I had the honor and privilege of attending the League of Women Voters Candidate forum in October. The full video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOg5q68F5TA. At-Large candidates were asked seven questions. Below are my responses to each.

Question 1 asked how we would address the issues of Latinx residents, as well as what we believed the issues were.

Question 2 asked about our priorities to expand housing for workers, students, and those on fixed incomes.

Question 3 asked about how we would implement Ranked Choice Voting

Question 4 asked about what changes we would suggest the Charter Review Committee consider.

Question 5 asked about waste hauling in Town.

Question 6 asked about listening to the public and their views.

Question 7 asked about the Town’s budget.

We were also given one minute to make a closing statement.
