What are your top three campaign issues and why?:

  • Protect our residents and ensure the town provides excellent service including police, fire, EMS, water, sewer, streets, sidewalks, traffic controls, parks, libraries, community programming, engineering, building safety and environmental planning.
  • Balancing the rights of property owners to develop and experience financial gain with the rights of individual families and residents to be protected from new development which might impinge on their quality of life and enjoyment of their home and community.
  • Find ways to provide the services that our residents desire utilizing public private partnerships to reduce the tax burden on our residents. Maintain a fiscal structure the new development pays their fair share of the costs of providing necessary services and protect existing residents from being burdened with the added cost of new development such as transportation, parks and public safety services.
