Onondaga County is at a turning point. The decisions we make over the next few years will shape our region for generations, so it’s important that we elect leaders who will always put their community first.
Our biggest challenge is making sure the growth ahead improves the quality of life for the people who already call the Town of Clay and Onondaga County home.
That means working to make our community more affordable, managing growth responsibly, and spending taxpayer dollars wisely. I’ll push for more starter homes and affordable housing options, expand access to childcare assistance, prepare our infrastructure for what’s to come, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share in taxes instead of shifting the burden onto working families.
I’m running to build a new way forward, where our neighbors benefit from growth and our children and grandchildren can afford to build their lives here.
My approach to public service begins with transparency and accountability, and I’ve made that commitment clear through my work.
On the School Board, I fought to have every meeting recorded and livestreamed so people can watch from home or on their own time. It also created a video record of every vote cast and decision made.
I’ve taken that same approach throughout my career, first as a Constituent Liaison and now as a Director of Communications in the NYS Legislature. In both roles, people have counted on me to listen, help them get answers, and keep them informed.
I’ll bring that same commitment to the County Legislature, showing up, explaining my decisions, and answering to the people I serve.

Affordability and responsible growth are two of our biggest challenges. I will continue working to keep property taxes down while investing in infrastructure, public safety, and essential services as our community grows.
I believe government works best when residents are informed and heard. I will continue to be accessible, communicate openly, listen to constituents, and make decisions based on what is best for the people I represent.
