I am part of the Fairfield Athletic Foundation and we are looking to bring about meaningful change to Fairfield’s athletic fields. I have worked with a gauntlet of people and understand the importance of listening. I promise if elected I will work hard for our neighborhood to bring about the changes we all want to see. I love our town and feel passionate about keeping it a place where people want to live and call it their home.
