I am running for re-election to the Select Board because, while I believe I’ve had an impact on various aspects of town services, I still have work to do. One of my stated goals in 2022 was to foster greater engagement in town government among Grafton residents. I have encouraged participation in committee work, so I’m pleased to see there are currently few openings on Boards and Committees. I have worked hard to generate a collaborative environment where communication is productive and amicable, and I have encouraged the involvement of a wide variety of stakeholders. I have remained accessible to residents, business owners, and town employees, continuing to encourage new ideas and to be consistent in addressing concerns, always bearing in mind my commitment as an advocate for all Grafton residents. While serving as Chair over the past year, I have presided over some difficult meetings related to growth, to issues with businesses, and, most recently, to the town budget. I believe I have been able to do so in a professional manner that has produced results, even when faced with opposing views. I hope to continue serving Grafton on its Select Board with objectivity and practicality.
