Why I Am Running

Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of dedicating my time and efforts to serving on our school committee, with the last four years as vice chair. This valuable experience has inspired me to seek ways to extend my influence across various aspects of our town. My campaign is centered on three pivotal areas, each of which holds significant importance for the future of Portsmouth: education, the economy, and the environment.

​

Education is the bedrock of American democracy and a vital tool for advancement in Portsmouth. As a community, we must uphold and bolster our educational system to provide our future generations with top-notch guidance and a secure, nurturing environment for learning. This includes advocating for increased resources and support for teachers and engaging with parents, guardians, and students to address their specific needs and concerns.

​

In terms of the economy, Portsmouth must strive to broaden its economic landscape while preserving the distinct character that has drawn numerous new families to our town over the past decade. This could involve promoting small business growth, creating job opportunities, and fostering a business-friendly environment, all while maintaining our community's unique charm and identity.

​

As for the environment, Aquidneck Island boasts a rich aquatic history and unparalleled natural beauty. Preserving our natural spaces is paramount to ensuring they can be cherished and utilized by future generations. This includes advocating for sustainable practices, protecting green spaces, and promoting environmental education and awareness within our community.

​

Throughout my time serving our town, I have worked tirelessly to initiate positive change and progress within our community. From spearheading local infrastructure projects to advocating for improved public services, I have consistently strived to enhance the lives of our fellow residents. As the upcoming election approaches, I look forward to your support and trust in my vision for a better future for our town. Thank you for considering me as your candidate.
