I love our town and want to work together for a stronger Fairfield. First, we need an independent voice fighting for , not a political party.I am the only unaffiliated candidate, and I am totally self-financed; I answer only to you, not to party leaders.Next, I want us to have a transparent/responsive government, control excessive tax growth, keep our schools strong, and have safe streets for our kids to play.

 

I bring a unique set of skills to the job to achieve the things above.I am a tested leader; I rose to the rank of Colonel and led Airmen every day for 28 years; I know how to build and lead winning teams.I have 12 years of experience working billion-dollar budgets; I can craft budgets to control your property taxes.I taught for eight years as a Professor at the University of Notre Dame and as a flight instructor/evaluator; I know first-hand what is required to resource a great education for our children. Finally, I am retired; being your Representative will be my full-time job; you are my priority.I am ready to serve and put my experience and time to work for you in District 9!
