I am a former Mayor of Franklin Township and an At-large Councilwoman. I currently serve as Commissioner on of the Franklin Township Redevelopment Agency, which is responsible for assisting the Township of Franklin in the revitalization of the Renaissance Redevelopment Area.

Francois is the Chair of the Township Council Administration Committee and successfully executed the nationwide search for the new Township Manager replacement.

My vision for the township is to stabilize taxes, expand economic development to increase commercial and industrial ratables that will reduce the tax burden on residential taxpayers, and provide more services and youth recreation programs.
