Top three priorities
My priorities are keeping taxes reasonable for families while still supporting all the town services people depend on, making sure Richmond stays a safe and strong place to live, and being open and honest so people know what’s going on and feel included.
Why are you running?
I’m running because I care about this town and the families in it, especially the kids growing up here, including my own. I’ve spent years serving the community and know what it means to show up when people need help. I’m not a politician, but have been involved in it for years. I’m someone who wants to do right by the people here and help keep Richmond a good place to live.
What is the biggest challenge facing your community? The biggest opportunity?
The biggest challenge is the rising cost of everything and how that impacts families, while still trying to support all town services. The opportunity is making smart, steady decisions now that keep Richmond strong for the future without gouging taxpayers.
If you could change one thing about how your community functions, what would it be and why?
I would improve communication with the community. People should feel like they know what’s happening in their town and that their voice matters.
Do you support more development in your community? Why or why not?
I support growth, but it needs to be done the right way. We need housing that’s small, local. It should fit the town and not take away from what makes Richmond a great place for families.
