Questions for the Candidate
Why are you running for the Treasurer’s position?
I’ve been doing the job for 12 years and because of my experience working with town hall employees, the staff at TD Bank, and the Board of Finance, I know I can continue to serve the town in this capacity.
What inspired you to go into public service?
I was asked years ago if I wanted to serve. I’ve been involved in quite a few volunteer organizations over the past 47 years and felt I wanted to continue to serve the town as long as possible.
