Question: What do you perceive to be the major issue of the office for which you are running and how do you propose to address the issue?

As Braintree moves from a selectman/town meeting government to a mayor/town council government it is imperative that policy and financial decisions over the next nine months do not undermine the foundation of our new government before it has a chance to take hold.I offer well over a decade of experience and proven leadership to manage the towns business during this historic change to make this transition as transparent as possible.
