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

I intend to continue to use my platform as a Selectman to share and present the transparency that our elected officials and Ellington staff work so hard to give our residents. I also want to encourage residents to attend town meetings and stay up to date through the minutes on the Town website in order to stay properly informed with what is happening in town.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I put Ellington first. If I can help the town through the resources I have in order to save them money, I am first in line to do so. If I see a problem, I say something, and have a conversation about how a solution can be found. I look past political affiliations because at the end of the day, and our town comes first.

Accomplishments:

-Business Owner 20+ years -Active Utility Contractors Association of CT member, Current VP -Board of Directors and Chair of Safety Committee for National Utility Contractors Association -Former PZC member -Currently on Capital Improvement Budget Committee, Personnel Committee and Personnel Policies Committee -Liaison to Wetlands, and Economic Development and WPCA

Other issues:

-Affordability and keeping taxes from increasing -Infrastructure Improvements

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I take great pride in Ellington and will do all that I can to ensure it remains a place that everyone can be proud of. My work ethic speaks for itself inside and outside the political world and no matter what and I will continue to work hard for this town and all that live here.
