Together today. Stronger tomorrow.

I’m running for Mayor because it's my life's work, and it's time to do it for my hometown.

As mayor I will restore trust, transparency, and collaboration to city hall and work with the public to fulfill the promise of a thriving community open to all.

Let’s get back to basics and make progress for all of Melrose.
