Donald Mason 4 mayor of Hazleton "For a Better Tomorrow!"

 My name is Donald Mason and I want to be your mayor in 2024. 

The following information listed on this page is a summation of my experience, service to our country and community, and education. 

​

Given my leadership, extensive management, business acumen, dedication to our nation and community, and education, not only am I the best candidate for mayor for the City of Hazleton in 2024, but the candidate that makes the most sense. 

​

My plan is to use not only real world and realistic approaches but also theoretical approaches to problem solving at the community level, AND to implement a front leaning proactive approach to solving problems at all levels of government. This will involve Community Policing & Broken Window Policies, the exploration of Business revitalization, Improvement of Quality of Life, and other areas that impact Hazletonians.
