I have long experience serving in public office in Stamford. I have served on the Board of Finance since 2013 and served as Chairman since 2015. I also served on the Board of Education from 2006-2009 and as President for one year. I have a proven track record of prudent fiscal management of the city, working closely with two mayors and balancing the city's needs to provide services for its residents with keeping tax increases reasonable. I have chaired the Board of Finance during its most consequential actions in many years, including navigating the budget process of 2020 at the onset of the pandemic and creating the school construction fund (also known as Fund 57).

The most significant long-term challenge facing Stamford is bringing the Police and Fire pension funds up to being fully funded without imposing enormous costs to the taxpayers. Solving it requires better asset management of the two funds.

State funding for Westhill was increased significantly in the 2025 legislative session and is not the issue; otherwise, the city simply could not afford to rebuild Westhill. The city should pay for Westhill with a combination of bonding and pay-as-you-go. The Board of Finance has been executing on this plan for four consecutive years and Fund 57 now contains nearly $70 million, dramatically lowering long-term bonding costs to taxpayers.
