Currently, the representatives in our district listen to the voices of a few when they need to hear all our thoughts and opinions.

They pledged no new taxes yet the tax rate went up each of the last two years.

They pledged greater government transparency while studying the budget in secret away from the public.

I will keep town government’s actions transparent.

I will ensure the RTM maintains better communication between all departments and boards, ensuring each decision is made in context for what is best overall for Fairfield.

I will work with the next First Selectman in establishing a set of priorities that are realistic and affordable.

The key issues facing Fairfield are efficiency, openness, and fairness. I believe to get the best government possible, we need to get more people involved at all levels. I enjoy being part of local politics and volunteering my time for the town.
