Having lived in town for 35 years I want to apply the experience of my nearly 30 years in town government including nine years as a selectman to address the challenges facing Lexington today. I will:

- I believe the people of Lexington want and deserve excellent schools and strong public services.
- I believe in and have deep respect for the professional Town Administrator model of local government
