ABOUT ME
Experience That Works For Redding
Experience has never been more important as major challenges and opportunities face Redding and Connecticut.
In my eight years in office, I've consolidated, cost reduced, and enhanced town services that have touched every department in Town Hall.
Critically important is the time I've spent and the knowledge gained in the successful victory of title to the Georgetown Wire Mill Property.
All of these initiatives have improved the quality of life in Redding – AND restarted the future of Georgetown.
I have a passion for our town, and a successful record of leading Redding, its operations, and the men and women who deliver its services — all within a rigorously vetted budget.
I'm excited to continue this work, and that's why I ask for your vote in the next election.
