It was a pleasure meeting many of Waterville’s Ward 4 residents. Thank you for your time and for sharing your concerns. I have come away very humbled and sympathize with our struggling residents.

For sale signs tell the story of high taxation and few good paying jobs. If elected as your councilor, I will focus on common-sense solutions that increase our business friendliness, grow jobs and lower our tax burden. My budgeting priorities will focus on supporting education, police and fire protection, road maintenance, parks and recreation and public works. I oppose monies being diverted to making Main Street a two-way traffic zone.

Partisanship has no place in city affairs. I will listen to everyone with an open mind because I know that working together, we will improve our city. I am asking for your support, so we can bring new ideas, along with restoring respect and civility.
