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

My goal as Tax Collector is to continue to maintain a high level of customer service and efficiency within the Tax Collector’s office and without interruption or change.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

Two differences that make me the right candidate for Easton Tax Collector are, first, my five years’ experience as Easton’s Tax Collector, concentrating on customer service and efficiency, as well as the fact that I have passed many classes and extensive testing, and resulting in my holding the designation of Certified Connecticut Municipal Collector (CCMC).

Accomplishments:

Our collection rate continues to be excellent, and our customer service is top-notch. To further enhance ease of payment, as of July 2020, coinciding with Covid, we launched our online payment service, allowing for credit and debit payments as well as the usual, and check or cash.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

Prior to my five years as Easton Tax Collector and I served five years as Easton’s Republican Registrar of Voters. My time in Town government has provided me with a deeper understanding of how the town works. My love for the town and its citizens shows in our customer service.
