People often ask me why I am running for political office. My answer is simple: because I care about East Fishkill.

I have watched District 21 grow and change. I know its strengths and I know its struggles — not from a distance, but from living  here for almost 37 years. Running for office is my way of turning that knowledge, and that love for this place, into meaningful action.

County government touches nearly every aspect of daily life — affordability, public safety, health services, parks, roads and so much more. These are not abstract policy debates. They are the conditions of real life for real people. Every decision made at the County level is felt in this community, and I will make sure to always put this community first.

As a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Fraud Examiner and  I want to bring my strengths to the County government and have those strengths work for all those who live in my District regardless of political affiliation .

I am running for a seat at the table— and the chance to use it well.
