What I'll Fight For

Five priorities to restore competent, honest leadership to the Town of Newburgh.

Clean Government & Real Transparency

Publish budgets and contracts online. Hold regular public forums, strengthen ethics rules, and end backroom decisions.

  • Open-book budgets published quarterly
  • Monthly town hall forums for public input
  • Independent ethics oversight board

Fiscal Responsibility & Long-Term Planning

Full operational and financial review in the first 100 days. Stronger fiscal controls. Make every tax dollar traceable.

Infrastructure, Safety & Emergency Preparedness

A transparent capital plan, support for first responders, updated emergency management, and development tied to infrastructure capacity.

My campaign is built on four core values - integrity, accountability, fiscal responsibility, and inclusion. Our town deserves leadership rooted in principle and prepared to act. I’m ready to lead with experience, transparency, and purpose from day one.
