"I am proud to have served as a trustee for the past eight years and am still impressed with our strong Trustee “TEAM”, its dedication, its commitment, and its public service to the community. I especially enjoy our spirited debates on major issues, always ending with decisive resolutions.

As liaison to the Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Committee, Planning Board, Zoning Board, and the Tarrytown Lakes Committee, I look forward to the continued work with these committed committee members to improve the quality of life for all the residents of Tarrytown. Also, I look forward to the continued oversight of New York State’s analyses and final decision on the replacement and reconstruction options for the aging Tappan Zee Bridge.

My Vision: I would like to see the development of the Eastview Pump Station as a cultural center and clean water back-up source for Tarrytown; the construction of 12 new affordable housing units on the old Village Hall site at Wildey Street; and the continued search to find new revenue streams while reducing village property taxes."
