Why are you running for this office? What are your top priorities?
I have been the Town Moderator for the past seven years and hope to be able to continue working to improve the efficiency of Wellesley's Annual and Special Town Meetings and also to continue recruiting and appointing quality candidates to the five standing Town Committees, including the 15 member Advisory Committee, for which the Moderator is the Appointing Authority in Wellesley.
