I've served on the Chariho School Committee before, and I know what real transparency looks like. I'm running again because our kids deserve a School Committee that invests in public education and puts them first.
Hopkinton holds 4 of 12 seats on the Chariho School Committee, and every one of them counts. Decisions about your kids' schools, budgets, staffing, and programs get made at that table, and right now some members are using it to push political agendas instead of focusing on students. I'm running because that has to change.
ABOUT
I'm a proud Chariho resident and public servant. I've served on the Chariho School Committee before, and I've served on Charlestown Town Council. Hopkinton's Town Council appointed me to the Chariho Building Committee to help oversee construction of new elementary schools, and I've stayed engaged in this district ever since.I believe in public education as the core of our community, and I believe an investment in our schools is an investment in every generation that comes after us. I'm running again because Hopkinton's kids deserve a School Committee member who brings real experience, real transparency, and a real commitment to fiscal responsibility to that table.
ISSUES
INVEST IN PUBLIC EDUCATION
I believe in the public school system as the core of our community, and our country. An investment in public education is an investment in our future that benefits all generations. Chariho students deserve an advocate in their corner, and I will always put our students and their access to learning opportunities first.
REAL TRANSPARENCY
The Chariho School Committee provides a yearly budget process that gives Hopkinton residents the transparency they deserve when it comes to how their tax dollars are being spent to support our schools. I am committed to increased transparency, understanding, and fiscal responsibility when it comes to the school budget. I understand that property taxes can be difficult to pay, especially when our Town leaders have failed to prioritize sustainable economic growth that would supplement the tax base for generations.
STUDENTS FIRST, ALWAYS
Every vote I cast starts with one question: is this good for kids? Not politics. Not ideology. Kids. Chariho's School Committee has done its best work through respectful dialogue and decisions that put students ahead of outside agendas, and I'll keep it that way. I won't let special interests turn our schools into a political battleground, and I won't let fear-based rhetoric replace real information for Hopkinton families.
FAIR TREATMENT FOR EVERY STUDENT
I'll fight to protect equal access and rights for all students, including students with special needs and LGBTQ+ students, against any effort to quietly roll those protections back. All students have a right to an inclusive learning environment, and hatred and bigotry have no place in our schools.
CONTACT & SUPPORT
Hopkinton deserves a School Committee that puts students first. I'd be honored to have your support.
