Election 2021: Jacob LaValley For Windsor Locks Park Commission

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — Democrat Jacob LaValley, 31, is running for Park Commission in Windsor Locks-East Windsor.

Occupation: Data Analytics

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

The single most pressing issue facing our town is development. Whether it our Senior Center, Safety Complex, Downtown, and the ASV or continuing to improve our beautiful parks. As a candidate for the Parks Commission I intend to fight for the resources to continually improve our nearly two dozen parks in this awesome little town.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

The critical differences between me and other candidates running for parks is my passion for the outdoors and technical skills in project management. As an Eagle Scout and active volunteer leader I work to instill a passion for nature and the outdoors in our youth. In my professional career I work in process improvements where I utilize my degrees in economics, business, and and analytics to make complex business decisions across different departments of the company.

Accomplishments:

Along with advancing to the rank of Eagle as a youth in Scouts BSA, I also earned the highest ranks and honors in Venturing BSA, Sea Scouts BSA and Scouting’s National Honor Society. I have provided leadership and expertise on local, regional, and and national Scouting committees. Although the youngest of three sons I was the first of my brothers to complete a master’s degree. My record shows that I am an ambitious individual determined to make a positive difference.

Other issues:

Windsor Locks is a beautiful town and I want to see a strong Parks and Recreation program with maintained parks and attractions to get everybody outside into nature.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

Although I didn’t grow up in Windsor Locks, I fell in love with this town and everything it has given me. It is only right that I give back, and I hope the people of Windsor Locks will let me serve them.
