Considering the position you are running for, what do you feel are the three most pressing issues?

Fiscal Responsibility & Budget Oversight

Edgecomb must establish a strong culture of financial oversight to ensure that town budgets and expenses are managed responsibly. I will work to improve tracking, accountability, and long-term planning to safeguard taxpayer dollars while maintaining essential services. Every dollar spent should be justified, efficient, and aligned with our community’s priorities.

Commitment to State Regulations & Compliance

Following state regulations is not optional—it’s necessary to keep our town in good standing and avoid costly penalties. I will ensure Edgecomb adheres to state guidelines in financial management, infrastructure, and town operations. Compliance not only protects us legally but also positions us to receive state funding and grants that can benefit our town.

Transparency & Strategic Planning for Regionalization

As our region grows, Edgecomb must plan strategically for the future. Working collaboratively with neighboring communities on shared services—such as emergency response, education, and infrastructure—can save costs and improve efficiency. Transparency in decision-making will be my priority, ensuring residents have a clear voice in shaping regional initiatives that affect our town.

With my background in town governance, budgeting, and business management, I am ready to bring fresh energy, accountability, and a commitment to open communication to the Selectboard. I ask for your vote and the opportunity to serve our town with integrity and dedication. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I want to hear from you!

Any other thoughts on why you are running or what you can bring to the office?

I am running for the Edgecomb Selectboard because strong leadership, experience, and accountability are essential to our town’s success.

With my past experience on both the Selectboard and Planning Board, I understand the challenges we face and the importance of responsible decision-making and long-term planning. My background in budgeting and business management has equipped me with the skills to oversee town finances, ensure resources are used efficiently, and promote sustainable growth. This experience has given me valuable insight into the issues facing Edgecomb and the practical solutions needed to move our town forward.

I will take a hands-on approach to budgeting, ensuring every dollar is spent wisely while maintaining essential services. I also understand the complexities of running a business and will apply that same strategic thinking to town governance.

My goal is to foster transparency, strengthen financial oversight, and develop long-term plans that keep Edgecomb on the right path.

I am committed to working for and with the people of Edgecomb. I would be honored to earn your vote and serve our community with dedication and integrity.
