Precinct 2

My charge as Moderator is to conduct the legislative business of the community fairly and legally, assuring that all sides of any given issue are heard in an efficient manner. It is important that everyone who has an opinion be allowed to speak, all the while making sure that the body as a whole can reach its decisions in a timely manner. I have served as a moderator for the last 26 years, and I hope to continue serving in the role to help guide the body in whatever direction it chooses.

Since March 2020, Reading has faced enormous health, social and financial challenges. Both via Zoom and in person, it has been my privilege to provide the collaborative, thoughtful leadership to keep us safe, encourage economic development, support our schools, reduce our climate impact and set a course for the Reading of tomorrow. In this unprecedented time in our history, Reading needs experienced leadership to accomplish outstanding community goals such as a new Killam School, achieving carbon neutrality, solutions for our Seniors, and maintaining fiscal health.

I’m seeking re-election to a 3-year seat on the School Committee. Our schools have come a long way since March 2020, and they are stronger. There have been many positive changes in programming, staffing, and curriculum. I'm proud of the work that the SC has accomplished together, and I'm hopeful about the conversations and ideas being explored for the future. There is more work to be done to continue to move RPS forward, and to ensure our schools are safe and supportive learning environments where all students can thrive. With your support, I look forward to being a part of the next three years.

When I was first elected to Town Meeting, I won with 2 votes, mine and my wife’s. I've been serving since, because there was no one willing to do the mundane but important work of Town Meeting.

I’ve been a resident since 1999 when my wife and I moved here to start our family. The attributes that drew us here remain important today: family-friendly, safe, great schools, community activities and more. I’m running for town meeting to do my small part to serve Reading. I’m open minded and try to see multiple sides of a given topic. Rational thought, analysis and problem solving are my foundation. If elected, I will collaborate with integrity and respect on the business of our town.

I previously served a 3-year TM term and am running to represent my Precinct 2 neighbors again. I enjoy being involved in the Reading community as a volunteer and board member of the Reading Food Pantry. I also helped the town create the community garden at Mattera Cabin last year and am working on the expansion for 2023. I would appreciate your vote so I can continue to collaborate with other community members and town staff to make decisions that will benefit all of Reading’s residents.
