As a lifelong resident of Mifflin County, Gutshall said "I have deep roots in the community."
According to a press release, Gutshall owns property in the 7th ward of Lewistown, where he currently resides with his wife Stacy and their children.
Gutshall said in the release his main focus will be maintaining fiscal responsibility in the borough as tax revenues are projected to drop on local, state and federal levels as a result of the soft economy and high unemployment.
