We moved to Fairfield many years ago for the School System, along with the quality of life Fairfield had to offer. We got what we bargained for! In return, I believe this is important to new families in our town, as well as families who have been here for generations. I would like to be a voice for our district in seeing that this not only continues, but becomes even better for Fairfield’s future families and residents.  I love Fairfield, and I would be more than happy to represent our town at the community level. As a liberal with an open mind, who is a listener, and believes in fairness across the board, I stand ready to serve.
