Loving Your Community
As a proud citizen of my community for over 30 years, I decided to run for Common Council because I see a unique opportunity to improve the leadership of the city I so love. Peekskill is diverse economically, socially and culturally. I am determined to effect positive change that will benefit all our citizens and improve our environment for business development.
I am honored to be part of a diverse, respectful team that I know will work together. Communication will be open and transparent. Our team has the skill sets that will complement our city staff and serve our city’s best interests.
