begins during snowstorms.

Bergenn said it is important to make sure “our budget contains enough hours that we’re able to send our guys out during snowstorms sooner. My philosophy … is why not come in early and get the roads cleaned up before anybody’s even on them.”

As of October 22, 2026, Michele Bergenn did not have a website or any information online.
