The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:

Traffic and the need for an economic development director- coordinate with state officials to place traffic control on state roads and push for sidewalks. To have an E.D.D. position created and filled!

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I will not have a knee-jerk reaction to always vote along party lines and the status quo.

Accomplishments:

I wrote and spearheaded passage of vita legislation, e.g. the blight ordinance, and have served on two committees and have been sensitive and responsive to constituents needs.

Other issues:

To make Branford better and to replace the incumbent First Selectman with a person who is in tune with our community and able to think out of the box.

I will help maintain Branford's strong tax base and preserve our rural integrity.
