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

The single most pressing issue facing our town is the need for fiscal responsibility and transparency by all the boards. Prior to anything being voted on, the residents should know the agenda and be able to voice their opinion either for or against. Then a vote in front of the residents should occur. I intend to make sure that happens.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I believe the critical difference is that I am willing to break from the "good old boys" club that has been allowed to happen for too long. There cannot be such a disparity on all the boards. All the boards must be represented by all the people, not just a select few. it's time for a change, and that time is now. I will be an Alderman for all the people.

Accomplishments:

I am a past President of the Milford Bar Association; served as a member of the Statewide Grievance Committee; and a long time business owner.

Other issues:

Other than the issues of fiscal responsibility and transparency in our boards, I would like to help with what has become a real concern to residents regarding our current educational system. No matter what party you belong to or even if you are not affiliated with a party, we all need to come together and make this town what it used to be, not what it is becoming. Small businesses deserve our help. Police, and fire and rescue deserve our help.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I am passionate about what I take on. I take my responsibilities seriously. If you put your faith in me and give me your vote, you will never regret it. I will work tirelessly to make sure that every citizen in this town has their voice heard.
