I have seen many changes occur over the past forty-two years since I have lived here and like many I want our community to continue to change and grow. Newtown will need people who have the vision and leadership qualities to help navigate its way through the difficult process of change, conflict and growth. I am an individual who has those qualities and is capable of meeting any challenges that will help Newtown grow in a moderate fashion.
