Priority Issues:
I've enjoyed hearing from you and welcome your perspective. So many of you have shared your concerns with me and I am listening. I will work collaboratively in Concord to develop creative solutions and support smart policies that will foster a:
STRONG ECONOMY To build Milford's economic prosperity I will:
Work to keep Milford and NH a great place to live and work, which will improve our quality of life and attract businesses and jobs
Make responsible financial decisions that curb our escalating property taxes
Back state economic policies that support working families
STRONG COMMUNITY To promote our Milford community's well-being I will:
Vote in support of our bipartisan-designed legislation that extends NH's Health Protection Program. This will ensure ALL NH citizens access to affordable, quality healthcare
Advocate for our young children, who are our future, and promote affordable, quality child care and pre-K
Stand behind policies that foster high quality public education and support full-day Kindergarten
Secure access to quality supports and services at the state and local levels for Milford community members in need to ensure their well-being and independence
STRONG PUBLIC SAFETY To ensure our public safety, I will:
Vote for effective policies that help save lives and keep our kids and community safe
Stand behind solutions to combat the drug crisis and enhance substance abuse prevention and treatment
These are just a few examples of how I will work collaboratively to develop cost-effective solutions and smart policies to secure a BETTER FUTURE for you, for our kids, for everyone in Milford. I look forward to hearing your concerns and perspective.
