I’m running to help restore a sense of trust and inclusion in city government—where every resident feels heard, respected, and empowered to shape our future. Whether it’s speaking up in a council meeting, updating the General Plan, or evaluating growth proposals, I’ll lead with integrity, experience, and a clear commitment to protecting Providence’s unique character.

In May, after raising concerns at a council meeting, a resident pointedly asked me, “Who invited you?” I didn’t feel welcome and that message and feeling stuck with me. Our meetings should be different—every resident should feel welcome in civic life—even when opinions differ. Providence values independence, not top-down mandates. I’ll support regulations that protect safety and quality of life—without micromanaging how people live or use their property.
Providence has done as well as any city in securing grant funding for capital projects like the skate park and bike lanes. Fiscal stewardship also means making smart, sometimes tough, choices. We must ensure salaries are competitive yet responsible, plan long-term for public safety and infrastructure, and attract the right commercial businesses to grow our tax base without raising rates.
I oppose ALL high-density developments that conflict with Providence’s General Plan. That plan was shaped by public input and careful planning. It identifies where townhomes and apartments may fit—but outside those areas, residents rightly expect lower-density neighborhoods. I work in real estate development and deeply understand the affordability crisis. But Providence cannot carry this burden alone. We shouldn’t become the default workforce housing hub for other cities. Real solutions require regional cooperation, not local sacrifice.
