Six priorities · First 90 days

Here is exactly what I will focus on — and what I will deliver.

Priority 1

Support Public Safety

Public safety and responsible spending should never be opposing priorities. I will bring together village leaders, police chiefs, and public-safety partners for a serious, collaborative conversation about the future of police services in Montgomery.

  • Staffing, vacancies, and recruitment
  • Overtime and dispatch communications
  • Mutual aid and shared services
  • Equipment and officer needs
  • Crisis and mental-health response
  • Costs, benefits, and coordination

By Day 90

A Public Safety and Police Services Recommendation with clear next steps for supporting our officers, serving residents, and spending taxpayer dollars responsibly.

Priority 2

Make Government More Transparent

Residents deserve to understand how their money is being spent. I will begin a comprehensive review of the Town's financial records, audits, spending, contracts, and services — not to cut for cutting's sake, but to make sure every dollar is doing the job residents are paying it to do.

  • Excessive or unnecessary spending
  • Duplicative or inefficient services
  • Contracts and recurring expenses
  • Areas where services are underfunded
  • Investments that prevent larger future costs

By Day 90

Published financial review findings and spending reform recommendations to shape the next Town budget.

Priority 3

Make It Easier to Get Help

If a resident needs food, housing, transportation, childcare, or another community resource, they shouldn't have to figure out which office to call first. I will work with Town staff to create a centralized Montgomery Community Resource Hub — one easy page where residents can find every local, county, and community resource in one place.

  • Food and housing assistance
  • Transportation and childcare
  • Senior and veterans' services
  • Mental-health and domestic violence resources
  • Employment, legal, and utility assistance
  • Libraries, community orgs, emergency resources

By Day 90

The Montgomery Community Resource Hub is live on the Town website. One link. One place. An easier way to find help.

Priority 4

Strengthen Local Food Resources

I will meet with leaders of the Montgomery Food Pantry and Good Samaritan Food Pantry to learn what they need and identify ways the Town can help connect residents with these vital resources.

  • Identify gaps in current pantry resources
  • Explore digital donation options via QR code or online payment
  • Connect pantry giving to the Community Resource Hub
  • Protect the full value of intended donations

By Day 90

A centralized resource page launched and, where organizations choose to participate, digital giving options established for our local food pantries.

Priority 5

Work Toward Affordable Housing

Affordable housing is essential to building a community where working families, seniors, and people who grew up here can continue to live and thrive. I will work directly with RUPCO and local stakeholders to identify realistic opportunities for Montgomery.

  • Housing needs that exist in our community
  • Types of housing programs that could work here
  • Properties or opportunities that may be appropriate
  • Funding and grant opportunities available
  • County, state, and other partnerships required

By Day 90

A Montgomery Housing Opportunity Framework outlining realistic opportunities, potential partners, and next steps for moving a housing initiative forward.

Priority 6

Report Back to the Community

At the end of my first 90 days, I will publish a public 90-Day Report Card so every resident can see exactly where we stand. Accountability shouldn't begin when the next election does. It should begin on Day One.

  • ✅ Completed — what we accomplished
  • 🔄 In Progress — what is actively moving forward
  • ➡️ Next Steps — what requires more work or partnership
  • 💡 What We Learned — what changed once the right people were at the table

By Day 90

A publicly available report — transparent, honest, and accessible to every resident in all three villages.

My Platform

Six Priorities for Montgomery

🧾

Fiscal Accountability

Transparent, itemized budgets residents can actually find online — no FOIL request required.

🏡

Affordable Housing

Partnering with organizations like RUPCO to bring housing options families can actually afford.

🥫

Food Security

Stronger support for local food pantries, including easier ways for neighbors to give what's actually needed.

🚌

Transportation Access

Expanding fare-free transit routes and working toward a real transit hub that connects our community.

📚

Library Equity

Every Maybrook resident deserves full library access — full stop.

Protecting Our Community from Data Centers

I support a moratorium on data center construction in Montgomery while we study the real impacts on our power grid, our water, our air, our property values, and our quality of life before any approvals are granted.
