Why am I running?

After 6-years on the Essex Town Selectboard, it is time to step up to the State Legislature. I have served with integrity and consistency and intend to continue forward in that vein. I have no specific agenda other than to represent you and I will not be subject to the pre-determined positions or national politics of the major parties. I will approach representation as I do on the Essex Selectboard by doing my homeowrk and listening to constituents.

Some argue that Independents are ineffective. In a 150-member Legislature, all individual members are, by themselves, ineffective. Effectiveness comes from the relationships that are established, the positions that are taken and the proposals that are made and followed through.
