First time running for office
Top Three Priorities
My top priorities are responsible stewardship of the municipal budget, ensuring that Hallowell remains a welcoming community for everyone and ensuring that city services are responsive to the needs of the community.
Why are you running?
I have been regularly attending council meetings for several years, and I feel that I will be able to give the time to get out in the ward on a regular basis to see what people's concerns are and represent them effectively.
What is the biggest challenge facing your town/county? The biggest opportunity?
I feel that the biggest challenge facing Hallowell is the need to foster the city's growth and maintain effective city services with fiscal responsibility. The biggest opportunity is the possibility of merging some of those services with their counterparts in neighboring communities.
If you could change one thing about how the town/county functions, what would it be and why?
I would like there to be clear communication about the justification for any increases in spending, so the community will know how their tax dollars are being spent.
Do you support more development – i.e. more housing construction and business building in your town/county? Why or why not?
Of course I support development. I want Hallowell to continue to be a vibrant, fun place to live and for there to be responsive and effective municipal services.
