Other facts

I have lived in Portsmouth 32 of my 57 years, 55 years total on Aquidneck Island. I am on several Town Committees including serving as Chair of the Lower Glen Farm Preservation Committee (member since '04), Solid Waste and Recycling Committee, Vice Chair of Waste Water Management Commission, Elmhurst School Reuse Committee, and the Charter Review Committee. I would like to continue my service to the Town and its citizens by becoming an Independent Town Council member working together with John Klimm to continue to improve and maintain the Town's buildings and infrastructure and preserving its valuable land and waterfront recreational areas for present and future generations while working to keep Portsmouth an affordable place to live for all.
