"I am grateful to our residents for this opportunity to serve our great Town.  Colonie is a desirable place to live and do business due to the hard work and dedication of the many people who serve our Town; including our Town workforce, educators, emergency personnel and selfless volunteers.  It is my goal to help make Town government more transparent, more fiscally responsible, and more responsive to our residents. I will also be looking for ways to improve the efficiency of Town services, and make them more available to our residents."
