What I am looking to accomplish as an Alderman: As Alderman, I will be a strong voice for the people of Waterbury; focused on making city government more accessible, responsive, and accountable. My goal is to help residents navigate city services, address local concerns quickly and effectively, and work collaboratively with others to find practical, common-sense solutions. I will also prioritize transparency and fiscal responsibility to ensure every tax dollar is used wisely and efficiently.

Two most important topics as an Alderman if elected: If I am elected as an Alderman, the two most important topics are Fiscal Responsibility: Ensuring smart, balanced budgeting and responsible use of taxpayer dollars to protect Waterbury’s financial health and  Neighborhood Investment: Strengthening our communities by supporting safe streets, quality city services, and thoughtful redevelopment that improves the lives of residents today and into the future.
