Governing philosophy
I believe in promoting transparent government, especially locally, where we’ve lacked transparency for so long. By simply asking and answering questions and adequately informing the public, I would aim to make sure we, as elected officials, are properly representing our constituent’s hopes. I would always offer an open forum for any Stony Pointer who has a vision for the future of our hometown. I want Stony Point to be a drive to town, not a drive through town, where we support community-first development.
Main focus of your term, if elected
As Town Councilwoman, I would aim to increase our governmental transparency and encourage safe and sound community-first development. I would explore any chance to lower our property taxes while increasing our property values. I would aim to be a true voice for all Stony Pointers on the Town Board.
