Municipal Election 2023 - Running for Re-election
Tomorrow morning marks the opening of the Dover municipal election filing period. This moment brings me to think back to nearly six years ago in 2017 when I first made the decision to put my name forward and run for office. It was a moment of excitement and nerves as I sought to serve my community in a new way. This year, I will put my name forward on the ballot and ask the residents of Dover to put their trust in me once again to represent you all as an At-large member of City Council.
Although I have said it before, it has been an honor, a privilege, and a challenge to serve in this role for the past six years. I am so proud of the efforts Council has undertaken over the past few years to work more collaboratively with the School Board, move Dover forward as a leader in management of our environment and natural resources, and support a growing and thriving small business community here. While I am proud of those efforts, I hope to earn your support to continue to serve as one of the two At Large members of City Council as I feel there is more I can do over the next two years to bring your voices into Council decisions.
I hope to continue representing the voices of young families in our community, help our City continue on is path towards sustainability and resilience, and providing opportunities for all our residents. I pledge to continue bringing attention to the issues members of our community have raised with me time and again - economy, education, environment, and equity. While we may not always agree, I am committed to continuing to listen and learn from all our residents to build a future for everyone in our city.
