I believe in:
Development that is thoughtful, and balanced. The economic well-being of our community should be balanced with housing options that are affordable for all ages and stages of life
Monitoring the decommissioning of waste from Pilgrim Nuclear. The public health of our community should not be risked as it is disposed of
Listening to our community, and bringing its concerns to the Meeting
