Ward 3 is flush with open space that is not always prioritized or used properly. Some has been left unused or abandoned. I'll continue to protect these parcels, work for conservation easements and restrictions and work to keep Hardy Pond clean.

I've spent the better part of my adult life involved in community and youth organizations. As the Ward 3 City Councillor, I will continue to be responsive, responsible and accountable and will communicate quickly and often so people stay informed. 

Large developments in Lexington are infringing on our homes in Ward 3. The Lexington solar farm was fought off successfully. Zoning impacts against single-family neighborhoods are on the horizon. I'll be out in front of these to protect our properties and keep the character of single-family neighborhoods intact.

Waltham is the envy of all of our surrounding neighbors. Our property values should increase while taxes stay low and flat. I'm a homeowner and taxpayer and worked to keep our residential taxes the lowest possible by law while improving our quality of life. I'll also work with local businesses to help them thrive.

The Trapelo Road corridor is busy and I have worked with families and the city to improve public safety and make traffic flow improvements. Every child and adult should feel safe riding their bike or walking around our neighborhood, streets and city.

I work at increasing transparency and use my information technology experience to improve government access and services. I've created several websites and used social media to update residents weekly. I want to continue to serve as your Ward 3 Councillor.
