Issues

Priorities for Northampton:
Efficient Government and Economic responsibility

As mayor, one of my first priory's is to complete a forensic audit of the city's financial records. To find evidence of waste, fraud or other irregularities. Certified fraud examiners and forensic accountants will conduct the audit. This audit will form a solid foundation to build on, the results of this audit will be shared with the public.

A priority, is to reduce real estate taxes and water/sewer charges. To encourages local business development e-commerce and entrepreneurship. Excessive government, taxation and regulation are a main cause of individuals' reduced economic freedom, less economic freedom creates more poverty, less affluence and more disruption to economies.

City bylaws, building codes, any rule, regulations or law shall be reviewed to ensure they serve the people — not bureaucracy.

A commitment to education:
Excellence, not lowered standards

To confirm all city educators are state certified teachers. To investigate if teacher hiring's and student testing standards have been lowered, if so, why. To visit other educational models, other than traditional models. Including how each individual student learns — a one size fits all system, does not serve every student to their potential. 

My stance on key issues

• I am opposed to the downtown Main Street project.

• I am opposed to Northampton being a sanctuary city.

• I support our police department in pursuit of all investigations of crime, including aiding State and Federal authorities in apprehending persons who are a danger to citizens and visitors.

• I am opposed to gun law restrictions for law abiding citizens.

"Together, we can reclaim Northampton's potential and build a brighter future for all. I ask for your vote, donations and time, to work together, to develop Northampton, a city we can all be proud of."
