I am running for Town Supervisor because I believe Ashippun deserves strong, fair, and thoughtful representation. For many years, I have been interested in pursuing a supervisor position, but recent events have made it clear that now is the right time to step forward and ensure that all residents have a voice in decisions that shape our community.
Elected officials have a responsibility to represent the will and best interests of the people they serve. That responsibility does not change based on personal opinions or agendas. My commitment is to listen, engage openly, and advocate for decisions that reflect the priorities of Ashippun residents as a whole.
Protecting Ashippun’s rural character is one of my highest priorities. Smart development means growth that is carefully planned, appropriately located, and respectful of the town’s established character. Once farmland, wetlands, and timberland are lost to development, they are gone forever. Preserving these natural resources is essential—not only for our environment, but for our way of life and future generations.
I am dedicated to protecting our community, preserving our natural environment, and supporting responsible growth that benefits residents without sacrificing what makes Ashippun unique. I will work to ensure transparency, accountability, and thoughtful decision‑making in town government.
I would be honored to serve as your representative and to be a strong, independent voice for smart development and the long‑term well‑being of Ashippun.
