I will always follow through and follow up. You may not always agree with me, but you will know the thinking behind my decisions, and you will be regularly informed of the progress I make as leader of our city. 

I will serve the people of Rutland with excellence, and expect the same of the city’s employees, the board of aldermen, and our appointed officials. We are public servants, and must uphold the principles of representative government, no matter our role. 

When you vote for me, you are choosing a person who will represent you, who will be responsive to you, and who will listen to you. I will focus on the “doing” and expect every resident to hold me accountable for my plan.

We will develop a city master plan, including targeted population growth numbers and tools to fill the gaps in service at city hall. 

We will connect our regional, state and federal resources to get the job done for Rutlanders. Rutland City does not stand on its own - and we must make strong connections at all levels with our county and statewide partners, to ensure that we are not just asking for support; we are carving the path for our unique solutions, and asking our partners to invest their time and dollars in Rutland’s plan for its future. 

I will create an open and accessible city hall that offers better ways to do business and easier access to city services and information. We will streamline processes that have historically created barriers, to make Rutland a welcoming city for everyone. 

I will lead the way in getting rid of the silos that separate city departments from each other. People working in City Hall will be encouraged to collaborate strategically to tackle challenges and better serve the people of Rutland. 

My administration will pursue state and federal grants so that Rutland City’s taxpayers do not have to pay the bill for investments in our city. From building housing to beautification, to providing more mental health services and supporting our police, there is money out there for cities like Rutland; I will be proactive in pursuing it.
