I want to offer my decades of experience in community service and forward-thinking stewardship to our beautiful Town of Worthington by listening to, advocating for, and respecting our residents. The citizens of Worthington come from different walks of life, and their range of needs and hopes deserve to be heard.
Community First: As your next Selectperson, I'll prioritize our community’s needs, serving Worthington’s residents and businesses with humility, transparency, and accountability.
Responsible Stewardship: My goal as a member of the Selectboard will be to practice enthusiastic and benevolent oversight of Town Government through responsible financial management, fair and reasonable assessments, and sensible zoning—working to keep our taxes down, while simultaneously helping our community remain vibrant and rural.
Building Consensus: I believe in a Selectboard that can build rapport among the members of our community—one that fosters harmony and goodwill, and that sees its role to serve and assist its residents and businesses first and foremost, acting with humility and accountability towards all members of our community.
Embracing Freedoms: I'll champion residents' freedoms and property rights, respecting the law while welcoming and fostering reasonable autonomy on private lands.
Fresh Voices: Local government works best when it includes new voices and new perspectives. I pledge to bring a new perspective to the selectboard, and if elected, I pledge to serve a maximum of two terms in order to help ensure an influx of fresh leadership.
Thriving Together: Let's embrace Worthington's diverse identity as a rural retirement haven, a community for growing, working families, and a place where small, local businesses can both thrive and deliver much-needed local employment opportunities.
By fostering inclusivity, encouraging entrepreneurship, and developing a sense of stewardship, we can collectively ensure that our Town, its citizenry, its rural character, and environmental vitality can continue to thrive.
