Every morning, I wake up thinking about how blessed I am to call Port Jefferson home. This isn't just where I live – it's where I rebuilt my life, remarried, and raised three beautiful daughters. It's where we've made lifelong friendships, celebrated milestones, and where I've found purpose in service. 

​

I'm running for Mayor because Port Jefferson deserves leadership that puts people first. Not policies, not politics – people. 

Over my years as Trustee and Deputy Mayor, I've had the honor of listening to your stories – from the business owner struggling to attract foot traffic, to the senior who needs safer sidewalks, to the young family hoping for more community events.

 

These conversations haven't just informed my work; they've transformed it. 

​

My vision for Port Jefferson is simple: a village where everyone feels heard, valued, and included. Where transparency isn't just a buzzword but a daily practice. Where public safety measures protect our families without dividing our community.
