Slogan
Fresh Voices for Change
Watchung faces three major challenges: infrastructure resilience, public safety, and government transparency. Recent flooding highlights the need for stronger stormwater management and investment in resilient infrastructure. As an emergency physician, I know how essential it is to ensure our first responders have the tools and training they need, while also making our streets safer for pedestrians and families. Finally, residents deserve a more transparent, accountable government that communicates clearly and uses taxpayer dollars responsibly.
I believe local government should focus on protecting and serving residents, not acting as an extension of federal immigration enforcement. Cooperation between municipal authorities and ICE undermines trust, discourages immigrant families from seeking help, and makes communities less safe. I support policies that separate local policing from immigration enforcement, ensuring all residents—regardless of status—feel secure accessing services, reporting crimes, and engaging in civic life.
Watchung’s quality of life depends on safe neighborhoods, strong infrastructure, and trust in local government. Public safety is essential, and I will ensure our first responders have the resources to protect residents while making our streets safer for pedestrians and families. I will prioritize fiscal responsibility to make sure taxpayer dollars are used wisely. Finally, I will work to improve transparency and accountability so residents feel connected to and confident in their local government.
