Experience and Qualifications
I served six years in the U.S. Army twenty-seven years as an FBI Special Agent. I was elected as Town Supervisor in West Seneca in 2019 and was re-elected in 2023 in a landslide. In my time in office I have fixed West Seneca's finances, obtaining a credit rating upgrade and building our reserves, while at the same time producing five years of no town tax increases and improved services. I always keep in mind that every penny we spend comes from taxpayers. I always strive to give taxpayers the best possible services at the lowest possible cost. Every resident is treated equally, fairly, and with respect regardless of what they believe, where they live, or how much money they have.
Community Involvement
I am a member of the West Seneca Rotary Club and participate in many volunteer events as a regular resident and as a town supervisor. Prior to being elected, I was on the board of directors of the Family Justice Center of Erie County.
Education
Bachelor's degree from University of Maryland and a Masters Degree in Public Policy from George Mason University
Campaign Endorsements
I have some, but the only endorsement that counts is the one on Election Day.
1. To make NY State more affordable by reducing government spending, reducing state mandates, and increasing state aid to municipalities.
2. To fight crime by supporting local law enforcement and making state jails safer places for inmates and corrections officers.
3. To enhance good government by holding a referendum on a constitutional amendment to enact term limits for Governor, Lt. Governor, and state legislature,
Nuclear power is the only technology that can provide large amounts of emission-free power in all weather and at all times of the day. If we are serious about reducing emissions, then new plants will need to be built and the Indian Point plant should be reopened if it can be done economically. Solar has its place, but not at the expense of upstate farms and forests.
The state has already admitted that pursuing the CLCPA will raise residents' costs by thousands of dollars every year. This is a bad policy. We can achieve emission-free power generation, but only if we face the reality of how to power a reliable electrical grid.
The main policy that will promote social and racial justice is to treat everyone fairly and equally regardless of any personal characteristic, location, party affiliation, financial condition, and so on. Any policy that is counter to that is bad policy. Every NY child deserves an excellent education. The current system is not doing that.
Since the goal is to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, then the government should start doing that now. Every person should be treated equally, full stop. Voting power comes from voting for people who best align with your priorities.
