Why are you seeking this office?

The single most pressing issue facing my constituents is ____, and this is what I intend to do about it:
Making Southbury more affordable by growing the grand list.

The Republican candidates seem to vote party line more often than not.

More transparency
What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?
Six years on the Board of Finance
What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
When I was, in high school, I was complaining to my dad that mom was nagging me again. My dad then asked me how old I was going to be before I stopped blaming my parents for my own mistakes. It took me a day or two to admit to myself that both my parents were right!
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
I would like to see Southbury look more to the future and not stagnate in the status quo.
