This is a message for my Carlton friends and neighbors. I am a candidate for our Town Board. I firmly believe that this election is about you!

This election isn’t just about who’s on the ballot—it’s about you, your family, your future, and the community we’re building together.

I am running for the Carlton Town Board not to gain power, but to serve with a purpose.  I will listen, act, and be the leader who’s always believed that progress starts with people. It begins with transparency and common sense. It begins with educated decision making.  It begins with listening to you.

Historically I have served on the Albion CSD Board of Education, the BOCES Board of Education, the Orleans Cornell Cooperative Extension Board of Directors and numerous other boards and committees. I have decades of leadership experience. I completed Leadership Orleans in 2022 with a new outlook on Orleans County and the need for us to step up.

Integrity. Empathy. Vision. These aren’t just words—they’re the principles that guide me.

Want a local government that listens and acts?

Want leaders who are truly accessible and transparent?

Want a future built on collaboration, not division?

Then let’s talk. Let’s ask questions. Let’s get involved.

Stop by 13399 Callard Drive on October 25th anytime between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. for a Meet and Greet. Let’s talk about what is important to us. I want to earn your vote!

Not registered? You can do that today!
