Why are you running for town supervisor?
I decided to run because our country and our Town are at a crossroads. Goshen deserves a real, honest choice for Supervisor. I am offering a vision our Town needs – to diversify our tax base, expand agritourism, and encourage smart commercial growth. No more over-industrial growth that has failed to lower our taxes. It is time for a change.

What are the top three things you aim to accomplish if elected?
2. Hold large corporations accountable. Over a dozen PILOT programs have been handed to large corporations in Goshen, giving away your money on a promise that taxes would go down. They have not. I will hold PILOT recipients to account and stop the handouts to big business in the future.

Advocates for diversifying the tax base through agritourism and commercial growth while opposing further industrial development.

Plans to hold recipients of payments in lieu of taxes accountable and end future tax incentives for large businesses.

What are the top three things you aim to accomplish if elected?
1. Protect open space. Goshen’s identity is its farmland – the bucolic home of the trotters and the black dirt region. I will strengthen zoning protections to stop warehouses from replacing working farms and create a fund to preserve the fields and farms threatened by overdevelopment.

What are the top three things you aim to accomplish if elected?
3. Stop bringing more trash into our Town. Goshen already hosts two landfills along the Wallkill River and multiple transfer stations serving other Towns. We will not be the trash capital of Orange County. As Supervisor, I will slow the torrent of trucks and trash flowing into Goshen.
