What are your top three priorities?

1) Responsible budgeting and the county’s long-term fiscal stability. 2) Building stronger partnerships with municipalities and the state to share services, reduce duplication and secure sustainable funding. I will aim to have county government delivering essential services efficiently and transparently. 3) Right-sizing the county jail by strengthening behavioral health, substance-use and public safety services.

Why are you running?

I am running because county government has a meaningful impact on our communities. I bring more than 20 years of financial and operational experience and a collaborative leadership style. I will use this experience to strengthen fiscal oversight, increase transparency and help Cumberland County work more effectively with municipalities to solve our regional challenges.

What are your top three priorities?

The expansion of county services to reduce local taxes. Ensure that training for first responders are standardized across the county. Include school departments with regionalization to offset rising costs.

Why are you running?

The challenges facing us today, whether housing, social issues, job creation, aging, childcare, lack of a workforce in our police, fire, rescue and public works departments need to have different approaches, and I believe I can contribute to that end.
