No More Games

There is an endless list of what is driving me to run for office. The bottom line is I have been in the trenches taking risks and fighting to push Amesbury forward for years. 

Under current leadership, Amesbury is on an unsustainable path on all major community indicators such as taxes, the health of the school system, morale, crumbling infrastructure, and stalled commercial development. It is clear Amesbury needs a fresh set of eyes and a more diverse set of opinions in our community’s political leadership to end the games and better harness the wonderful community spirit that Amesbury possesses.

To make a real, positive difference, it takes a bold, relentless leader willing to challenge all status quo powers. 

I will not be intimidated and am not fazed by the usual power games. When elected, we will become a leader and example of outstanding local development that other communities will follow.

Everyone will be treated exactly the same. From the lonely homeowner, all the way up to the biggest traditional power players. 

The Right Candidate for Amesbury

I am a proven fighter for the ideals of rights, truth, and community, I am comfortable dealing across the political spectrum and have a fearless nature with regard to voicing and doing what needs to be done. I strongly consider all points of view and do not want to shut out anyone from the process, even those who are vehemently opposed to me. In fact, I thrive on debate and love to be able to find consensus from many divergent points of view. One of my slogans is “together we can do extraordinary things.” I am a strong believer in always pushing forward to make positive change no matter what and never getting bogged down in the negative or finding excuses for why things can’t be done. 

All that matters to me is working with people who want to be proactive, bold, and creative in finding new ways to make positive change. We are clearly living in a time of an extremely polarized political climate, but that is not something that needs to be feared. There is a way to harness all that genuine passion into a positive action plan that greatly improves the lives of our communities.

Still, these are enormously challenging times. With the wide variety of complex challenges facing communities and households, I believe local governments need to step up their game and breadth of issues they are willing to tackle for the benefit of the population beyond traditional issues such as taxes and commercial growth. I believe local leaders need to become more aggressive in addressing critical issues such as addressing the mental health emergency facing both children and adults, outlining parental rights, demanding full government transparency throughout the state, and highlighting critically needed reforms in places such as the family court system, which tie into issues such as mental health and school performance.

There is so much that needs to be done, but I love the challenge. Let's work together, as together we can do extraordinary things.
