I am the only candidate living in North Belmont. I have elementary-aged children and I am not aligned with any group. My only agenda is what I believe is best for Belmont.

2. What are the two most important issues in Belmont and how do you plan to address them?

Growth: It's obvious that we can grow, but we must grow well. Crumbling infrastructure: We need a tactical approach that ensures minimum service levels (such as working sewers) for all of our citizens.

3. Is Belmont growing too slowly, too quickly, or at just the right pace? Why?

Too rapidly. We have more children than we do classrooms and our roads are insufficient. Growth is important but it should not come at the expense of quality education for our children.
