Candidate Statement

I’m running for the Planning Board in Hopkinton because I want to help our town grow in the right way. I’ve worked in multiple startups, dealing with everything from Cloud storage to data management. Before that, I learned a lot about politics in Illinois, working to solve local issues by listening to people and not just arguing over party labels.

I believe in Hopkinton. We’ve got a great history and a bright future. I want to make sure we grow without losing what makes our town special. This means keeping our schools top-notch, protecting our green spaces, and making sure growth doesn’t push people out of their homes.

I’ve always been involved in the community, from being a Scout to helping out in political campaigns. These experiences taught me how important it is to listen and work together. I see some big challenges ahead, like making sure housing is affordable and bringing more businesses to town. But I’ve got ideas and the energy to tackle them.

What sets me apart is my ability to talk to anybody and work out solutions. I’m not scared to knock on doors or make calls to hear what you think. That’s how I plan to find out what matters most to you and make those things my priority on the Planning Board.

I’m excited about this opportunity and ready to work hard for all of us in Hopkinton. Together, we can make sure our town stays a great place to live, work, and play.
