Why are you running?

· Continue to provide essential services for our residents at a reasonable cost

· Support smart economic growth to relieve the Milford taxpayer’s burden

· Protect Milford’s beautiful Colonial New England charm

· Keep a high level of transparency in the daily operations of city government

· Open lines of communication between the residents and the governing bodies

· Common sense form of government

What do you want to accomplish?

Tax reform, control housing development and long-range plans to provide opportunities for all people to experience a quality of life that is affordable and sustainable. Provide opportunity for all city departments/agencies to submit budgets that are justified, simplified and above all transparent. Allow for the provision that our education system provides our students with the knowledge and experiences that will allow them to compete globally. As a member of the Board of Alderman I know that strong leadership leads to good government. I will insist on transparency, a common sense approach and a dialogue that will allow for hands on participation (conversation) by the people and for the people of Milford.
