I’m running for RTM because our district deserves thoughtful, balanced representation. I bring decades of leadership in government and business, a passion for community, and the fresh perspective our district needs.

I’M COMMITTED TO:

DELIVERING EFFICIENCY & VALUE
I’ll put my deep experience in cost-cutting, technology, and smart management to work. I’ll make sure your tax dollars are spent wisely without sacrificing quality services.

SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS & STUDENTS
I’ll champion excellent public schools that help every student succeed, attract great teachers and families, and protect your property values.

KEEPING FAIRFIELD SAFE & RESILIENT
I’ll support our first responders and investment in safety upgrades to keep our community healthy and thriving. I’ll prioritize resiliency measures that prepare us for future challenges while protecting our quality of life.

BEING YOUR VOICE IN TOWN GOVERNMENT
I’ll listen to District 1 residents, elevate your voices, and advocate for legislation that reflects your priorities and preserves the character of our neighborhoods.
