Does anyone in your family work in politics or government?

Previous public office, appointive or elective:
no

Why are you seeking this office?
To bring transparency, good governance and Fairfield First over political partisanship

The single most pressing issue facing my constituents is ____, and this is what I intend to do about it:
Fiscal responsibility. I would make it a priority to increase transparency, improve the budget processes, work to engage the public more and hold all our elected officials to higher standards than what I see currently happening in Fairfield Government under the current administration and RTM majority.

What are the major differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
Running as an unaffiliated I feel I am best positioned to act in the best interest of the town, and a singular political party. I feel the current RTM makeup has acted only in the interest of their party and not the best interest of the town. I would appeal to all elected officials to put town over party. A promise I expect to be held too.

What other issues do you intend to address during your campaign?
As good leaders we have to restore faith in town government by reestablishing financial controls and fixing the very broken accounting systems. After 2 years of questionable decision-making and failed oversight under the current administration and RTM Super Majority which has led to purchasing policy violations, unauthorized spending, and the misuse of taxpayer funds, we need to reestablish strong financial management, proper budget procedures, and accountability at every level. Seeing the failures of the current town leadership first hand all Fairfielders deserve and should demand better leadership at every level.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
Served on the Fairfield Parking Authority from 2017 through 2025 where we had many acomplishments during that time to better the commuter experience not only for the residents of Fairfield, but as the gateway to the town for people visiting who take the train. We improved the parking lots, brought in new tenants to the commercial spaces to better serve the commuters and community, increased security, beautified the station houses and maintained very positive relationships with the state and community.

What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. If you are going to fail at something, fail fast and move on. And, be a good listener.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
Vote for change!
