Hahn committed to all in State College

Don Hahn is the best person to become State College mayor as he fits the mold of his predecessors, all of whom served us superbly, since 1961. Don has the skills and temperament to help the borough grow yet retain its beauty and desirability. He understands the need for sustainable growth, but knows it must be well planned, and also include green growth.

As an attorney Don has honed his skills, by working with all types of people. Don’s 20 years of public service have shown that he is committed to all living in our town.

While a member of Borough Council he worked with both students and neighborhood associations. Don will continue to do both. His leadership style is considerate yet never confrontational.

Don is also a member of the Centre County Council for Human Services, composed of more than 90 agencies. This keeps him up to date on what is happening throughout the Centre Region. He has won numerous awards for his pro bono work.

Don Hahn is honest and straightforward and will serve our community well. He is a graduate of State High, Penn State, and Leadership Centre County. Born here, raised here, educated here, and continues to serve here. He is indeed one of us!

Elaine Schuckers, State College
