My wife and I moved our family here because of what Newtown offers. Our schools, parks, community offerings are our strengths and I want to continue to improve what we can offer families so that we remain a vibrant, inclusive community.
I am running to give Newtowners options on their ballots this fall. I want to provide our voters with a different voice. I have not served in elected office and while I have been working behind the scenes these last few years, I wanted to step up to run for the Legislative Council to ensure that we offered voters choices for their ballot. My goals are to explore how we can enable working families to fully participate in our home, consider how decisions that the council makes impact all of our citizens as well as our environment.
Experience
As an educator, I have learned directly from families the challenges they face and the concerns that have raising their children to be productive members of an inclusive community. I plan to work to ensure that our community is inclusive of all our citizens and that the actions the Legislative Council takes evaluates its impact on all of us.
