The Issues
We’re living through a time of deep national division and growing inequality, and I believe the stakes are simply too high to sit on the sidelines. That’s why I’m stepping up with a clear vision: to bring our community together around shared Democratic values and to fight for real progress for working families, small businesses, and the most vulnerable among us.
Our democracy is at a turning point. Now more than ever, we need leaders who will fight for fairness, equity, and opportunity—leaders who will always put people first. That’s exactly the kind of leadership I intend to bring to the Dutchess County Legislature as a representative for Red Hook.
Throughout my life, I’ve been guided by a commitment to service. I served our country for more than two decades in uniform, and I’ve led through complex global business challenges. That experience has taught me the importance of discipline, compassion, and results-driven leadership—qualities I will bring to this race, and to the work of building a better future for our county.
Affordable Housing for All – Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. I will fight for local zoning reforms and support public-private partnerships that expand affordable housing options—so that working families, young people, and seniors can continue to live, work, and thrive in the communities they love.
My campaign is focused on the issues that matter most to our community:
Transparency and Accountability in Government – Good governance begins with openness, honesty, and respect for the people we serve. I will advocate for public budget hearings, open-door policies, and real-time communication—because government should work with the people, not behind closed doors.
Protecting Our Environment and Combatting Climate Change – I’m committed to advancing sustainable policies that protect our environment and preserve Dutchess County’s natural beauty for future generations. I’ll champion green infrastructure, support clean energy, and local conservation efforts—all while working to create good, sustainable jobs.
Expanding Access to Mental Health Care – Everyone deserves access to mental health care with dignity and compassion. I will fight for increased funding for mental health services, strengthen crisis response teams, and expand community-based support programs—so that help is always available when it’s needed most.
Strengthening Emergency and Public Safety Services – I’m committed to supporting our first responders with the equipment, training, and funding they need to keep our communities safe. At the same time, I’ll support community-centered safety initiatives that build trust, prevent harm, and ensure every resident feels protected and respected.
Building a Stronger Local Economy – I’ll work to grow a local economy that works for everyone—by supporting small businesses, expanding workforce training, and promoting fair wages and local hiring. Together, we can create good-paying jobs and ensure that every resident of Dutchess County has the opportunity to thrive.
Protecting Our Children’s Futures – Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, educated, and ready to lead. I will work for strong public schools, expanded access to affordable childcare and healthcare, and support local innovation—so our children have the foundation they need to succeed in a changing world.
