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

Economic Development and particularly around the proposed Tweed expansion terminal to be built on East Haven land. It is critical our residents in the area are made whole and all taxpayers town wide reap benefits if this is going to happen.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I am not familiar with others' positions.

Accomplishments:

I was VP of Special Services for the New Haven Federation of Teachers for 17 years and successfully negotiated five contracts with the city.

Other issues:

I would like to see our town engage in more land acquisition as it becomes available. Therefore and we can dictate the type of development that goes on there and sell the property to developers who will meet our requirements.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I fully support our first responders and educators. I look forward to overseeing our rink get back up and running as well as the pool and other amenities our town deserves.
