Hi! My name is Joan Herbert. I’m married to my husband Sam and together we have four children and two dogs. We reside in Mechanicsburg, PA.

I have a Bachelor of Architecture Degree (B.Arch) with a background in math and computer science. Professionally, I’m experienced in residential, commercial, and restorative architecture. I’m a dedicated Team Member; our team placed first in the State level Inclusive Architecture Design Competition.

I’m a hardworking, conservative Christian who is actively involved in Church ministry and missions outreach.

Presently, I am the Committeewoman for Silver Spring Precinct 4 and I’ve assisted with the 2020 Presidential Campaign. Although I am a newcomer, you can trust that I’m not influenced by any special interest groups.

I’ll bring the following to the
Office of the Treasurer:

Fiscal Responsibility

  • Evaluate and reduce spending.

  • Balance spending with adequate funding for all required services.

  • Balance the fiscal budget and policies to reduce inflation.

  • Ensure positive cash flow

  • Reduce tax for seniors on fixed income and hardworking American citizens.

  • Help grow the local economy by creating a successful environment for small businesses to prosper.

Retirement panel

  • I will work with other Board members to make informed decisions related to the investments of Cumberland County Employees and Retirees.

  • I will enact policies per government accounting standards and principles and reconcile the balances of Cumberland County Pension's investments and approximately 9,500 County-owned assets.

Fight Lukewarm Republicanism

  • I will maintain conservative values and fight against woke politics

  • I will maintain conservative spending as increased spending will lead to higher taxes.

  • I will work to build back the trust of the people of Cumberland County.
