Why did you run for office?
I have never been one to sit idle on the sidelines and I feel that politics is an honorable way to be able to give back to my community



If elected, what would be your primary areas of focus?
To continue to promote the future growth of Main Street with the relocation of the train platform back to the center of Town and to ensure the Route 20/75 exit ramp reconfiguration is in next years State projects listing as this will allow for future growth on the backside of Route 75 . Both projects will allow for future grand list growth that will allow the Town to keep taxes stable.



What do you feel is the biggest issue facing Windsor Locks today?
Continuing to seek ways to keep jobs in Windsor Locks and to promote public capital projects (funded by Federal and State grants) that will allow for private investment in our business corridors.

What skills do you have that you could bring to the community?
Since being elected as First Selectman I have made myself accessible to our residents and have made it a point to ensure that there concerns are addressed in a timely and appropriate manner. No problem is ever too small.

Anything else you would like to share?

Since being elected as the First Selectman of Windsor Locks, I am most grateful to all our residents who have and continue to support my candidacy. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to lead a highly motivated Democratic Team that is dedicated and committed to the future of Windsor Locks.

Please come out and vote November 8.
