Education

Strong Schools. Stronger Suffolk.

When we invest in our classrooms, we invest in our future. I will continue ensuring our schools have the resources they need to help every child succeed.

Taxes

Lower Taxes. Responsible Spending.

I will continue protecting Suffolk’s strong credit rating so every dollar we borrow is secured at the best possible rate. Smart financial stewardship keeps costs down and protects hardworking taxpayers.

Development

Smart Growth. Homes for Suffolk Families.

Quality residential development matters. I will support a range of housing options so the people who work in Suffolk can afford to live in Suffolk and put down roots here.

As your Councilman…

I will continue to listen carefully, study the issues thoroughly, and work diligently to address the challenges facing our streets, neighborhoods, schools, and city. Thoughtful leadership leads to practical solutions that strengthen Suffolk for everyone.
