Previous elected positions held: None, however I have been on the towns plan commission for a number of years, and was appointed to finish the term of first supervisor.
What are the top issues facing this district/municipality and how would you work to resolve it?
The condition of our town roads is the biggest issue facing the town. The towns' electors voted last fall to increase our taxes to repair the roads. I will work to make sure we get the most repairs we can do for our money. I'll help to decide which roads need attention sooner rather than later. I'll work with land owners to help keep the roads good as well.
What are other key issues facing the district/municipality, and how would you work to resolve them?
Long term, we will need a new garage and possibly town hall. I'll always keep long term thinking involved in any decisions that are made.
Why are you the best candidate for this office?
I'm running unopposed, however I feel my business knowledge and common sense approach will be beneficial to get the most out of our budget, as help make the right decisions for the town.
