Still Showing Up for Manchester
The election is over but my commitment to Manchester is not.
Over the past year, I had the opportunity to meet hundreds of neighbors, have real conversations, and see firsthand how much people care about this community. This election also saw more engagement and turnout than we typically see in local races, which says something important: people are paying attention.
While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, I’m proud of the conversations that were started and the awareness that was built around local government.
What Comes Next
I will continue to stay actively involved as a resident, volunteer, and community advocate.
One thing that became clear during this process is how difficult it can be for residents to get clear, consistent information about what’s happening inside City Hall. That shouldn’t be the case.
So I’ll be continuing a monthly series: “Inside Manchester City Government”. These updates will break down Board of Aldermen meetings in a straightforward way. What was discussed, what decisions were made, and why it matters. Because informed residents make stronger communities.
Why Engagement Matters Right Now
Manchester just elected a new mayor and two new aldermen. They will officially take office in May, but the direction of the city is already being shaped.
Elections are important, but they are only the starting point.
Residents chose these individuals based on the ideas, commitments, and standards they presented during their campaigns. Now is the time to stay engaged and see how those translate into action.
-
Will decisions reflect what was promised?
-
Will standards remain consistent once in office?
-
Will choices be made with the full community in mind?
Local government works best when residents don’t just participate during elections, but continue paying attention, asking questions, and staying involved in the decisions that follow. Because these decisions aren’t abstract they directly impact daily life in Manchester.
Moving Forward
Regardless of how you voted, or what brought you to this page, you are part of this community.
And so am I.
I’ll continue to show up, ask questions, share information, and stay engaged because that’s how strong communities are built.

Our Vision
People First, Manchester Forward:
As a dedicated Manchester resident and community volunteer, my mission is to serve our city with integrity, compassion, and accountability. I am running for Alderman to ensure every voice in Manchester is heard and respected: regardless of background, neighborhood, or political affiliation.
I am committed to caring for the strong foundation Manchester already has while helping our city grow thoughtfully and responsibly. That means keeping our streets safe, protecting our environment, supporting local neighborhoods, and making decisions that reflect the needs of residents, not partisan politics. Every decision I make will put Manchester residents first and help our community continue to grow in a way that benefits everyone.
