Looking ahead to 2nd term
The last two years of being the Mayor of Millerton have been rewarding, challenging, and encouraging. Because of the support from Village voters, I get to continue overseeing the important work of managing the Village for a second term.
The Village has projects in the works that will allow us to continue to have a great place to live and work. To accomplish these projects, I will continue bringing in the needed funds to keep them moving forward while controlling costs. It is essential for Village taxpayers to feel confident that their money is spent wisely to benefit the entire community.
I extend my sincere thanks to the Village voters for reelecting me and the Democratic Committee of Northeast for your guidance and support. I am honored to serve as your Mayor for the next two years.
My door is always open, so please reach out to me with your questions and concerns. I am more than happy to sit down for a conversation. It is your Village, and I want to hear from you.

Appreciating the election turnout
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many voters of Millerton who turned out to vote at the Village Election last Tuesday and to especially thank those who cast a vote for me to continue to represent them as a Village Trustee.
I appreciate the faith and confidence in my service to our village that they have expressed through their votes and in the many conversations we have had during the election campaign.
My aim will continue to see that they are served in a sensible and rational manner by our village government, to assist our community in addressing its problems, and to help our village make progress while doing those things affordably for all of our residents.
I hope that our citizens will remain interested in village affairs and attend board meetings so that communication between village government and its constituents can be strengthened.

A heartfelt thank-you to Village voters
I wanted to extend a huge thank you to all of the Millerton Voters that took the time out of their day on June 20th to come out and vote. It is the collective power of engaged citizens like you that drives positive change and strengthens our community.
I’m especially thankful for those of you that gave me your support and voted for me. Your trust and confidence in my abilities is both humbling and inspiring.
I am aware of the challenges and opportunities that lie before us, but am eager to work through them to continue to improve Millerton for families of all ages and backgrounds.
Throughout my campaign, I made a pledge to listen to your concerns and make the Village’s happenings more readily available. I stay committed to these pledges in my term as Trustee.
Once again, I extend my deepest gratitude to the Village voters for entrusting me with this significant responsibility. I am truly honored and privileged to serve you as your elected representative.

Our extraordinary volunteers
Recently I have needed, on three occasions, to call in help from the rescue squad, the fire department and/or the police. Once for a friend who had a terrible fall in my house, then I had a horrendous car crash on Smithfield Road and, just a week or so ago, a potential electrical fire in my house, the source of which I could not find.
I can’t adequately describe how extraordinary our volunteers were on each occasion. Not only were they incredibly speedy getting to where needed, but were so professional in their work and protocols, and compassionate and steady helping people in shock, fear and stress. They exemplify the best of what neighbors are and the beauty of our small-town ways and community spirit. They deserve our support in every way, as they can support the rest of us.
