Previous Offices Held
Currently serving first three-year term as Ward 2 city councilor. Unsuccessfully sought Saco School Board seat in 2020.
Top Three Priorities
My three priorities would be: 1. to continue fighting for the best interests of my ward with every matter before the council, 2. to continue the work I’ve already started with cutting the budget so Saco citizens don’t feel priced out of their community and 3. protecting Saco from the increasing threat of data centers that have already plagued other communities across the country.
Why are you running?
Ever since my daughter was born, I’ve been asking myself what kind of city I’ll leave behind for her — not just from a policy perspective on council, but also more broadly. I’m running because I want to make sure my daughter has a city she can be proud of. And that comes with thoughtful, insightful and proven leadership.
What is the biggest challenge facing your town/county? The biggest opportunity?
One of the biggest challenges plaguing Saco is the perception that we’re not business-friendly. One thing I've learned on council is that with challenge comes opportunity. I believe if given the privilege to serve another term with this council and administration, the next three years will bring the opportunity to turn that perception on its head. I'd also be remiss to highlight the new schools and the opportunity they will bring as well.
If you could change one thing about how the town/county functions, what would it be and why?
One thing that I want to see change — and I’ve spent 3 years actively working on it — is cutting items from the budget. We have a tax base that feels completely overburdened, and I find that unacceptable. So, every budget season, I look for anything that can be cut, and I will continue to do so if reelected.
Do you support more development – i.e. more housing construction and business building in your town/county? Why or why not?
I support smart, strategic and calculated development. I don’t support development for development’s sake.
