Relevant Experience
Board of Public Works and Municipal Light Plant Board last 9 years. Town Meeting member last 6.
I’ve had the honor of serving as an elected volunteer in this office for the last nine years, and welcome the support (and votes) of Wellesley residents to allow me to serve for another three years. Serving on the Board of Public Works is an important and consequential role in our town government. We’re responsible for the physical infrastructure that makes Wellesley run, and makes our town special. I want to ensure that we provide great service to the community, maintain and upgrade our town infrastructure, focus on sustainability and environmental impact, and ensure the safety of our town residents and employees. And I want to continue to help balance the needs and wants of the community against the operating and budget constraints we face.
