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

Education is important to me; I believe in maintaining strong educational programming for all students. I also believe that our voices matter, constructive dialogue is imperative, and and well-reasoned compromise in the interest of all residents is often the best path forward.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I am a fresh face. I offer a new perspective as a political outsider.

Accomplishments:

I am a management professional who is heavily involved in the customer service industry. Additionally, I have been actively involved in many volunteer organizations. My skills working with people, listening to their issues, communicating their needs, and and handling everything from budgeting to problem solving makes this an easy transition and natural fit for me to serve as a dedicated representative on the RTM.

Other issues:

Quality of life is critical as well. We must support our police department to help provide safe neighborhoods, invest in athletic field improvements, improve our road and sidewalk infrastructure, all while looking to mitigate property growth through smart, appropriate, and commercial development.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

As your District 5 RTM Representative, I am committed to working in your best interests. I value accountability, empathy, fiscal responsibility, and above all the truth. My husband and I are life-long Fairfield residents. We love it here and chose to raise our children in the Stratfield area due to its close-knit community feel, child friendly neighborhoods, and quality schools. The people are the heart of Fairfield. As your District 5 Rep, I will listen to your concerns, raise them on the floor of the RTM, and and work tirelessly to be your voice.
