Does anyone in your family work in politics or government?
No

Previous public office, appointive or elective:
No

Why are you seeking this office?
I am running because I believe our community deserves leadership that listens, acts and delivers results. I'm running to bring practical solutions, honest communication and accountability back to public service. I also want to make sure every voice matters when decisions are made.

The single most pressing issue facing my constituents is ____, and this is what I intend to do about it:
My campaign is focused on practical improvements that make our neighborhoods safer and our local government more responsive. The most pressing issue is neighborhood safety, specifically addressing speeding and improving sidewalks around school. In addition, I’ll advocate for more crosswalks and better signage around School to protect children during busy school hours. We need to address responsible growth. With all the new housing and condos being built, our town is seeing more traffic than our roads were designed to handle. I want to make sure development is balanced with proper planning and make appropriate investments so our infrastructure, schools, and neighborhoods aren’t overwhelmed.
My goal is simple: to make District 6 and our entire town safer, stronger, and better prepared for the future through common sense leadership and community focused action.

What are the major differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
The biggest difference is approach and commitment. I'm not running to protect the status quo- I'm running to make it better. I'm focused on solving problems with action and transparency. Focusing on results not politics, I'm here to serve the people.

What other issues do you intend to address during your campaign?
Along with improving traffic safety and addressing infrastructure needs, I want to focus on keeping Fairfield a strong, affordable, and well managed community. I also believe communication and transparency matters. Residents deserve to know what's happening in town government and to have their voices heard before decisions are made.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
In the past, I’ve worked with a nonprofit organization overseeing special events and hospitality operations. In that role, I managed people, coordinated logistics, and built partnerships that brought our community together. I handled budgets, scheduling, and planning — all while making sure every event ran smoothly and served a real purpose.
It has taught me the importance of giving back to our community. That coupled with my professional experience handling clients, taught me the importance of open communication and listening to the needs of my clients, I can bring these important skills to the RTM.

District 6 deserves a representative who’s approachable, dependable, and ready to do the work. My track record shows that when something needs to get done, I’m not afraid to step up and lead — and I’ll bring that same commitment to the RTM.

What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
If you see something that needs to be done, don't wait for someone else to do it and do the right thing even when no one's watching.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
I'm not a career politician, I'm a neighbor who cares deeply about our community. I believe in listening, being accessible and follow through on what I say. I'm running because I want to make sure Fairfield stays a safe, welcoming place for every family-now and for generations to come.
