STATEMENT
Key Issues:
Maintaining our neighborhood schools: I initially ran for office in 2015, because my neighborhood was at risk of being pocket redistricted, and I am firmly committed to the neighborhood schools that make our town so close-knit and special.
Investment in our schools: I have been a steady advocate for our schools, especially for HVAC improvements to our schools. Improvements to our schools’ fresh air, ventilation and air conditioning protect the health and safety of our children and teachers and also protect our valuable infrastructure from costly environmental hazards like mold.
Senior tax relief and investment in senior programs and resources: Our senior population is shrinking, and I worry that we are losing a vital part of our community and tax base. We must do all that we can to retain and attract seniors in Fairfield. I have worked hard for seniors over the past six years and will push for more improvements to our tax relief programs and to our senior center if reelected.
