Why I am Running
I have never had any political ambitions, but in 2023, I had the opportunity to serve on the Town Council. It has been both a privilege and a challenge. I'm regularly reminded to think about what is best for the members of this community. Real people with real concerns, trying to make a life for themselves and their families. It teaches you to be less selfish and consider the impact decisions may have. It is humbling to be sure. I would like the opportunity to continue to learn about how local government works and hopefully have some small impact that makes our community a better place to live.
