I was a member of the RTM for 8 years. I fought for improving schools while spending responsibly.
Other issues:
I would like to see the town build another skate park. I would like to see that our taxes dollars are spent in a fair and balanced way.
What else would you like voters to know about you?
I am a blue-collar worker who believes an honest day's work deserves an honest day's pay. I understand what working hard means and how it is important to all residents that their hard work and families are the backbone of what makes Branford the community that it is.
