Now we'd like to ask a few questions about your reasons for running and your general views on politics and government. First, why are you seeking this office?

I believe in Manchester. I want to do my part to ensure that Manchester reaches it's potential. I seek re-election because I believe there is important work still to be done.

Please complete this statement: The single most pressing issue facing my constituents is \_\_\_, and this is what I intend to do about it.

The single most pressing issue facing Manchester is the ability of residents to afford to live in Manchester. Elected officials need to find the right balance of providing services; most importantly police, fire, and working to improve the quality of education in town while ensuring that residents can afford to live here. We must make all decisions with our residents in mind.

What are the major differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I believe I bring a bi-partisan, common sense and cooperative approach that is currently needed in town government. Current decisions are made without appropriate back and forth discussions between different schools of thought.

If you are challenging an incumbent, in what way has the current officeholder failed the community?

What other issues do you intend to address during your campaign?

If re-elected I plan to prioritize responsible budgets and town safety. I would continue my work to advocate for the Manchester business community and Manchester's Veterans through work with the Manchester Veteran Advisory Committee

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

My work and voting record advocating for the Manchester business community and pushing for budgets that prioritize essential town services.

What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?

Work hard, believe in yourself.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

It is an honor to be an elected official for Manchester. I will work hard for all residents and will make decisions with their safety and prosperity in mind.
