Top Three Priorities
I support affordable housing and workforce housing. I would like to see the Brunswick climate action steps implemented. I support efforts to ensure a vibrate downtown with additional parking spaces and parking lots.
Why are you running?
I have three years of experience on the Brunswick Town Council and have served as a member of the Finance Committee, Town Commons Committee, Bike and Pedestrian Committee, Heustons Park Committee and the Hawthorn School Redevelopment Committee. I am committed to expanding and maintaining biking and walking opportunities in Brunswick. I have developed a substantial expertise in financial management that could be helpful in managing our town’s budgets.
What is the biggest challenge facing your town/county? The biggest opportunity?
Affordable housing and climate action are among the significant opportunities, and keeping the property taxes close to the regional rate of inflation is one of the biggest challenges.
If you could change one thing about how the town/county functions, what would it be and why?
Brunswick needs new public works facilities and a fuel station that supports the mission of our public works department and the gas/diesel needs of all town vehicles. This new facility needs to be safe and environmentally sound for all town employees and for neighbors in the Water Street area.
Do you support more development – i.e. more housing construction and business building in your town/county? Why or why not?
I support limited growth in housing and in commercial development. An annual overall development growth of one of two percent is a good target for Brunswick. The need for additional low-income and workforce housing in rental and non-rental units is crucial for our town. This type of modest housing growth helps keep the property taxes down and it also helps to slow down the rate of inflation for homeowners and renters.
