• Ensuring a Fair Process. Process matters when making consequential decisions for our Town. The Council's decision making process should be transparent and allow for all residents to be meaningfully heard. 

• Independent Voice. I'll listen to the residents of Ward 4 in formulating my position on matters, and my vote on the Council will reflect my opinion and the voice of my constituents—not the prevailing political winds in town.

• Critical Thinking. Groupthink leads to flawed decisions being made. It's essential that members of our Town Council seek data, challenge assumptions, and embrace robust (but respectful) dialogue. As a practicing attorney with 25 years of experience, I'll bring that level of diligence to the Council.

I recently issued a press release in TAPinto Westfield about the January 2, 2024, Town Council Annual Organization Meeting and my opposition to some of the proposed reappointments and consultant agreements. Regardless of the outcome of the voting, I look forward to moving ahead into 2024.
