Why do you want to serve? Serving the public is very important to me. I have volunteered for the J.H. Ketcham Hose Co. for the past 32 years, serving as a director or officer for over 26 of those years. I held the rank of chief from 2003-2007, deputy treasurer 2007-present and am currently a director. I have served as councilman for eight years and I feel it is time to take my leadership experience and knowledge to the next level.

Supervisor | Dover, NY

2026 New York General Election

What are the biggest challenges facing your town and how will you deal with them? One of our biggest challenges is bringing in small businesses to provide opportunities for jobs for our residents as well as boosting our town's economy. I have been working with one local businessman who has personally reached out to a number of stores in an attempt to get them to open here. Another challenge has been to keep a well-balanced and responsible budget to keep our taxes down as much as possible. We have been successful in doing that for two of the budgets I have been involved in.

Public Services

The biggest challenge facing our constituents is the lack of variety of resources for shopping, job opportunities and entertainment. Therefore, choosing candidates whose focus is in the best interest of the town is so important. The town’s elected officials should make completing the comprehensive plan the focus of attention. This plan will open doors to expansion and growth. It will allow us to bring new businesses that will better serve the needs of our residents. This should be at the top of the supervisor’s list of priorities.
