Running for office!

I'm delighted to be running for Town Meeting in my hometown of Brookline. If you're a Brookline voter, elections are on May 6! If you live in Precinct 11, I'd like to ask for your vote! And everyone everywhere, get involved (at least, if you agree with me!)


What I sent the League of Women Voters about myself:

Question 1:  What are the top two critical issues in your precinct and/or the Town and how would you address them? 

Brookline has much to be proud of in its strong community, urban living, and education system, and these should continue to be areas of focus. I’d like to expand the work TM has done on environmental sustainability by continuing to support efforts towards reducing energy waste and increasing use of alternate energy sources. I’d also like to see Brookline lead in public health, making it easy for people to eat well, be active, and access preventative as well as therapeutic health care.

Question 2:  Biographical data
