I pledge to work towards achieving a process that allows for more open communication at Town Board meetings. Each and every resident should have their voices heard, respected and shared with our Town elected officials. I have already enjoyed many years of public service in Rush, working with residents, as well as my experience as an educator. Rush is our home town and I look forward to serving all of our residents as an elected official.
