I am running for Fallsburg Town Supervisor because I am deeply committed to our community’s well-being and prosperity. As a parent with four children in the Fallsburg school district, I am personally invested in creating a better future for our town. 

With a strong background in government management, financial oversight and extensive experience in public service, I believe I can bring effective leadership, transparency and accountability to the role of Town Supervisor.

My platform centers on three key pillars:

Smart Sustainable Growth: We face critical infrastructure needs and traffic congestion. I will work on cost-effective solutions that always seek to protect our town’s beauty and natural resources.

Economic Development: Supporting entrepreneurship and attracting new businesses is essential. We need to provide resources for aspiring business owners to spur economic growth.

Professional and Ethical Governance: I will seek to close ethical loopholes in the town code, and institute effective internal controls ensuring transparency and accountability. I will also work to foster a professional and experienced workforce that provides effective public services.

Aging infrastructure is a significant long-term issue in Fallsburg. Our water/sewer systems need upgrading, and traffic congestion hinders daily life. We must invest in sustainable solutions, ensuring our town remains a beautiful and functional place to live. I will work to address these challenges, secure necessary state/federal funding, and ensure we collaborate with residents along the way.

Together, we can build a Fallsburg that works for everyone, where growth is smart, opportunities abound, and our town’s natural beauty thrives.
