What sets you apart from other candidates? I believe in public service. I believe that “politics” should not to play a role in the decision making of government leaders. We are a community and the concerns presented to the Common Council are community concerns, concerns which directly affect the members of a community. Our neighbors, friends and family are interested in how to solve problems, not party mantra.
In my first term, I have secured a generator for City Hall, helped to create an Emergency Operations Center, facilitated the construction of an emergency access road at Middletown High School, fought to have fiscal responsibility at the Board of Education and through my participation in Fire Opps 101 secured a communication system which will allow firefights to communicate while actively fighting a fire. The health, safety and economic growth of our community are my priorities.
