Top three priorities


Fiscal responsibility and transparency.

Ensure taxpayer dollars are managed carefully, with sustainable growth to support responsible development that strengthens the local economy while reserving the character of our community.

Improve communication and accessibility so residents feel heard, informed, and confident in town leadership.

Why are you running?


I’m running because I don’t just live in Harrison, I’m invested in what this town becomes. I believe decisions should be made with common sense and respect for the taxpayers, with a clear focus on longterm stability. I’ve seen where we can do better, and instead of sitting on the sidelines, I’m choosing to step up, be involved, and be part of the solution.

What is the biggest challenge facing your community? The biggest opportunity?


The greatest challenges facing Harrison are increased development pressure, rising property values and taxes, and the risk of overbuilding or losing the town’s identity. The biggest opportunity for our town is to support small businesses beyond summer and encouraging services that keep people here year-round.

If you could change one thing about how your community functions, what would it be and why?


The one change I would like to make or see occur is a focus on accountability, making sure every decision is clearly justified and every dollar spent is working for the people who live here.

Do you support more development in your community? Why or why not?


I support responsible development housing that’s actually affordable for working Mainers. Growth should strengthen our year-round community, not be driven by short-term rentals or projects that don’t benefit local residents.
