We need practical solutions that move Wellesley Township forward while preserving what makes it unique.
Why I want to be mayor
For nearly 30 years, I’ve been proud to call this Township home. I’ve seen firsthand what makes our community so special – the hardworking people, strong values, and a shared commitment to helping each other thrive.
But, I also believe it’s time for new leadership and a fresh look. One focused on practical solutions that move Wellesley forward while preserving what makes it unique.
I care deeply about this community and the people who live here.
I believe my experience in business, community service, and leadership can help move Wellesley forward in a positive way.
Most importantly, I want to listen to residents, work together, and make decisions that reflect the needs of our community.
What I Stand for
- Fiscal responsibility
- Sensible growth
