Town Supervisor
I’m extremely proud of what my administration has accomplished in the past 16 months. And I want to continue that forward momentum and build on the groundwork we’ve laid.
The previous administration left a mess behind. Money was being wasted on expensive contracts. Our Town infrastructure had been neglected for years. Development projects were pushed through without the necessary protections for the Town. The Granite Knolls Sports & Recreation Complex was just a hole in the ground.
My first term was about righting the ship and getting the Town to a place where it could simply function again.
We’ve already achieved a great deal in a short time. Like renegotiating contracts to save the Town money and identifying new sources of millions in revenue. Taking action to repair infrastructure and expand business opportunities. And strengthening vital programs that serve our community and preserve our environment.
The job of Town Supervisor is not a glamorous one. It shouldn’t be politicized or turned into a partisan platform for furthering self-interests. The job is about rolling up your sleeves, digging in, learning what makes the Town work, and delivering on behalf of its citizens every day. It’s about being a true public servant.
I believe there’s more that unites us than divides us. We are all invested in Yorktown. I’ve worked hard to encourage residents’ participation in the decisions that shape our future. We’ve changed the tone of our Town government. So, let’s not go backwards to partisanship and divisive politics. Let’s keep moving forward.
I want to continue making Yorktown better than I found it. I created the Economic and Business Revitalization Committee to offer a fresh perspective—on our economic growth and how to preserve what makes our Town special. We’re already implementing some incredible recommendations. And we’re just getting started.
I believe in the Town’s motto of progress with preservation. Respecting our roots, while ensuring we continue to grow and prosper as a community. And that’s how I plan to keep getting the job done, for all of the people of Yorktown.
