I enjoy learning how our town operates and meeting the people who make it look effortless. This has given me a deep respect for our first responders, educators, public works staff, and all town employees. I’m proud to play a role in ensuring our parks, library, senior center, schools, and municipal buildings remain safe, welcoming, and well-maintained for every resident.
